Massachusetts Mitsubishi Car Dealers

Wondering what people are paying (under/over invoice) for new XLS in CT or MA. There are still quite a few 08's around.

I have a quote from a MA dealer of $20,000 for a 2007 Endeavor with AWD, they are desperate to get these off the lot and are not even ordering any 09's until the gas prices drop. I am considering a better offer of $15,000 (with my 04 Endeavor trade in) for an 08 Endeavor AWD SE with all the options. If you look hard and find a desperate dealer you can practically steal these cars!

Was at my MA dealer getting minor service, salesman quoted me $22,500 on eiher of two new 2007 Endeavors in stock, probably base models with few options. After haggling, maybe $20K or $21K? Seem like a great bargain. BTW, my loaded 2004 4WD top of the line Endeavorl has been a great vehicle. Now with 52K miles, only significant problem has been a whistling driveshaft repaired under warranty. This time in the exhaust heat shield was rattling, only the second problem, and fixed for $45. Recently, one set of brakes, one set of new Bridgestones, new floor mats. So amazing reliability. Our 2004 Toyota Sienna, comparably equipped top-of-line, has been in the shop repeatedly. Recently has broken seat heater element ($900 to fix!), broken rear window shade ($400 to fix!), howling run-flat tires ($1100 to replace for 15K life expectancy before they become too noisy to tolerate!), dislodged electric mirror control (the only cheap repair). A typical year's worth of bugaboos, but is now ex-warranty. Reminds me a bit of my old Mercedes S-class -- $2000 every six months to keep running. Versus the 4WD Sienna, Endeavor rides better, handles much better, has more punch, is more reliable, has a better transmission (Sienna gets confused downshifting sometimes and lurches hard), better cruise control, better stereo, and is considerably more roomy in both seat rows (and is much roomier and more comfortable than all other SUVs except maybe big Fords which it matches). Only places it loses vs. Sienna are harder interior plastics and less refied V6. With the Sienna as second car, we have never needed the third row seat. So Endeavor has been a geat value!

You might find some aggressive pricing in the Boston MA area, if you wish to travel further south. Also, why not upstate NY? You share a common border there as well. Syracuse area, or Buffalo area. Go to the Mitsubishi USA website. I would suspect more aggressive pricing would be found towards Boston. More competition there.

First of all, the added extra's are what the dealer wants you to buy ( absurdly high profit margins ) and this is their way of forcing you to do so. This may, at times, work on very high demand vehicles, but this is no where that case and there is NO need to purchase ANY of the add-on's and quote frankly, at any price, they are a waste of money. I would not pay anything close to invoice, especially in today's market. Make it simple, you take control and should the dealer call you, don't return their calls immediately. You mention that you live in RI, so here are a couple of ideas..Call Boch Mitsubishi (Norwood) and ask to speak to the sales manager and tell him/her exactly what you want ( be prepared and unemotional ) and let the sales mgr know you are willing to buy today and you want their most competitive, Best and Final, price. Make certain you are buying new, know what mileage is on the SUV ( could be a demo ), make sure it is the color & config you want and, most importantly, make sure you understand pricing before you go to the dealer to close the deal( ie. does price assume you get rebate or dealer ). Do not get caught up in responding to "what price do I need to beat". I purchased my XLS AWD from Herb Connolly Mitsu in Natick, MA. Whoever you call, do not mention that you have a trade until you get there and, if asked, let them know at this point you only want their most aggressive buy price - without trade. End of month purchases have some influence, but not as much as end of quarter. If you are a serious buyer, then I think you can leverage end of month today and get your best deal. Good luck and keep us posted! By the way, we are truly enjoying our Endeavor. Dan
