hey what do u guys think a dealer would give for a 04 ra with 59k miles.
i was wondering cause im starting to like even more the looks of the new lancers.
and ive never owned a brand new car being that im 19.
and the DE's are wat $12k.
dont think im going to do it, and if i would it wouldnt be till at least the end of next winter. and theres no way i could afford the new ra when they come out.

what would u guys do/ what are your thoughts

 

I'd stick with the RA, a better car imo

 

ya and faster but, i donno. just was thinking a brand new car would be nice. i should go test drive one one day

 

keep the ra until you can afford something you're gonna be really happy with (like an evo )

 

ya i can afford one in about 20 years ha

 

well im gonna go test drive the new lancers when they arrive here
but im gonna hold out for a new RA, or a second hand evo

 

I would say you'd get around $8-$9k on a trade-in.

Seriously, the tools are there for you...we have no way of appraising your trade.

 

And when you run KBB or something similar, just know that your car is in fact NOT in excellent condition... Less than 10% of trade-ins will get an excellent trade in price, so go for the next lowest score to know what a dealer will actually give you...

 

Mine has 27,000 miles, good condition trade-in is $9,860... You are gonna have a little less $ to work with here...

 

mitsu said theyd give me 10 for mine and i have 47k miles on it

 

save your money for new RA or evo, either will be better than 08 lancer and worth the wait imo

 

my 05 RA w/ 31k, trade-in is 10,695 in good condition(of course mine isnt in good condition right now )

 

Even though I like the new body style, I checked out a new lancer inside and out. Its definitely a trade down, not as much as the older 2.0 L lancers but still a trade down nonetheless. Seats are pretty much the same in the new lancer, no manual. Interior isn't that much nicer, in fact, its missing a few of the options that the ralliart has. And lets not forget softer suspension and less horsepower. And I'm going to pay how much more for that? On paper its a horrible deal and I think you'd enjoy the car less.

 

I wouldnt trade my r/a in for another mitsu unless it was an evo or new ralliart
