Downside is, color is Desert Sand Metallic

Would you buy it?

id say no, thou the price is neither cheap nor expensive.
lets say u get it and went for a paint job for 2k
the biggest downside would still be the CVT

Fully loaded for under 18 grand and these guys are telling you not to take the deal? I'd take it in a heartbeat. Who cares if its a CVT, mine is too and its great. If you're looking for a Lancer, I think it would be a good deal.

The color is a rare one as well.

Just to give you some perspective, I purchased my Graphite Gray CVT '08 ES (not GTS) for $16,700 after I traded in my PRISTINE '95 Toyota 4Runner on it. I'd say you're getting a better deal than you think.

That sounds like a very good deal. Is it a 08 or 09 model?

probably a good deal, does it have Sun/Sound and Nav? Would probably hold resale fairly well given its a rare color and automatic so anyone could drive it...

Try and get them down another $500 or so then it would be a steal.

How many miles on it? (new as in 0-100 miles or new as in 500+ miles....)

It has the Sun/Sound and Navigation Packages. They are asking $17,988 after their summer sale rebate.

I don't think it has that many miles, if any on it.

Its def a good deal if your getting all the packages and new car with full warranty. The color is rare, I've only seen one or two other lancers that color. Would look very unique if you made some nice conservative mods. A quality tint job, maybe some bronze rims would look good...

That's what I thought, no wonder it is that cheap for a Lancer GTS.

I still think it's a good deal though if you're okay with the color.
