I was looking at a Lancer Ralliart...and I have a few questions:

1. How many of you like your Ralliarts?
2. Which options DON'T I need?
3. What is the best price you have found yours for? I know they retail fully loaded for $21,000 or so, but I know the sticker is way under that...and there is no way in hell when my friend bought a brand new '04 for $16,000 that I will pay that much.

 

my friend bought a brand new 05 ralliart for 16,000 out the door.

 

Damn where from? What city/state etc? I am only looking now...I would have to wrap in 3000 from the car I am paying off now, so, I just wanted to see.

 

The Ralliart is a damn fun little car. It comes standard with pretty much everything you could want. If you have the mad bargaining skillz, and can get one for the crazy low prices I keep reading that people pay (I certainly paid more!!) I say snag one ASAP!

 

1. I like mine. Good car for the price.

2. Only options are Sun & Sound Package (sunroof & Infinity + sub system) $1500.
-if you're not going aftermarket stereo, and want a sun roof, this isn't a bad deal.

3. 2004 in San Diego for $18,900 out the door with S&S. Prob can get cheaper then that in other states.

 

i bought mine for 16000, came with a sht load of stuff also.

Options you don't need? Sun & Sound and side air bags. If you don't really need a sun roof, you can save a nice ammount up front by not taking the S&S package. You will still have the option of upgrading your audio setup with aftermarket components later. Just know that you can't get the side air bags without choosing the S&S first though... unless they changed that policy since I bought mine.

What i did was i told the dealer what i wanted my payments to be.This kinda eliminated the price haggling.When the first dealer couldnt come up with the payment i wanted i told him i was going to his competitors an i called all of them.they all came in with there bids an i called them all back with the best one i got then they will either come down or not but they were all singing a diff tune when i had them all bunched up lol.It is a very fun car to drive an i dnt think u need the sun an sound because u can stick aftermarket boom in there for much cheaper.When i got the best bid i told em i wanted a sunroof in it an they sent it off an added a little on to my payments.ALL I GOTTA SAY IS MAKE ALL THE DEALERS IN UR AREA COMPETE.that is the key.an tell them you are buying today they get back to u a lot quicker lol. good luck

You're lucky there's actually more than one dealer in your area...

yeah for real, I live in New York and I' shopped in Maryland for mine. Got mine off a guy that returned it after a 2 year lease for around 13,500

 

1. Love my Ralliart!!!
2. I left out the S&S package (sunroof & sub in trunk) everything else is standard really
3. I got my 04 Auto w/o S&S package for $18K out the door in May of 04

 

I would get it with the Sun&Sound. The Infinity system ais very nice and the side air bags save you money on car insurance. Do it.

 

I didn't feel like the sun&sound was worth the extra money. Its essentially the same stereo and speakers but you get a subwoofer and sunroof for $1500. I didn't personally feel like it was worth it but those features could be important to alot of people.

I do love my RA btw. I thought about it, If I had the money to do it over again, there's no other car I would get for the money, and thats the 100% truth.

 

i think the woofers and tweeters are Infinity as well. They are not the same speakers because they sound significantly clearer in the upper range then stock.

 

all of the speakers are infinity...when i had my stereo installed they also put infinity crossovers in there and i asked them to open the door panel to see if there infinity and yes they were.
