Well, I just called up my local dealer and they asked what I wanted to pay for a brand new X GSR with SSS. I said 30k and they said, to my surprise, ok!. Its quite obvious the car has been there for a while, and they also made it obvious that they are desperate and need to sell soon.

They also said they'd give me 19k for my Lancer which was even more than I thought I'd get. Lancers are really hard to find in my area because there isn't another mitsu dealer anywhere else for at least an hour drive. They also said they need my car because they always have people looking for 08+ Lancers.

I know its a pretty good deal considering the sticker is over 35k and they're giving me KBB value for my car, but do you guys think it'd be possible to get them down another grand or two? Or should I just take this deal and run?

 

Of course you should try to get a better price, the worst they could say is "no" then you can take the car for the 30k, but at least you tried and who knows, maybe they will give you a better price. good luck, and congratulations on your future ride

 

tell them 31k OTD.

 

make sure you double check the financing, they may be willing to give you the car cheap but they'll jack the APR up, unless of course you're providing the cash or have your own bank behind you.

 

Take it. 19K for a used lancer -AND- GSR SSS for 30K? That's thousands under MSRP. Take it.

Its almost guaranteed you will never ever again get an offer 19K for your current lancer.

 

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, they are going to honor the 0% APR for 5 years that is listed on mitsu's site.

 

Since they were so quick to take your initial offer, I get the feeling you might be able to squeeze another $1000 out of the deal. Give it a shot.

Plus, there's 0% financing for 60 months (if you qualify). So, with your trade, the good price and the 0%, you're getting a pretty good deal.

 

I would go there and talk to them...talk out the details and then right befor you agree, tell them your unsure about the whole thing and pretend you want to back out. I gurantee that they will do anything to make the sale happen. Just make sure you don't get screwed on the interest rate.

 

did he say yes over the phone? he might be just trying to get you into the dealership, if its true though should be a no brainer. its a win for you lose for them situation.

 

30k does sound a bit low. It may not really have SSS. If it's true, you're getting an amazing deal. Some dealers make these "mistakes" to get you into the dealership, as said earlier.

 

I'm jumping on a plane right now to go buy that, so you better beat me to it.

AND, YES you can likely get a better deal, the problem is having the ball-joints to ask for it now. Always start lower than you're willing to pay. People don't like it when you pull money off the table - even car dealer-people.

tell em you looked at your finances again and are REALLY REALLY worried about the economy - trust me ... SO ARE THEY !!!

If you do it, watch things REAL close, like the other posts have mentioned.

I would buy a IX in a heart beat (to go with my VIII) if I had the money right now

 

Yeah, I actually went down and took a look at the car. It had the HIDs, the Rockfords, the FAST key, and the bigger wing; Definitely an SSS. The dealer said its an 09 but I think he was full of it. AFAIK the 09s aren't even out yet, right? The sticker said 2008 but he was like "Oh that's probably just an old sticker". He was saying something about the dampening on the steering and that they made it tighter and more responsive in the 09's.

The 0% thing does seem like they could try to pull a fast one and switch it up on me a year into the loan or something, but you'd think they would know better after what happened with their 0-0-0 deal a few years back.

Anyways, I need to get my insurance figured out and make the decision by early next week. Hopefully I'll have some pics of my new X for you guys, if all goes well

 

Their 0% is for 60 months, it's clearly outlined. Just make sure it's going through Mitsubishi Financing, and not Joe's Credit Union where the 0% is a variable rate. :P

 

thats awesome dude

 

do it ayyyy
