We recently detailed the as compiled by , but the one that spends the longest time sitting on dealer lots waiting for a buyer is none other than the .

Oh, you poor bastard, Outlander PHEV. You give Americans everything they want. You’re an SUV that’s not too big, but also not particularly rough or unrefined. It also gets decent fuel economy, and is .

It’s not even that expensive! Oh wait, yes it is. MSRP is $36,295.

Ah.

I see.

Mid-30s for a Mitsubishi blob that’s rated for 25 mpg if your battery isn’t charged. . Hm.

Perhaps it’s understandable that it ranked as the slowest-selling car on the :

We also got a nice little explanation of those figures:

iSeeCars also analyzed the new cars that remain on dealer lots the longest. The top 10 slowest-selling new cars remain on dealer lots for at least 1.5 to 2 times longer than the average vehicle. “These slowest-selling vehicles present savings opportunities for consumers as dealers will want to move these vehicles,” said Ly.

The slowest-selling new vehicle is the Mitsubishi Outlander. “The Mitsubishi Outlander compact SUV saw a 76 percent decrease in sales in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 2019, which shows that there isn’t high demand for the vehicle, despite its affordability and unique features like a third-row seat,” said Ly. It’s joined by the second-ranked Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, a second compact SUV from the automaker that debuted in 2018 and also isn’t a major seller.

Good god. The Outlander PHEV retails for 10 grand higher than what people are getting them for. Honestly, you are all missing out on some hardcore deals on the Outlander PHEV. A three-row plug-in hybrid for $26,683 almost makes me want an Outlander.

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

Which One Of You Suckers Is Going To Pay Over $32,000 For A 25-Year-Old Toyota 4Runner
The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

At $8,600, Would You Go Topless In This 1994 Cadillac Eldorado?
The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

At $18,500, Would You Lean Toward Buying This 2022 Ford Mustang?
Today’s Mustang is being sold by a towing yard, which means it’s probably a lien sale. Let’s see if this clean title convertible is priced to put a new buyer on the hook. The general consensus on last Friday’s was that it would be the perfect car for someone...
