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!

I see an ad for basic 2009 lancer: $12,000 - the ad says they have 50 of them, and basic 2008 Outlander $17,000. Grand Mitsubishi, Chicago area

Replying to: mbunting (Sep 11, 2007 7:47 am) I have the same problem. The inside of the weatherstrip doesn't have any felt so it's damaging my tint. I called the dealership and they will look at it. My llumar tint job is basically ruined. I am very upset since my tint was redone to get the bubbles out. I rolled the windows down and I hear a screech and there were many lines dug into a perfectly done tint job. I don't think it's happening with the rear windows. Hope this helps. The dealership should replace these defective door strips
#52 of 65 Price Lancer GTS (MT) '09 by icepolo Jul 12, 2008 (6:34 pm)
Hello, guys. I am considering of purchasing a Lancer GTS 2009 (MT) model this year. I would like how much did you guys pay OTD for that model? Especially in Queens, NYC. How low were you able to negotiate on the invoice? What are the things to watch out in purchasing this car? Btw, Have they replaced the Dunlop tires? Thanks!!!
#53 of 65 Price Paid vs. Buying Expirence by finzup Jul 14, 2008 (8:25 am)
I have been in the business of managing and selling cars on the internet for many years. One trend that has always held true is that customers that paid MSRP vs. under invoice always gave the best surveys. I always wondered why. Then I sat down and figured it out. The ones that paid MSRP never felt they got a bad deal. They loved the buying experience, it was hassle free. Then I thought about the ones that paid under invoice (w/o the rebate). That person still felt they did not get a fair deal. That is also the same person that is more likely to give a poor survey, even though the dealer did their best to try to satisfy them.   It's interesting, on an ES Lancer, selling the car for $700 under invoice is a loss to the dealer. Hold back only averages $340. Anything is more than $400 under invoice is a great deal to the consumer, and not so for the dealer. Those figures are not including the rebate for the 2008's.   Just something to think about. Replies to this message: jeffyscott (Jul 14, 2008 10:20 am)
