#2 of 81 Buying/shopping experience by kodename Apr 14, 2004 (7:19 pm)
After driving a used Mercedes ML320 at the dealership, we drove the base model AWD Endeavor.The dealer sold both brands new as well as VW and Porsche.The Endeavor really stood out for us. Besides the $2K rebate, the dealer "discounted" the Endeavor LS $600 and gave us and additional $600 above the edmunds value guide for our trade in(a 2001 VW Cabrio) My only fear at this point would be Mitsubishi possibly increasing the rebate amount in the future. The dealer had a good selection of Endeavors on his lot and in general the buying experience was plesant enough.We drove or looked at everything including the Toureg,G.Cherokee,Murano,Pilot new and the Mercedes and Lexus used. The Endeavor just stood out among all we looked at and the price seemed like a bargan as did the warranty. Was it a good deal? Who knows? It seemed "fair" based on my research.I always go in with the financing already done, that makes the buying process a lot easier IMO Bill C.

LS AWD. Signed over rebate to dealer,got 0%-5 years, $600 under dealer invoice. Could have gotten another $1000 knocked off if I was better at dealing. maybe.
#4 of 81 Final Cost by endeavorowner Apr 15, 2004 (5:54 pm)
Are all the "extras", taxes, license plate fees, etc. to be included in the final cost of the Endeavor when posted? This can make a big difference in the bottom line paid for the SUV. I'm curious. If I go by what others have paid and it included all the "extras", I paid tooooo much.
#5 of 81 Final Cost by dan41 Apr 16, 2004 (5:00 am)
The (TTL)cost you mention vary from State to State and there are other factors which impact these extra cost. As an example, in Mass, there is a 5% sales tax based on actual price, less any trade-in. Pay 30K with no trade-in, you pay $1500 sales tax (5%). Pay 30K, with a 15K trade-in, you pay sales tax of $750. Therefor, if the intent is to share purchase price information, I don't believe these extra cost are a true reflection of the purchase price, so I have not included them in my previous post.
#6 of 81 Final cost by shooterd Apr 16, 2004 (5:38 am)
Yes, this is why I like to hear the actual final price agreed upon with the dealer is. Because not everyone is going to have a trade, etc, so they're not really comparable. Besides, a "final price" to me is the price before I have put anything of value of mine into the deal and before taxes and other fees have been added - which is why I hate newspaper ads these days that tout, "ONLY $25,000" and then in very tiny postscript underneath "with $2500 cash or trade". To me, my trade is like my own little pile of money sitting there and that's not part of the dealer's price. So I feel it would be helpful on here if it were broken down like: MSRP - $ Final negotiated price with dealer = $ Less rebate of - $ Final out the door price of $xxxxx, not including TTL. (since these vary from place to place) Then if you wanted, you could add that you threw in as trade an AMC pacer that you found while digging a garden in your back yard or whatever and got x amount of dollars for that.

I had trouble with your link, Concrete1717. "The suggested retail price for the enhanced Endeavor ranges from a low of $24,999 - almost $600 less than the initial 2004 launch price - to a fully loaded suggested retail price of $33,794, not including destination and handling of $595." Here's a drill down path to the 4/16/04 press releases (one's general - one's a full pricing guide). Steve, Host

Is there any guess as to how long it will take Edmunds to update their pricing and standard equipment listings now that this statement has been released? Replies to this message: steve_ (Apr 20, 2004 8:44 am) eaglefly (Feb 14, 2005 6:56 pm) charles12 (Jul 22, 2005 7:12 am)
#10 of 81 Good Price? by tubbs Apr 20, 2004 (4:13 am)
I'm looking at a Limited 2WD. The MSRP is $31697 and the invoice is $29995 including the destination charge. The price I'm at right now is $30631. With rebates it comes down to $28631. Has anyone else priced out the Limiteds? How does this compare? Also, wondering when the 2004.5's will be available. I would assume dealers will start marking down the 04's soon because the 04.5's have a lot of added features like 10 more HP, along with more safety features and general amenities all with a lower MSRP.
