I just got approved for a loan today so my search for a lancer really started today also...

But wtf 90% of the lancers ive seen are autos! (will not get a auto) Are 5spds that rare or what? Or is it just a coincidence that around here there like all auto?

Sorry, I had to vent, lol

Thanks

 

IT was rough for me to pick up my manual in the color i wanted.

 

most are auto I do believe. When I bought mine new all they had on the lot was autos brand new. some used manuals but no color I wanted...... So I ended up with auto...... And that was in Virginia Beach, VA.

 

most of the cars in North america are autos. there are probly a higher number of manuals for more sportier cars cuz most ppl that buy sportier cars drive manual

 

here's why...economy car.

 

There were tons of manuals when I bought mine, but in Canada.

 

The OZs I looked at, when I bought my car, were manuals. Which models were you looking at?

 

What are you planning to use the car for? If your looking for straight line performance I would suggest sticking with the MK3 that is mentioned in your user name.

There are a lot of Manuals, infact out of the 50 Lancers I know (from meets and stuff) only 2 of them are manual.

 

Its not a sports car.........why would you want a manual?

 

some people just enjoy standards.

 

Yeah, I love manuals, couldnt see myself driving anything else.

As for sticking with the Supra, that is no an option as we are expecting our first child in July and need somthing bigger/4-doors. The lancer seems to be my best bet as it is still upgradable

Anyways, I think I have found the one, going to check it out on Friday.

2004 Lancer OZ
5 spd
24,763 miles

$10,044

 

Ohh I thought for MK3 you ment a Mark 3 VW Jetta or Golf. My bad.

Ya the Lancer is a good car for that sort of thing.

 

If you were to buy new, the dealer should be able to order what you want from another dealer if they really want your business.

I'm in the market for a new Ralliart and out of 3 Mitsu dealers in my area, no one even has one. The dealer I'm going to do business with said when I'm ready they will order (find) one from another dealer. I don't know how far they will go in their search, but whatever, as long as I get the one I want.

 

We also got ours last minute, at a kia dealership of all things. There were only three there. red, black (graphite or whatever), and I ferget, all auto's. But the deal was right for us so......

 

When I got mine, I wanted an Auto, and they dealer had to get it from another lot, all they had was manual, they had literally like 35 on the lot that were manual
