Traction/Stability control by shivarajv
Aug 02, 2008 (12:51 pm)

I recently saw on edmunds.com that among the trims available, there are 2 listing for the 2009 Lancer GTS
- GTS
- GTS N/A 07/08
 
http://www.edmunds.com/mitsubishi/lancer/2009/index.html
When you compare both these models on edmunds, you find that in addition to the usual stuff the former has optional traction/stability control (exactly wat the edmunds review says the Lancer's lacks !). Is this a newer version/release ?
Has anyone been able to lay their hands on one and if yes, do you find any difference.
Pls comment

That socket is unswitched, meaning you can leave your cellphone charging, even when the car is off. So yes, it's for chargning...

Hi again Shivaraj.
 
Haven't tried the 07 or 08 models. One big difference to the 09 is engine size (upgraded from 2.0 to 2.4).
 
Regards,
Kai

Hi again.
 
Yeah, you may say it's a letdown, but my question to you (and be honest to yourself): how many CD'd would be enough for you?. I already have about 70. If you average 1 hour music per CD, well, do the maths...
I haven't checked how full my HDD is, I just know that in between Sirius and the HDD, I have enough stuff in there to drive all the way to Seattle without having to listen to something twice, and I live in Florida...
 
Are there other systems? Yes, but not integrated as in the Lancer (GPS, MusicServer, Phone and Contacts, Maintenance book, Calendar, etc. etc., all fitting neatly in you dash).
If you don't have the need for the Navigation part, i.e. you have a dash mounted unit, well then it should be able to remove the Navi program from the HDD, and voi la, have all HDD available for music. This, however, I don't think any John Doe dealer would know how to do it. For this I would get in touch with Mitsubishi Corporate...
 
Cheers,
Kai

GTS price by shivarajv

Hi,
 
I plan on buying the 09 GTS with nav,sun&sound. I used the build&price tool on http://www.mitsubishicars.com and the pkg comes to 23,465. But my dealer says the price he will give it to me at is 27,140. When I asked him abt the difference, he says tax, title and licence would account for the extra 4k. Is he bullshitting me ..?
Is the price on the edmunds site inclusive of tax .. has anyone used it and encountered a similar scenario... please comment !

i guess a better question would be what are the valid things that the dealer will charge me for on top of MSRP

$27K?!?!? That's BS IMHO.
As I mentioned earlier, mine is a 09 GTS M/T, fully loaded. It came OTD for $23.5k, including two additional insurances, one for wheal and one for bumper-to-bumper extension.
One thing: if you're planning to finance it, DO NOT DO IT THROUGH DEALERS!!!
My friendly advice: fincance it through a Credit Union. I put $12k down, to reduce my remaining monthly payment. So I financed $11.5, five years, with an APR of 6.9% through my C.U. My monthly pay is $226.
Good luck

Yes that sounds a bit high for what you described...you should be able to lower the price. Go to another Mitsu dealer if you have to (or at least tell your salesman you will..he'll negotiate). I was able to finance my 2009 Lancer through the dealer at a great rate. I put $2500 down, $1000 trade and got a four year payment plan at 3.9%. A five year plan would have been 4.9%. If you have good credit, they'll offer you a competitive rate.

08 honda civic vs 09 lancer es auto by steven39

went to look at a 09 lancer ES auto at my local mitsubishi dealer today..after sitting in the lancer for a little bit i felt that the lancer felt cheap and inferior in my opinion..but i guess that's to be expected going from a honda to a mitsubishi..makes me appreciate my honda's strong build quality....
