EDIT: im in chicago btw.

 

got mines for 18000 wit no interest for 36 months and mines was an auto...got it in dec of 01

edit: forgot to say 18000 out the door

 

mine..
California,
Automatic,
OZ rally+spoiler,
got it July 02,
All down in cash,
out to door price(include tax and license),
$17650,
imo...still kinda expensive

 

My ES with keyless package was 14000.

 

i got my lancer ls for 15000 before they screwed me with tax

forgot.... im in maryland

 

Lancer Oz
KY
spoiler, pinstripe
15800 before tax, license, and intrest

 

2002 OZ got it in oct/nov 2001.. 17,000, closer to 18,000 after everything...and they didnt even have a wide choice of options either back then, i only got the spoiler and like 1 or 2 small things...i got screwed big time...i'm in the chicago area.

 

I got mine in July '02. I have an OZ with spoiler, alarm, and locking lugs and i got mine for 17,100 with the 0 0 0 deal. My dealer screwed me though. I signed for 16,600 but they pulled tis whole bull**** with me having to buy a 500 dollar alarm to get extra points for financing and **** and I was like fine.. whatever .. i just want the car, so I dunno.. i paid more than i wanted.

 

17,145 for 03 Black OZ 5 spd with spoliler and moonroof...thats before tax and all that othhr **** that rapes you so bad it makes you soar...

 

yellow oz rally.... w/ spoiler, 2 tone leather, RMR intake, RMR exhaust, RMR strut bar, LoJack, Wheel locks.... n one or two other small things fro like 17,800 (or something very closy) put 5,000 down and no intrest finance over 36 months ........baught it in june 02'

 

$18, 730 total.. not a good idea to buy a car as soon as it comes out.. you get no deal..

 

15,300 for OZ with spoiler, 16,900 i believe after tax and all those hidden fees. 0 down, 0 payments for a year, 0 interest.

a good rule of thumb is to find out the dealer invoice price (you can get this by doing a simple internet search), and going to your dealer and offering to pay no more than $300 over invoice. paying msrp, or over msrp, is not getting a good deal no matter what they tell you. with car dealers you can always haggle down, and try to get them to throw in an option for cheaper. but do your research first, especially on what THEY pay for the car/options. don't expect to walk out with something for nothing, but don't let them push higher prices on you. if they try to sell you something you don't need, or try to get you to pay more for something, refuse it, threaten to walk out, and more often than not they will lower the price. dealers want to make a sale all the time. if you don't like the deal they are giving you, walk out and go somewhere else.

 

my es with spoiler and tint came to about 15 and a half total.
I like griping and complaining. I had to go back to the dealership 3 times to get that price and spent at least 3 hours there each time.

this past weekend, I picked up a new kenwood 1000w amp for a whole 225 with no tax. wh00t. I'm going to shake my car apart.

 

There's only about $7-800 worth of markup on Lancer (depending on trim) so this shouldn't exactly be difficult. Go in, tell them you'll do $200 over invoice AND give 100% CSI (this is the really important part) and its a done deal.
