#51 of 65 Re: Window Tint [mbunting] by blu5092 May 16, 2008 (7:20 pm)
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)
#54 of 65 Fat, dumb, and happy by jeffyscott Jul 14, 2008 (10:20 am)
Replying to: finzup (Jul 14, 2008 8:25 am) I've noticed that the less intelligent among us are often happier. These people are more likely to pay MSRP and give a good survey. I guess this means that, if your goal is good survey results, you should target your marketing to the intellectually challenged population.   My sister, with an IQ of about 85, and her former husband who was not too bright either once, long ago, bought a new car. I think it was an Escort, they paid at least MSRP and bought many extras, such as over-priced disability insurance on the loan. They were happy and had no regrets.   I'm tired of being surveyed about everything, myself. I want to say: "yeah, I was happy with the service, buying experience, or whatever until you bugged me to tell you how I felt about it by answering 20 inane questions." .
#55 of 65 Mitsubishi Discounts to remember by mdics911 Jul 19, 2008 (10:37 am)
We purchased an 08 Lancer just a few months ago. Aside from a very nice car, I wanted to mention to discount programs that worked out well for us.   1) $500 college grad discount (even if you graduated 2 years ago) 2) $500 customer loyalty. (Anyone that you know that owns a Mitsu works)   Paying at invoice or a bit below is no problem at all. Replies to this message: jfritsch (Aug 04, 2008 8:09 am)

Replying to: mdics911 (Jul 19, 2008 10:37 am) Keep in mind, if kbb.com values an 07 es sedan auto msrp (08) 17500 with a trade in price used of about 11000. This is what your 17500 08 sedan will be worth in 12 months. Reviews note the 08 is an improvement but that usually doesn't change the trade in scenery much unless an earthshaking advance.   16000 sans tax and title is not a great deal for an 08 lancer es by any stretch of the imagination especially when the 08 mazda3 i touring value edition (msrp 18100) goes all day long in the mid 15000's around here and its 07 used version has a trade in of 13200. Mazda is generally rated higher making things worse. The mitsu warranty seems better but this is a $400-500 diff or less.   This is the problem with makes with few dealerships and there is nothing about the lancer sedan worth breaking a leg over. Make sure a 09 20000 msrp hyundai sonata can't be had in the 15000's (worth 11000 trade in in 24 months or so ), the 08 mazda3, and the 08 mazda6 i sport value edition sedan 4cyl msrp 21200 still lead their class and are available in the 15000-16000's.   An 08 17500 lancer is worth somewhere around 13xxx +ttl. An 09 perhaps in the high 15000's. Nothing worth paying up for here, in the mid range sedans. Unless big discounts go elsewhere. Evolution is exception if your cup of tea but that is $$.   good luck   --jjf
#57 of 65 purchased 09 lancer ES auto by steven39 Aug 31, 2008 (4:11 pm)
hi folks,just purchased a 09 lancer ES with the cvt for 17,100.00 msrp was 18,500 and this lancer has the bluetooth phone option as well as a chrome exhaust finisher and a rear deck spoiler which looks pretty neat on the rally red metalic paint..i traded in a 08 honda civic lx auto cuz we are haveing a baby and need the additional room as well as 4 doors..purchased the civic back in nov 07 and paid 17,500.00...dealer gave me 16,000.00 for my civic and sold me the lancer at invoice with those options that i described...so all in all i think i got a pretty sweet deal all around....one vw dealer offered me the black book value of 13,500.00 for my civic and i said take a hike...i think it's pretty incredible that one dealer can offer 13,500.00 and another offer 16,000.00....so basically it cost me 1,100.00 plus TTT to get into a 09 car...i can live with that.......

#59 of 65 purchased 09 lancer ES auto by steven39 Sep 01, 2008 (8:53 am)
hi sandman,i purchased the lancer at william lehman mitsubishi in north miami beach,fla over this labor day weekend...i specificly waited till the 31st to make a deal knowing that the end of the month is always the best time to purchase a car...that coupled with their labor day weekend sale really made for one sweet car purchase...as i mentioned in my earlier post i paid 17,500.00 for the new 08 civic lx auto back in nov 07... lehman mitsubishi gave me 16,000.00 for the civic and sold me the lancer at just over invoice...not bad and this does prove that hondas really do hold there value although we did need a larger and safer car with the lancer...
