GroundZero

very nice!...im waitin for the evo or the ralliart turbo

gtaylor
thats sweet bra

the new lancers look 534156X better than the old ones IMO.

5spd or paddle shift?

EK9Hatch
Looks really good! I really like the color! :thumbup:

I like the body but I hate the dash on them. Why in the fuck do car makers that market their cars to tuners make the radios so fucking hard to replace. I mean the civic and the lancer are both geared to people who modify their cars (as well as others) yet they make them hard to modify, what fucking sense does that make. BTW I REALLY like the color on that body, it looks real sharp

GroundZero
thanks guys, i got the 5 speed, the paddle shift can not handle mods (turbo) which i plan on doing. And only the sun and sound package you cant change the head unit because its 6 disk, if you go without the sun and sound its just as easy as any other car

Im very happy to hear that, as i have a customer with one that wants a different deck but he has that integrated bs in it. Is it just a different bezel that could be bought and swapped out?

The front end is a HUGE improvement over the previous generation.

Nice looking car man.

The new Lancers are a huge improvement. Alot bigger though it seems?

elementfd
the whole car is a HUGE imporvment

Hate to ask the crude question, you can ignore if you like.

How much was it OUT THE DOOR? I've heard they are selling super base models for 15K?? Is that right?

Anything you dislike about it?

GroundZero
out the door i paid $27800, which was the GTS with the sun and sound package. And i paid cash and no discount. They wouldnt budge on the price at all they pretty much said "if you dont buy someone else will" and they were right. they wouldnt even throw in lock nuts for my rims or take off the 400 finance fee even though i paid cash. But to be honest it was more then worth it i LOVE the car and it handles like its on rails and i get looks everywhere i go

Sxn
good price for a brand new car.
but you shouldn't have paid that 400 dollar finance fee.
congrats on ur new ride.

SilviaDrifter
wow what a nice car
cant wait to see what the evo will look like in person

rythex
That thing is begging to be lowered 1.5"

GQsmooth
looks good, but I hate how the tailights look pinkish..

crazyrx7
Did they know how much the new evo is going to cost? I'm sure they are going to mark that one up nicely like 10 grand over msrp.

R.K.

rythex
It better not be any more expensive than the STI..

GroundZero
well my GTS was 28 so i would assume the EVO to be over 40?

Invalid Zero
Guaranteed all the asshole dealers will be marking EVO's up well over 50k.

WorkInProgress
sexy

isnt there a law that prevents them from marking up prices from MSRP? i know theres one in the states to prevent gouging. then again, they can always register/insure it for a day and put it on the used lot for however much they want.

ehos
That's why it's called the SUGGESTED price. They can jack it to whatever they want. The market will set the price if it doesn't sell.

Remember when the new Eclipses came out, what a jack. Especially Canadian dealerships. I was shocked at the markup Westside and Southside were charging. Insane!

Sorry to say, the new Lancers are jacked up again. Fucking stealerships.

Take some interior shots!

I wouldnt really say they are jacked up. I admit they were kind of asshole about me paying a financing fee when i paid cash but over-all i think the car was worth what i paid for it. I love driving it and the amount of options it has is great. Its 1000 times what the old style lancers were so i dont really think its that bad.

2ndgenlude
as soon as a dealership pulled the if you won't buy it someone else will line, i would walk out. no need for that. especially if i was paying cash.

Ditto.. There not doing you any favour.. They shouldn't act like it.. Without us they don't exist.. Without them.. We still have the manufacture.

Just need a nice set of summer rims and you're ready to go.

Yep your right on this one, mitsu loves to mark up on new models. I got the old rub and no tug from them when I bought my eclipse right when they were released. I probably would have saved near $5000 if I waited but damn I wanted it then lol.


peace

The way they get around that is by adding dealer installed extras, like a "$3000" alarm system, and shit like that.

RangerMan

and the side from the TL






car still looks good man, same price i paid for my 2004 EL

tho_chi
car looks nice, just time for some new summer rims and your set..:)

1mns13
looks good, I like the red over the blue. The new lancer has grown which I like. Have you had it to the street legal drags yet to get some baseline numbers?

kayin
shiet...that thing has nice body lines! pretty good price too for a new car!

reminds me of a baby TL mixed with a mazda6
Congrats on the buy:thumbup:

too.forty
very very nice lancer, the appearance on it has mcuh been inproved from last models. Loving it.

Chrome lip/Black rims would look sick on that.

It does defiantly look like the TL from the side. The lancer looks pretty good man!:thumbup:

GroundZero

SkiTLz
Man that looks sick.. Might actually go test drive one too see what there like..

o2thag
Those are photoshops of the EVO X, not the 08 lancer.

GroundZero

schmitty
Best of the lancers

Congrats with the buy :thumbup:

They want you to pay more just to be "the first on one the block."

Fazda

Yup, marked up over $7500 RETAIL. (That's not even wholesale, or dealer costs, thats' retail to retail comparison!)

Jack and a half.

ChromeDragon
Place your order at a dealer just across the border then. Something tells me the interest won't be so huge in Bugsville, Montana.
