Potential Ralliart Lancer owner from Perth

[allophylus]

Hi all, I am new to ClubCJ. Was a owner of Civic sports since 2 years ago and decided to upgrade recently.

I have been reading up about the Lancer Ralliart and negotiating a deal with 2 dealers in Perth. Still waiting for the final quotes.

Fingers cross, I might be a the next proud owner of the Ralliart Lancer before the end of this financial year.

Btw, anyone from Western Australia can share the price they drove away one?

[allophylus]

I indeed have a few question aboutt he specification of the Ralliart Lancer. I will search around before I post my first question on the forum.

[tadz0rz]

Currently the best quote I got is $17500 with my Civic Sports 07 trade in ($22000). I was trying to get the changeover down to $15000 but from the dealer response it doesn't sound like it is possible.

I know being live in Perth ~$39500 drive away is already a good price, but you think I can still push the price lower? Anyone?

Hey man welcome to ClubCJ.

That is a very good price a bit less then what I paid for mine, but people have been saying you can get one for around the 38k mark but I am pretty sure that is only for ex-demos.

Also, you may want to consider selling your Civic privately, you will almost always get more then what the dealer is offering. This is what I did and got an extra 1k. It all depends on how much hassle you are willing to go through.

In the end no matter what you pay you will still love the car, I think the car is worth 50k and if Mitsubishi was selling them for that I still would have bought it.

[allophylus]

Yup. Just signed the dotted lines.

They actually written down as $24,000 trade in and the retail price of 41,499.99. Still $17,500 - 1c change over. I thought of trying to sell the Civic privately and get at least $2k extra, but with the way they put it down, even if I managed to sell the Civic for 25k with all the hassles, its only going to be $1K saving.

Delivery is 2 weeks so I should be a proud owner of Ralliart Lancer by the end of this month.

Congratulations man, make sure you post up some pics when you get her home. What colour did you get?

[allophylus]

I got a choice of red or blue. I went for red.

[Mitsiman]

They are a great car, and there is a huge amount of products becoming available for them because of the price range there in. We are already seeing customers coming to us for retuning of the stock ecu's and getting 30 - 40hp gains on stock setups.

These are going to be a very popular vehicle.

Maaaaaaaate, You should have gone for the Lightening Blue. LOL

The Red used in the Lancer range is bloody terrible, looks a diff colour in diff light conditions. Has a pinkish hue under bright sun and a deeper red on overcast days.

My previous 2 Mitsu cars, a Cordia Turbo and an Eclipse Turbo(USA) were both a deep, real red,similar to a fire engine and non mettalic/pearlescent too.

I ummmed and ahhhed for days over the 2 but just couldnt do this so called red . It's more a very poor mans maroon.

So long as you like it,you have to live with it.

Welcome to the Club Mate. A lot of great guys/gals and great info here.
