Maine Mitsubishi Car Dealers

08 Lancer GTS fully loaded by teekster on Fri May 18 23:16:29 PDT 2007

I live in IL Chicagoland area. Just purchased an 08 Lancer GTS, fully loaded in electric blue for 22,243. Of course the dealership tried to sell it to me for sticker price, which I said there's no way in hell I'm paying. I don't believe I got a good deal, I got a fair deal. Included in the 22,243 was door guards, wheel locks, and scuff plates. The financing was 4.9% at 60 months, which I believe there is a special for until 5/31/07. I also had a trade in valued just over 5,100. After the trade in, I also was eligible for the 2 incentives bringing it down another 1,000. I just want everyone on here to know that Electric Blue is the most requested color out there. The salesperson flat out LIED TO ME. First he said they had 1 Electric Blue GTS at another location. After about 30 minutes of talking to his manager, he comes back and says Mitsubishi is having a problem with the blue paint chipping off and there won't be anymore blue Lancers until July. To top this off, he says that any other dealer would tell me this same exact thing. Next, he offers me a black or red GTS, which I said let me think about it. I pretended like I was on the phone with another dealership and just before I was going to tell him I would wait until July, he magically says they have one. Max Madsen Mitsubishi has poor salesmen. This guy spent more time in the manager's office than he did talking to me. It was annoying how they purposely extended the negotiation for no reason. On top of this, they had other salespersons acting as spies to try to hear pieces of conversation I was having with the person I brought with me. Be careful if you negotiate with them. This will probably be my second and LAST Mitsubishi I buy from them.

Re: Outlander 2007 in Canada [outlander2007] by dodo2 on Sat Nov 11 19:23:53 PST 2006

I've seen the Outlander's ad on TBS few times. The full list with the TV stations that would air the ad is at media.mitsubishicars.com. I don't think that the financing rate would be ridiculous. The highest rate they have in Canada on new models is 4.8% for 48 mo. I think someone in the States got 3.8% for 48 mo. Why would you pay $800 for RED? First it looks like it's not available in the US and second, Mitsu is not BMW. MITSUBISHI...I WANT A RED OUTLANDER !!!!.... CAN YOU HEAR ME?.... In regards to the Canadian pricing, I looked at the relative price of the Outlander compared to RAV4 in the US and I think the Outlander LS will be about 30-31K CAD and the XLS 32-33K CAD. I hope Mitsu will go closer to the min. in order to remain competitive with the Santa Fe as well. It also looks like Mitsu uses lower exchange than Toyota and Honda.
