When was production of the Mitsubishi Grandis discontinued?

I purchased a Mitsubishi Grandis in April 2009 from a Mitsubishi dealer as a part-exchange for my 2007 Volvo XC90. After a short period, we were not happy that we had done the right thing. We had also looked seriously at the Outlander, and both Mitsubishi cars where a similar price. Recently (in July) we decided to change the Grandis and went to the same dealer, who offered us a ridiculous trade-in price. We then discovered that the car had been discontinued. We went to another garage last week, who informed us that production of this car ceased in 2007 and that it was discontinued in February 2009. Not only do we feel stupid, but feel we have been misled and have lost out financially. What advice can you offer and was this model discontinued in February 2009 two months before we purchased it? If we had known this at the time we would have not purchased it.

Production of Grandis 2.0DID Equipe and Warrior discontinued in September 2007. But the Warrior is listed as sold 'as new' until 2009/58. Presumably yours is 09 registered. But all this happened to long ago and is not grounds to reject the car anyway. There's nothing wrong with it as a car, and it seats seven far better than an Outlander will do.
