Sticker prices are around 33K and they are no longer offering incentives.   I have scheduled maintenance, got a great owner loyalty, and a rebate. They are not giving anyone a reason to get into the larger vehicles. It's rather dumb. You'd think they'd have more incentives to get rid of them, especially today. They only offered me $500 owner loyalty with no scheduled maintenance, no rebates, NOTHING. I'd wait until the fall if I were looking to get into a new vehicle. They'll be pushing to get rid of the 05 and 06 models!

The new Endeavor coming out looks amazing. I think it will be one of the bst looking car-based suvs on the road.
#4 of 32 We need your help! by tidester HOST Oct 15, 2006 (10:48 pm)
Hi, everyone. As you've probably noticed, we have been trying to refine the discussions into more narrowly focussed topics. Our objective is twofold. We want to make it easier for people seeking specific information about their vehicles to find it easily and without having to wade through hundreds or thousands of postings.   To those ends, we will be shutting down the general make/model discussions and work exclusively with specific issues. This requires us to populate the make/model subsections with relevant, interesting and timely topics. Rather than having the hosts simply create boilerplate topics for each make/model, we feel that you, the owner, the make/model enthusiast and the prospective buyer can best judge what those topics should be.   You can help by adding a discussion (it's easy!) or suggesting one here.   To add a discussion, click on the last link in the "You are here" line at the top of this page. That will take you to the topic page for this make/model. Review the list of topics and click on the "Add discussion" link when you've decided what topic you'd like to add. Follow the directions and you're done! Feel free to add more than one. Just avoid duplicating existing topics and try not to make it TOO specific!   Your help and continued participation in the Forums is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Long story short, the Endeavor is for me a near perfect balance of size,weight,power,braking and MPG. I recently shopped the Volvo XC90 and for $21K more than an Endeavor, you can get about the same performance as the 2007 Endeavor.You'll need to buy the V8 however and all you really gain is a 3rd row seat sutible only for little ones.The Volvo was nice , but $21K more nice it clearly wasn't.So now I'm shopping for a new 07 Endeavor SE w/nav. & sunroof. I'm 4 to 6 weeks away from a purchase and waiting to see if Mitsu. extends the current rebates after April 2. Anyone have any idea what's coming as a 2008 Endeavor? Anyone have any comments on the Nav system? Bill C.
#6 of 32 Driving comparo with Outlander? by spaceman210 Mar 26, 2007 (5:10 pm)
Has anyone compared the driving characteristics of Endeavor with the '07 Outlander? Yes, I know they are different classes of vehicles, that the former requires premium gas, and has a wider turning circle. I'm interested in ride, handling, powertrain performance, NVH, comfort comparisons. The Endeavor seems to get a lot of praise in these areas whereas there is some carping on the Outlander over interior quality and noise.

#7 of 32 Redesigned Endeavor by 1novadriver Apr 10, 2007 (9:41 am)
Any news as to when Mitsubishi will redesign the Endeavor and what major changes/upgrades it's getting??? I wanted to get the Endeavor, however, the lack of a 3rd row seat & use of premiun gas stirred me away and decided to get a Honda Pilot instead... I used to own a 95 Mitsubishi Galant, I had it for 13 years without any problem(s), drove from the east coast to the west coast, again without any problem, a testament to it's under rated quality.. I sold it coz I have to move back to the east coast again... A definite trade-in if Mitsubishi get it's right... Replies to this message: kodename (Apr 11, 2007 4:05 pm)

Replying to: 1novadriver (Apr 10, 2007 9:41 am) When will a all-new Endeavor come out??? I've seen 2009 mentioned , but also 2011, and perhaps it'll just go away or be built elsewhere. Mitsubishi's role in North America is still up for grabs and no one knows what will happen if numbers don't get better. Will the Illinois plant remain in operation by then? Will Mitsub's parent Companies continue to pour $$ into the American Market? I researched as much as I could find on future Endeavors because I have been so happy with my 2004 and I was frankly afraid they'd be forced to cut corners to lower costs. The Endeavor is a fine product as it is even without the usually useless 3 rd row seating. I just traded my 04 for a 2007 and I'm very hopefull this 07 will be everything my 04 was and still is. Yes, Yes the Pilot and the Freelander are fine products, but the Endeavor stacks up well in the real world against them. An added bonus is you won't see 10 more just like yours in every parking lot as you do with those really bland stylings of the Honda/Toyota.    I suspect any re-design of the Endeavor would include some sort of 3rd row seat, but as with the others , it will come at the expense of the 1st and 2nd row. Styling also will change , I suspect something with more of a roofline like the R-Class Mercedes perhaps. A power/remote rear hatch and a rear camera would be nice options,(IMO)rather than a 3rd row of seating.The current Endeavor is a real bargin for those who are willing to step away from the Honda/Toyota mind set.The build quality is there , and they are built in the only Japanese owned car plant that employes UAW workers. Isn't that worth something?    Personally , I aplaud Mitsubishi for building some fine products. These products have been overshadowed by mistakes within the company that went on for too long, but that's in the past. Bill C.
#9 of 32 Endeavor ALL Wheel Driveability by jeffer3 Apr 29, 2007 (5:13 pm)
I would like to hear about real-world experience with the AWD system in the Endeavor. I currently have a Subaru Outback which has excellent AWD but the cabin is too cramped for me, and too little cargo space. Also would like to know the technical aspects of the Endeavor AWD as well. Mitsubishi has a great write-up on the Outlander but I think there are a few finishing details on that vehicle, at this point, that might dissuade me from buying it. I've read many good things about the Endeavor, just can't find any testimonies on the AWD and how well it works in snow, mud, and hill climbs.   thanks in advance Jeffer03 Replies to this message: kodename (May 01, 2007 6:38 pm) jeffer3 (May 01, 2007 7:14 pm) kodename (May 05, 2007 4:20 pm)

Replying to: jeffer3 (Apr 29, 2007 5:13 pm) Jeffer , I can tell you my experience has been all positive. Our first Endeavor was the 2004 LS AWD, and we drove it to just over 40K before trading it in on a 2007 Endeavor SE-AWD. The 04 was our first ever AWD vehicle and mechanically it never gave us any reason to question its operation. I never hauled a trailer , nor did I ever take the Endeavor on any 'off-road' trails. But in the snow and on rain slic blacktop the vehicle was always sure footed and never left us worried that maybe we couldn't get to where we wanted to go. In the mountains and in high desert winds , the thing always seemed composed and sure footed.Even Driving at 90mph , it still felt like it was stable , and not out of breath. Our new '07 has only 600 miles on it now(2 weeks old) and it's as squeak and rattle free as our 04. I really missed the exterior door side trim of the 04,05,&06 model so we bought them and put them on the new 2007.Like wise we kept the Mud/snow rubber floor mats from our old Endeavor.Other than routine maintenance , the Endeavor never costs us a dime, and our 04 had a now meger sounding 24 month warranty! The 3.8L never misses a beat and the torque makes it strong off the line. No vehicle is perfect , but the Endeavor is a excellant blend of size and power.IMO. It rides better than a Tahoe, gets better mileage,and the cargo areas are very simular.Rear seat legroom is fantastic. Not even the Volvo XC90 V8 pulls harder off the line , and it was $21K more! We shopped the others over and over in 04 and again this year , but decided to stay with the Mitsubishi. I have driven Subies, and they too are sure footed in snow and rain, I looked at a Forester, but it seemed to small, and Subies styling sometimes is ,well, too different , for my tastes(B9 Tribeca,anyone?)But , I know they are good as well..Bill C.
