#41 of 65 What is a Fair price ? by j12 Sep 11, 2007 (6:15 am)
Can anyone tell me if $20,900 is a good deal on a GTS with Nav and S&S package. I went to other dealers in Miami area and they will only go 500 under MSRP please help!!!!
#42 of 65 Fair Price by mbunting Sep 11, 2007 (7:44 am)
That seems like a decent deal to me...I paid $20938 for mine just last week...that was using the Costco $100 over invoice program and also includes a $500 Military rebate.   And did you mean $500 below INVOICE or MSRP?   $500 below Invoice would be: $20838   So, to me, $20900 seems decently good, just make sure that you don't let the finance guy tack on any bogus fees/charges and don't buy the extended warranty unless you really want it. And if you do buy that, don't just accept his first price quote....
#43 of 65 Window Tint by mbunting Sep 11, 2007 (7:47 am)
For those that have gotten your windows tinted in your 08 Lancer...did you have any problems with it getting scratched after you rolled down/up your windows a couple of times?   This morning, I noticed a tiny scratch or line on my tint that I did not notice after having it done. I need to investiage it further, but it looks like a scratch to me...very small though (at least right now)...   I know I have heard of some vehicles needing to be lined w/ felt (the window area anyway) to stop tints from being scratched...could the Lancer be one of those that need this extra protection to safegaurd the tint?

Replying to: surfnix54 (Aug 24, 2007 7:55 am) how much did you pay and from which dealership did you buy your GTS from?

Replying to: mbunting (Sep 11, 2007 7:47 am) I had my windows tinted in my new 08 lancer and I have scratches in my tint now from the weather stripping being too hard. I brought it to the dealership and they told me that the tint is too thick, and they don't cover anything to do with accessories like tint. They advised me to go back to the tint place that did it. I haven't because I know it's not the tint guys fault and if I have him replace the tint it will just scratch again because of the weather stripping. I was hoping there was more people that had the same problem enough to have the dealership get a fix for it. Replies to this message: mbunting (Nov 19, 2007 3:34 pm)

Replying to: jlwestbrock (Nov 19, 2007 12:28 pm) Yeah, Mitsu shouldn't really be held responsible for this I'm afraid...what you can have the tint shop do is to line the inside of the window area (or the weather stripping?) with felt. You have to do this with lots of cars/trucks actually. The tint is not too thick, it's just something causing the scratching...I don't think it's the weather stripping causing the problem though, as I think it's something else inside the window/door area...but I could be wrong.   Anyway, the tint place should know exactly what you are talking about when you mention it...and if they don't...find another place.   You'll have to have it replaced, and they should be able to add the felt this time for not too much extra (I'm guessing) maybe like $50?   The scratches are driving me crazy as well...looks pretty bad from the inside of the car, but you can't really notice from the outside.   Will probably have mine replaced eventually...just wish I would have read the scratching issue before having mine done.   Good luck.   Still loving our 08' Lancer GTS - I absolutely love the Nav system.
#49 of 65 I too have the tinting scratching by iluvmysephia1 Nov 22, 2007 (5:54 pm)
but it doesn't bother me enough to worry about having the felt put in and re-tinting done.   I do have to buff a few dog claw scratches out with some Kit rub-on material. And I am picking up a paint stick from the dealer tomorrow so I can paint over an area where a paint chip(about 1/4" long by 1/8" tall) was taken off by a kicked-up rock. Those issues are more important to me right now. Don't wanna leave it to the elements for water to get under it, etc. I looked at the car pretty close today and couldn't really find any other nicks or chips, happily!   I think that if the tinting scratching on the windows could be seen from the outside I would get it fixed but it can't so I'm not gonna do anything about it.   Still loving my '08 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS in Rally Red and CVT automatic. Mitsubishi hit it spot on with this new Lancer! The bodystyle is my favorite of any car all time, along with the 1965 Ford Mustang. Simply superb!
