#14 of 65 08 Lancer GTS fully loaded by teekster May 18, 2007 (10:16 pm)
I live in IL Chicagoland area. Just purchased an 08 Lancer GTS, fully loaded in electric blue for 22,243. Of course the dealership tried to sell it to me for sticker price, which I said there's no way in hell I'm paying.   I don't believe I got a good deal, I got a fair deal. Included in the 22,243 was door guards, wheel locks, and scuff plates. The financing was 4.9% at 60 months, which I believe there is a special for until 5/31/07. I also had a trade in valued just over 5,100. After the trade in, I also was eligible for the 2 incentives bringing it down another 1,000.   I just want everyone on here to know that Electric Blue is the most requested color out there. The salesperson flat out LIED TO ME.   First he said they had 1 Electric Blue GTS at another location. After about 30 minutes of talking to his manager, he comes back and says Mitsubishi is having a problem with the blue paint chipping off and there won't be anymore blue Lancers until July. To top this off, he says that any other dealer would tell me this same exact thing. Next, he offers me a black or red GTS, which I said let me think about it. I pretended like I was on the phone with another dealership and just before I was going to tell him I would wait until July, he magically says they have one.   Max Madsen Mitsubishi has poor salesmen. This guy spent more time in the manager's office than he did talking to me. It was annoying how they purposely extended the negotiation for no reason. On top of this, they had other salespersons acting as spies to try to hear pieces of conversation I was having with the person I brought with me. Be careful if you negotiate with them. This will probably be my second and LAST Mitsubishi I buy from them.

Replying to: kooly (May 17, 2007 8:04 am) Kooly, your information and experience are much appreciated. Nice to hear from a local person. As your email address is private, I had to write you here.  There are now only 2 dealers in Rochester. Carlisle Mitsubishi no longer exists, correct? That leaves us Marina and Cortese. I think I know which one. That would be the one closer to Lake Ontario, correct?  Buffalo dealerships had plenty more in stock. The one off Transit Road is the one I stopped in at recently. Again, no clue as to what they would discount. The other writer in this forum got his for $1200. off factory invoice, which I assume also includes a port fee and advertising fee and financial reserve? These are numbers NEVER MENTIONED with companies like Edmunds or KBB, as they claim those numbers can and do vary regionally, except the port fee?  Either way, please confirm with me which dealership and name of sales person privately. My email address will be avbl in my profile this weekend thru Monday evening.  Also...why the Lancer over the new Nissan Sentra? Just curious, I was cross shopping them. Sentra does a bit better with fuel consumption, and is definitely quieter on the inside. Seats were great too, in the Sentra.

Sentra does a bit better with fuel consumption, and is definitely quieter on the inside. Seats were great too, in the Sentra.   In my entirely subjective opinion, the Sentra is UGG-LEE.   I also was contemplating the Sentra, but once I saw how well styled the new Lancer looked it was no contest. One thing that really irked me about the Sentra was the elimination of Bluetooth and steering wheel audio controls on the SE-R. Why did Nissan have to decontent their sporty model? Usually when you move up the model ladder more options become available, not less! The only excuse I can come up with is that Nissan thinks the Sentra SL with the standard engine is their top rung model and gets all the gee-whiz gadgets.

Replying to: ike3 (May 19, 2007 4:55 am) My dealer paid Destination charges (which includes port fee if I recall, not sure). There are a lot of 'fees' and charges in there that are bogus and pad the dealer profit. You can usually get some or all taken off depending on their holdback margin and rebates. From what a few folks at dealerships who are in regional car clubs have said, assuming they are right, there is over 2800 in holdbacks and other money from invoice (And from what I saw of the dealer invoice sheet which the owner faxed to me during our re-negotiation process, that's about spot on).   I can't stand it when salesman and sales managers and finance managers play games and drag it out. Honestly, the dealer I was at did a bit of that, along with a four square sheet, and out here I have seen it at other dealers (Ford, Pontiac to a minor degree, and especially Mazda). It's all a game... more often than not the salesman goes over to the business manager and they shoot the crap or discuss options to try and get you higher than where you want to be or otherwise discuss what the salesman has learned about you that is to their advantage... and they chew the fat and otherwise eat up time. The salesmanager knows his margin on the car, what he will offer on trade at most and what he would rather get, etc... and can punch it all into his workstation and get instant numbers; they are simply trying to figure out your weaknesses and where to attack while wearing you down.

Replying to: ellusionz21 (May 14, 2007 3:55 pm) okay, I realize i am a month late, but ellusionz..... that seems to be a great price!   I live in the dallas area, but would be willing to take a road trip to florida   Have one question as well: fees listed by you include $200 for documents and title, $200 for tags and registration, and $17 for electronic filing. Do you think any of these were optional? I mean, some only list $150 as total fees.   And NOT saying its still not a great price! You did great!   PS anyone in the Dallas area come close to this deal?   pumpkin Replies to this message: pmpkin123 (Jun 24, 2007 12:43 pm)

Replying to: pmpkin123 (Jun 16, 2007 6:58 am) well, since ellusionz could not get back to me, I had to go out and negotiate it myself   Black ES CVT no options at all, Stickered MSRP was 16,890 wioth an additional 625 destination charge for total of 17,515. My price was 16,716 , then had to add Registration fee of 72, title fee 33, State inspection fee 22, Document fee 50, deputy fee 5, and then a tricky little inventory tax fee that was never explained, but just "added" to my sales tax after the 6.25%.   Nice thing was, no VIN etching fee or seat protection was added to EVERY CAR on the lot, like some high pressure joints. I hate it when they just add stuff and try and charge for it   Not under invoice, but right at it according to Edmunds.   Thanks for all the info though guys, without y'all help, I never would have thought it would even have gone this low.   pumpkin
#21 of 65 finally got it by ilovetrailers Jul 17, 2007 (9:47 am)
Your price is invoice minus 46 cents. The only thing left for the dealer was holdback of $337 plus any money they will get for making their quota from Mitsubishi. They also got the doc fee of $ 50.   I know this because the invoice is right in front of me.   We sell them all day at invoice but not the GTS. We can't get them fast enough.   Replies to this message: j12 (Sep 11, 2007 6:13 am)

Replying to: ellusionz21 (May 14, 2007 3:55 pm) I got my Wicked White ES, CVT with Sun and Sound, fog lights and appearance package last week. The MSRP with the $625 delivery was $19,505. I paid $18,106 before trade, etc.   I ended up going to RC Hill Mitsubishi in Deland, FL. Great people, and I would recommend them highly. I basically got the deal done before I went to the dealership, so it was quick and easy. Got 3.9% financing for 48 months. All in all, I am very pleased with the car, and the deal.
