Speaking of paying for a Lancer, if anyone is on the fence and was thinking about doing No Payments for a Year and Never Pay Interest, I guarantee you only have until 1/31 to take advantage of it. That program as structured is going away.

If you want to make your payments starting right away and your credit is less than perfect, you have until 1/31. Until tomorrow Double Diamond approvals get the same rates as Triple Diamond approvals.

If you want to lease, wait for a couple of days.

That is all.

 

Purchased 10-11-01, 2002 OZ rally, no spoiler, for $21,000 total (including tax, tag, title) out the door price. got 6.8% apr for 60 months. Put a $500 downpayment at purchase, monthly payments are $350. Also got extended warranty. In my opinion, I got horse ****ed in the deal. I wouldnt pay more than 17k total for that car. Good luck, don't let them screw you

 

OK, how upside-down were you on your trade?

 

I'd say "OUCH" to that too...how the hell did you agree to that?

 

well... i drove my 2003 OZ off the lot for 16,595 tax, title, and tags

 

it really boils down to your credit rating and how much you put down

 

WELL MY ES WAS 15580 BEFORE AL THAT STUFF AND 5.9 INTRES AND I'M IN VIRGINIA WHERE EVERYTHING COST AN ARM AND A LEG BUT IT A NICE CAR ND FUN TO DRIVE AND FUN TO HOOK UP I HAVE ALREADY PUT 500 IN TO IT AND I'M STILL NOT DONE SO JUST GET IT AND ENJOY LIFE WHILE YO CAN

HOLLA

 

Y'all are payin too much...buy a used one with a couple thousand miles for THOUSANDS less. I got mine for 6500 and look at all the money left over for goodies!

 

well, i was a first time buyer, didnt have any experience. didnt know what i was doin, and remember this was when it FIRST came out, mine had just got on the lot that day, they didnt even have the stickers on it yet. it was still in the back of the dealership waiting to be tagged and stuff. but it all wont matter when i sell it for an RX-8

 

i take it youre not happy with your lancer then...dont want to get the '04?

 

hell no...no more lancer for me. im selling it for either an is300 or rx8 in a couple of years

 

how come? im only asking cause im seriously thinking of getting the '04 when it hopefully comes out this fall...

 

i dont like the lancer as much as other cars, its too weak for me, plus mines an auto, no fun and ive been wanted an is300 or rx8 for a while. i dont know much about the 04 lancer but im sure it wont be much different from the current one.

 

As pjal said..."The Mirage has been phased out and the Lancer is/will be taking its place at the bottom rung of the Mitsu product line. " not a real fan of the lancer anymore

 

yeah, i remember reading that too. im just curious to see what the '04's gonna offer us. i hate waiting for info
