I bought mine by ddurham

I've been researching on Edmunds since July and finally decided on the Outlander. Was waiting on 0% financing but didn't materialize. Sent email to local dealers asking for a quote. Most sent me their phone number to try and get me on the phone or in their office. One dealer sent me a quote for an XLS with no options for 22,550. My target price was 22,500 so he was right on the mark. He didn't have the color i wanted but could get it from another dealer. I stopped by to make sure i liked the color (desert sand beige) and decided the cloth interior wouldn't get along with my 4 yr old. They had an XLS with sun/sound, nav and luxury on the lot in that color. The dealer offered it to me for 26,600 plus tax and registration and with 2.9% for 60 months so I took it. So far i love it. The sound system is awesome. Leather is a bit stiff and not as comfy as the cloth but im sure will be worth it in the long run. Drives great and so far gas milage is averaging 23mpg as long as i drive sensibly.

Nice price, I may go to the dealer today to see what they offer. The guy I emailed with literally told me their manager does not like email. Too bad we only have one dealer in town.
I walked out on a deal on an RDX last week because they changed the numbers once I got there (it was still over 4k below msrp) so I will have no problem walking out today if they don't give me what I want, lets just hope they are getting desperate, they have 6 almost fully loaded XLSs on stock, that can't be very good.

Work the price as the 2008s are coming soon they will want to move the 2007s. I picked up my LS AWD with Sun & Sound (MSRP $26,135/Invoice $24,763) for $22,195. The dealer had quite a few new (2007) on the lot and another 10 or so service loaners available. The transaction was quick and easy, but make sure you don't have a trade or need a loan or you will be "negotiated" into paying more. I had to drive to the big city as my hometown dealer only had 1 to choose from.
 
Good luck.

Sounds like a good deal. Same rig as mine. (LS AWD Sun & Sound.) Enjoy your new ride!

Dealer wants $23,800 for a 2007 XLS with Sun and Sound, Nav,and Luxury package. Car has 4600 miles on it. Does anyone know if this sounds like a good deal? From what I've seen looking around it seems like a really good deal, almost too good to be true?
 
THANKS!!

It all depends on if it is being sold as new or used. If its sold as used then your powertrain warranty is cut down to 5 years/60,000 miles and the clock is ticking on it and the other vehicle warranties (from the "original in-service date"). To me, the longer warranty of the Mitsubishi is part of what makes them such a good value. If you take that away then you're getting less value. So this may not be such a great deal. Check for pricing on a used 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS with 4600 miles and the options you've listed. If you can't find a better deal anywhere else, then yeah maybe it is worth it.
 
However, from what I can tell Mitsubishi doesn't have a certified used vehicle program. So you could conceivably purchase a car with a problem that is not covered by warranty (water damage, bent frame, etc.), no matter if you purchase it from a dealer or not. Used cars not sold as certified are usually sold "As Is" which means if you find a problem that the manufacturer won't cover you are out of luck. For that reason, I would pay to have a mechanic check the car out thoroughly before you buy it.
 
Also, if you're financing the purchase the interest rate on your loan is going to be higher than for a new car purchase. So you'll end up paying more in interest payments for the used car than on a similarly priced new car.
 
All this is not to say that you shouldn't purchase the car. However, if you do decide to go through with it make absolutely sure you've had the car thoroughly inspected and you know exactly how much your payments are going to be and you're okay with losing years and miles off of your warranty.

Thank you!! That's a great point about the warranty, I didn't realize they cut it in half like that.
 
The price of the car with all the options it has is really better than any other used 2007 outlander out there. I see some with less options about the same mileage for alot more. I'm going to check it out this weekend and see if there are hidden dealer things in that price that don't apply to me or some tricks like that. Still doing some shopping for some other SUV's as well though.

Kkillmey. Is this the Keffer Mitsubishi dealer in Huntersville, North Carolina that is offering XLS Outlander for $23,800. I remember test driving the exact same vehicle that you had mentioned in your post at the Keffer Mitsubishi dealership but did not buy it since it was a 2WD. The car was good otherwise.

Suvseracher1 this one is in Texas. Do you know if you can get them to come down on the price of used cars very much? I was thinking of offering $23,500 out the door (tax and title included). Think they would go for that?
