I'm thinking of getting a new 2012 or maybe 2013 Lancer (ES or GT) or Outlander sports.
Can you guys give me your 411 on how to make a purchase without getting jipped?
Can you guys give me pointers, hints, or what to do/what not to do, or how to get the best pricing(a estimated $$ figure would be nice) for my new car. I got 6 month - 1 year to make the purchase. Thanks a lot guys!

 

Also I'm in the Los Angeles California area, if that matters....

 

No one has any input at all?

 

6 -12 months is a broad window. If you can find a new 2012 when the 2013's are on the lot that would be the way to go. Aside from that you shop around.
Walk in, sit with someone and get pricing then most importantly leave, dont buy.

Far out but easy way, walk up to someone with such a vehicle, complement them on their car to swell their head a little, mention you are going to buy one today and ask where they got theirs and what they paid ?

Chances are you've never met the person before and will never see them again in your life so what do you care what they think if they gawk at you anyway.

P.S. That technique is also great for picking up women

 

Hahaha +1 on 2006R's suggestions! I do that too even if im not shopping for a new car!
