Replying to: costello1 (Jan 09, 2008 2:36 pm) Nice deal. I am also looking for the same model. Did you pay Maryland taxes? Also how do you like the car? I have test driven Outlander XLS 3 times now and I am still not able to make up my mind if this is the car for me. I like the tech features that it offers but the engine is not quite smooth and quiet as a Murano or even a RAV V6. I am cross shoping it with RDX base, which I found to be a lot more smoother, handles better and rich from inside but not sure if it is worth the extra 6k in cost and plus the premium gas. |

Well- The Mitsu manager from Laird Noller just called me and told me there is NO $1500 incentive on 2008 models - I just wanted to let everyone know. He now wants me to pay him $1200 for a mistake the dealership made - even though I've already put a $500 deposit down on the vehicle for the lesser price. This is the THIRD dealership I've dealt with and always the same - sure, give us your money and well get you the car - then NOOOOO car. I'm really fed up with MItsubishi.

Is it just me or does buying a car remind one of an old Twilight Zone episode? Anyway... I FINALLY was able to purchase my 2008 Outlander for invoice - EXACTLY. I still have to drive it back from Kansas, but I think it was worth the 550 miles to get my AWD and drive the thing back to Texas. In all fairness, the $1500 rebate fiasco was a lack of communication between MANY people, not just the salesperson I was dealing with. In the end, we kind of split the difference and I wasn't too upset about getting the EXACT car I wanted for invoice - you know? Hopefully, all this craziness won't be a sign of trouble to come.... |

I remember a while back there were some discussions regarding leasing vs. buying. I am always a pro-buy type of car shopper because I am more conservative and I historically have been keeping my car for a long time. Yahoo Finance posted a simple article regarding pros & cons for leasing....hope you all find it some what useful. http://biz.yahoo.com/cbsm/080117/f35bda74122946f9b7897b8db77df43a.html?.v=1&- .pf=loans |

There is something wrong with the way dealers in the region of California sell Mitsubishi cars. Sometimes I wonder if it is the Mitsubishi dealers who should be blamed for those reports that said that Mitsubishi America wants to withdraw from the US market because of the small number of Mitsubishi cars sold in the US. I have sent emails to all of these dealers: Capitol, Concord, San Rafael, Stevens Creek, El Cerrito, Hayward, and Veracom and the majority -in spite of the fact I have specified clearly my requirements- they want to sell me what they have, i.e. 2007 models or 2008 models with the wrong color exterior/interior or with options I do not need and they want telephone numbers to pester me all the days with offers not related to my request. This is the same as having a salesman ringing my door all the time. These are not all but they want to fool me with 3K or 4K above MSRP of Mitsubishi on line prices. These tactics/techniques/tricks of selling Mitsubishi cars are very worrying with the result that this way of selling cars will eventually drive customers to look somewhere else for another brand of car. Mitsubishi America seems unaware of this, I believe. I have been advised to buy an Outlander from somewhere outside California, where Mitsubishi 2008 Outlander is sold below the invoice price, or contract the service of a known broker. Does someone in this forum have experience buying a car through a broker? Toyota has instituted a method to prevent customers stopping buying Toyota cars, because of dealers awful selling techniques. Toyota has contracted totally independent organizations to evaluate the level of satisfaction after a visit, a sale or a service in the dealership. This method has prevented appalling dealers to continue given Toyota a bad reputation. This organization will contact Toyota directly without the dealership knowing and the dealership will be flagged for a Toyota staff visit. This is the car I am looking for: 2008 Outlander XLS 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6 Cyl 6A), Color: Rally Read Metallic exterior, Beige Leather interior, 7-spoke alloy wheels, P5 & P2 packages included. The Invoice price for this car is $27,130. (Taxes is not included) |

I want to purchase a 2008 Outlander. I am looking at a 2WD with DVD player. I am paying cash. What price range should I look for?? If I am paying cash, I expect to get a lower deal. Is that fair to say? Thanks, John

Replying to: infrared (Jan 29, 2008 12:40 pm) You can find the dealer invoice price online, then negotiate as close to that as you can. End of the month is the best time to buy. There are some rebates being offered on the Outlander right now, and some incentives for military, past Mitsubishi owners, and students I think. See the Mitsubishi site for those. |
