Replying to: avalanchez66 (Apr 05, 2008 4:16 pm) I access its web page and look at its inventory of new cars. Not too many on 2008 Outlanders. I have received a new offer from a dealer not far from Palo Alto with $400 below invoice for a 2008 Outlander XLS. I think I may settle for this offer. |

I ended up purchasing yesterday. Many thanks to all those who posted useful info. 2007 awd xls no options dark graphite blue $21,500. I know I could have done better, but I didn't feel like grinding the price down for an hour over a few hundred dollars. Bought from the an internet sales dept in PA.

II have had very frustrating experience with these two dealerships, i.e. Capitol and Stevens Creek. They deceived me by asking me to come to their place to see the Outlander although they did not have the vehicle at all. I find later on when we have already agreed to a price that they did not have the vehicle I was looking for and during the whole procedure I discovered that they really wanted me to choose other vehicle. My suspicious were corroborated when I asked them for the VIN number of the vehicle they supposedly have in the stock. They simple vanished from earth and never got in touch with me anymore.

I went to a Mitsu dealer (Ed Voyles) here in the Atlanta area today. A little frustrating. This was my first time seeing the Outlander in person, and they happened to have one with all the options I want. Heck, it was even the color I like. I've been having a hard time finding competing brands that can come close to what I need. Anyways... The sticker on this thing was just over 30k. Of course, they added in an "appearance package" (pin stripes) for $450, and a "protection package" for $800. I had a feeling I was in for it when I saw these added on the sticker. MSRP without these was at 29,400k. It was right there with the Edmunds build & price. When we first sat down, the salesman starting filling out a credit app right away. I had to slow him down, and tell him they wouldn't need that until I agreed to a deal. Instead of working the deal with me at the table, he kept on leaving me sitting there while talking to his "manager" in the back. I mentioned I was looking for a lease deal, and he tried to only show me the monthly payments. I had to ask him what he was basing his payments off of. They basically removed the dealer "add-ons" so he was working off the sticker price of 29,400. So, I asked him about negotiating the price to get to a real number. He kept trying to BS me, showing me a chart of Mitsu lease deals with down payments, saying that they were "eating" the down payment to make my deal. I was getting a little unsettled at this point. How are you eating the down payment? The down payment is subtracted from the cost of the vehicle. He was trying to tell me it goes to Mitsubishi, and they don't make any money off of it. Huh? The other thing, is that the Mitsu lease deals they showed me had unfavorable term lengths. 42 / 48 / 60 months. Other brands are offering 24 / 36 / 39 deals. My current vehicle lease is a 39 month, which is about right for me in payment and length. I guess I need to refrain from mentioning that I'm going to lease the car. It's a little odd, but I didn't have these problems at the Ford dealership when I looked at the Escape. Everything was on the table. Anyone have an idea what I should expect on a lease deal for the Outlander? I've seen a few posts on here that say $1500 under invoice is what to look for in a deal. $26248 is $1500 under what Edmunds says is the invoice. Should I base my deal on that, or is it too aggressive? I'm trying to go no money down, and still have my payments in the $350-400 range with tax included. Any help is appreciated! |

I picked up my 2008 Outlander SE with nav and deflectors on Thursday, after waiting about 3 weeks for it to come in. Purchased by local dealer in San Angelo, Texas (Randall Mitsu). I test drove the Outlander and the Endeavor. Wife liked the larger size of the Endeavor, but I liked the tech, looks, size, etc, of the Outlander. Since this was a replacement for my car, a 95 Galant, the boss let me get the Outie  I used my bank's car buying service, and contacted Gillman Mitsu in San Antonio. Worked with Jason there, very friendly, but he just didnt have the SE models. My local dealer, Randall Mitsu, didnt have them either, but said they would accept my bank's price, and would work with me. After a delay or 2 in getting the model I wanted, it arrived. Local guys actually had to do a dealer swap with Don Herring in Irving, TX. I had the Mitsu loyalty discount ($500) and military discount ($500). With taxes, title, and license, the driveaway price was a tick under $25K. Exact price via buying service When we went to pick it up, we went into the financer's office, and were out in about 30min, even with 3 kiddos in there. We were on the road, pulled all the junk out of the Galant, and driving our new vehicle in about an hour. Plenty of prep via email, phone calls, and continuous good communication with Randall Mitsu made for a pleasant transaction. We didnt get the deflectors, yet, but they will call when they get them in. I also asked for a price on the 3rd row seat, as our SE has the storage instead of the seat. We figure the seat might be helpful for us, with the kiddos. If anyone wants to consider trading their seat for the storage, feel free to contact me at steve at zacharoo dot com. Regards, Steve  Pics of my 08 Outie SE

Hey guys, New to the forum. Question, how much under MSRP did any of guys got on a brand new 2007 Outlander? Last weekend I went to my local Mitsu dealer and talked and bargained and got the price down to $22300 for a base XLS. Is this a good price? Or is there more room for improvement considering it's a 2007 model year. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
