Don't worry too much about the deal. There are more important things to be worrying about. Over the long haul maybe you are paying $10 - $15 a month over the BEST price you could have gotten. Heck, depending on where you live you could be making that up on gas prices alone. Up until I visited my in-laws two weeks ago I thought my gas prices were bad ($1.40 here in Raleigh), they are in the Chicago area and paying $2.00. Based on a 15 gallon tank, that's $10 bucks a tank! Since I fill up a few times a month, I'm saving some decent money over people in Illinois. The important thing is you are happy with the car. Refinance if you can down the road, but do a bunch of research because you may have a hard time finding a better a rate because you will be refinancing a "used" car. |

| Places like http://www.eloan.com specialize in financing used cars. I think their rates are something like 7.49 most or all of the time. | |
| Don't mean to contradict, (don't take it the wrong way...) but the best rate from E-Loan is 7.99% for a 3 year term on a NEW car. If you go to 5 years it's up to 8.39%. It's even more for a used car. And remember, that's for good credit. He had to settle for the 9.99% because he was a student who hadn't established himself yet. The rates will be higher until his credit rating goes up. | |

You are right. Sorry dude. Haven't checked them in a while and also forgot that the interest rates just hiked up not long ago as well. My fault. |

Here is a link to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Highway Loss Data Institute and their crash test of 1999-2000 Galant. For those who don't know yet, Galant was given an "A"! http://www.highwaysafety.org/vehicle_ratings/ce/mid_inexp/galant.htm |

EDID:I too am from Minnesota-Mpls/St.Paul area and am looking at purchasing a 2000 ES V6. I was wondering what dealer you went through. Did you have a trade-in? If so, did they give you a fair price? What was the final price you paid-including tax, title and license? Any info/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! |
|
| The dealer was Kline. My tax was a little different because I live in Duluth and we have a separate auto sales tax of 1%. You can figure the tax, title etc on your own after you get a firm price on the car. They went to $19,100 for a 2000 Es v6 including mudguards and cargo net, but the car did have 500 miles on it. | |
| Forgot to mention no trade was considered. | |
| I am a very satisfied original owner of a '92 Galant 5-speed. My local dealer tells me that '00 Galants are not available in a manual transmission. What gives Mitsubishi? | |

Hey everybody... so like I'm flyin' down the street today trying to make it to a 10:00 appointment. It's 9:45. I'm in the right lane, drop it from D to 2, the rpm flies up to 4500 and my LS comes alive. I drop it to the floor and the whole car jumps, dodge into the left lane around a minivan, shift into 3 and again V6 power lurches into adrenaline speed. The car handles with a quick response moves around with every little command I give. Red light, shift down, brakes on. Stopped!! Tick - Tick, I look at my watch it's 9:55, I've got 5 minutes. Green and off I go, my baby jumps out of the gate, she's the first one through and pulling away from the crowd. OH man, a slow driver (or maybe I'm flyin') rzzzzzmmmmmm, I brake to negotiate, boom there's opening, I shift down, and launch ahead.... I come around the corner, zoom into the car park (parking lot). What a rush!!! I walk into the appointment ON Time, thankyou V6 LS The car I'm talking about is a black 00 LS customized. The LS with a little customizing, is a classy 4 door rocket. I LOVE IT!!! Black Lighting (NOTE- don't try this without proper instruction.) |
