#22 of 51 Re: Finally got it [ellusionz21] by wpath Jul 18, 2007 (12:45 pm)
Replying to: ellusionz21 (May 14, 2007 4:55 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.
#23 of 51 Looking to buy a 2008 Lancer GTS with S&S and Navi and Tech packages by bardauskas Aug 09, 2007 (5:30 am)
Just wondering if any has any price quotes on a 08' lancer GTS with the sun and sound & Navigation and Technology packages. I'm actually a canadian who wants to buy one in the states cuz ours here sucks the big one. I don't need financing because I will be paying cash for it. I'm looking for either maine or michigan dealerships. :   Thank you to anyone who can help me Replies to this message: ike3 (Aug 09, 2007 12:26 pm)
#24 of 51 Let me get this straight... by 1racefan Aug 09, 2007 (8:20 am)
From what I am reading here, the ES and DE models can be had for right at invoice, but the GTS cannot, due to its popularity???   I am looking at an ES that the dealer has stuck a rear spoiler on, and added side window deflectors. One of the things I have noticed is locally there are very few "unmolested" Lancers. All these dealers have added stuff to them.   My dealer has 2 Lancer ES with leather interior - I had no idea leather was even an option.

Replying to: 1racefan (Aug 09, 2007 8:20 am) All Lancer Models can be negotiated closer to invoice. I have spoken with several people where the sticker price for their 08 Lancer GTS was $22K, but the negotiated and got it down to the $17K range. It all depends on the local areas demand the what the dealer has in stock. If it is popular in the area you are buying and the dealer can only get its hands on 2, they won't be as willing to "wheel and deal". Opposite that, if the dealer constantly has 10 or more Lancers available and they are selling in that area, the dealer will be more willing to negotiate to move old inventory for new inventory, even if it is the same vehicle. It also shows well to Mitsubishi if the dealer can sell more cars than other Mitsubishi dealers in the area.   As to Lancers that are bare stock at whatever trim level, the dealer purposely adds stuff as well as B.S. things like "Additional Rust inhibitors and Fabric sealants" to be able to justify a raised price. The thing to keep in mind is that dealers are trying to make as much money out of you as possible. Also, they have the ability to negotiate for cars with specific setups from other dealers in the state. The best way to get what you want is to know what you want, even if that is a trim level base bare from the factory, and request that one. If the dealer you go to doesn't have it or won't work to order from Mitsubishi or negotiate one from another dealer, take your business elsewhere. It is your money, don't compromise what you want.   As for the leather option, it is NOT a standard option for any level of 08 lancer, however, many dealers have connections to local body shops and upholstery makers where can get customized leather seats installed. This is generally a bit of a pricey add on, again, that the dealer wants to put on there to be an incentive to a certain market of people where they can get away with charging more and not compromising on the sticker price as much.   Hope this helped to answer your questions.   Bill Replies to this message: 1racefan (Aug 09, 2007 10:51 am)

Replying to: gijoewildbill (Aug 09, 2007 10:44 am) The dealer has about 16 total on their lot. 2 have leather (both ES models). 1 is an ES with leather, but no sunroof. The other is an ES with leather, and a sunroof. They have several DE models, some with sunroofs and custom wheels. There isn't a single ES that hasn't been gussied up with something (either a rear spoiler, custom wheels, side deflectors, leather interior, etc...).   I just thought it was odd to see a whole slew of ES Lnacers on their lot, and everyone has been modified to some extent.

Replying to: bardauskas (Aug 09, 2007 5:30 am) You might find some aggressive pricing in the Boston MA area, if you wish to travel further south. Also, why not upstate NY? You share a common border there as well. Syracuse area, or Buffalo area. Go to the Mitsubishi USA website. I would suspect more aggressive pricing would be found towards Boston.  More competition there.

#29 of 51 2008 Electric Blue w/ Sun & Sound - AMAZING! by surfnix54 Aug 24, 2007 (8:55 am)
Picked up my first Mitsubishi and also - first NEW car [fifth car though] last night. Amazing experience. I was between the Lancer and a Scion but it was in the end easy to decide after reading raving reviews online and seeing close to NOTHING negative anyone (yet) had to say!!! First 5 hours so far, wonderful!   Got to work 20 minutes early (was so excited to drive it, left too early!) Boss is happy I have more inspiration to get to work!!! Total cost after my trade-in w/ sun & sound (includ. tax, etc.) - $20k I am financing (+ worth it!!!!!!) - Located on Long Island, NY. Replies to this message: mggarcia23 (Sep 16, 2007 2:39 pm)

congratulations on your new '08 Lancer! I have stated on the net a few times before that this new body design on the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer is my favorite car body design ever, along with the '65 Ford Mustang (which was my first car).   I have no complaints after 7,600 miles of driving and 5 months of ownership. An uplifting car to own and fun to drive.   I love that menacing SabreCat front end...it's awesome!
