I just spent over an hour calling dealerships for quotes and the best one i got for a black GTS automatic is $18,500 with everything or almost everything(sun roof, sound system, and gps).

How much did u guys spend on yours? Just wanna know if its a good deal before I buy the car this saturday. I'm in southern cali if that helps.

Hey guys, since I'm a tuner I love going online and seeing what stores are offering for the '08 Lancer, I haven't found much but here is what I've found, if you have any other stores let us know! default/beer.gif' 'beer.gif' />

Hey guys, created this to see all your lancer's mods. Post some pics so I can get more ideas.

I've made some subtle changes to mine (non of which will make the car faster), still waiting to get the RRM intake, and a set of winter tires and umm.. maybe some tint.

mods:

1. 6000k HID Kit for low beams.
2. Clear license plate covers
3. White interior...

d4mn, I almost got a heart attack yesterday.
My last car was a Civic with one way insurance $500/year.
Yesterday I walk in to Allstate and a Polish lady kills me with a $1560/year on a lancer full coverage. I almost jumped out of the chair.

hey when is the new ralliart coming out and how much will they cost? im jw b/c i am thinking it would be smart to trade in my ES model for a ralliart when they come in

Ok, so I've been a member of the forums for a few months now. Joined so I could do some homework on the new lancer. I have since test drove 7 cars and have decided that the new lancer beats them all. I have settled on getting the '09 Lancer GTS (yes with the 2.4 liter engine) in a manual transmission. Since I have been lurking the forums, I have noticed that there are some issues with...

During full acceleration the steering may pull to one side, has this ever happened to anyone of you with your 2008 Lancer?

I want to hear from people with more experience driving this car since I'm new with cars motors and performance, and before taking the car to the dealer for an inspection.

Bye

here are some links to help you answers to all the warranty questions you might have







All new posts about warranty will be deleted!...

Just wondering what problems you all might have had with your Lancers so far? I've had the no start problem...still have it on occasion. The biggest ptoblem I have is the **** trunk leaks and the dealer sucks so it's up to me to fix. I can't seem to find it though, need to get a small person to lay in trunk so I can close it and hit it with water ...

Alright guys this is something new I am trying. Like the title says its a contest that will be voted on by your peers on this forum.

Follow the link read the instructions and I'll do the rest.

I hope to see all of you participate.

More important, we have the forum divided into subforums which are there to sort the topics into categories which in turn should be easier to browse and find answers etc.

Unfortunately, in Canada, we don't get the navigation option and are required to buy a portable GPS device if we want one in the car.

I bought a Garmin Nuvi 250 just last week and it works great!

However, I changed the area where I install my GPS like 3 times in less than 4 days because I was never satisfied.

If I installed in on the right side (near the...

i bought two small LED's to light up the area where the controls are on the door for windows and such, since there was none. I wired into the battery, therefore, its running 24/7 would that be a problem or should i wire it through a switch, thank you. in addition was watt or volt switch i bought one and had issues. thanks

I just got my car today. When I picked up the car, I was driving alone and I notice that there's a light that indicate the "Passenger Airbag Off". I was just wondering if this is normal.

I edited the picture posted by Nathan0490 since his picture also shows the light is on.

DO NOT BUY THE NEW LANCER!!!

The car is great if you like the paint to fly off of your brand new car. I bought a black 2008 Lancer GTS. I drove the car for 50 minutes on sanded roads during a recent snow storm. I ended up with Hundreds of rock chips along both sides of the car. Mostly next to the rear wheels. The car looks as if it has been sandblasted.

So I was on my way to work this morning and suddenly my car sputtered and the service engine soon light came on. I was about 8 miles from my house so I turned around and headed home. When I stepped on the gas to turn around the car kind of sputtered again and didn't want to do anything I turned it off and let it sit a minute then started it back up. I was able to drive home by doing about 45...

Yep. I was on my way home from the Union Station in downtown Chicago because my girlfriend and her family needed a ride home. So, after picking them up, I head out and set my course for the infamous Lake Shore Drive heading northbound. About a mile or two in, just after the Michigan Ave exit, I pull into the leftmost lane and cruise it out all the way to the end (for those of you who don't...

Ok, i own a fairly new Lancer ES 2008...done a little over 5000Km.

2 things have been happening since i got it. I mentioned them at the 1500Km free service but they couldn't reproduce them.

1. The CD Player seems to make a repeating high pitch noise when volume is 30+. Seems to be more common with MP3 CDs but happens on normal CDs too. Haven't heard it on the radio,...

Hi, I just wonder, how much you guys get for a gas mileage. I bought car in Canada, drive in Toronto, my current gas economy is like 15L/100km,
my dealer just told me that its OK!!!, but when I was buying my car they swear to god that it will not pass 10L/100KM, and they not going to do anything about that. So I would like to know your opinion and your experience ...

Well, I have decide that I am going to make a Youtube channel for everyone's Lancer (or Evos) on all the Mitsubishi/Lancer forums. Just PM if you have a video of your car, preferable a Lancer, that you would like on the channel.

If you have a Youtube account I would appreciate it if you would subscribe to the account to see the rides!

In late 2005 I started conducting my own reliability research. I'm reporting absolute stats like "times in the shop" that will make the differences between cars much clearer. Relative ratings obscure too much--how large is the difference between "better than average" and "worse than average"? I’ll also be updating results four times a year, so there will be...

Seriously I really don't. How would I go about removing the condensation and preventing it from ever returning?

Ok! I want to get rid of the seat belt chime. I understand how to connect the two metal parts to trick the system. The question I have is how to take apart the seat belt plastic I cant figure it out. Please dont post about how seat belts save life ect... Its a simple question all I need is a simple answer.

Today I pulled 525 miles out of my 08 Lancer ES. I commute 100 miles round trip daily..so you can see why speed isn't my concern. Rather, I baby the gas, and ALWAYS use cruise control. I go about 55-65 mph the whole time also. It averaged out to be a bit over 38 mpg (I calculated that after I filled up at the gas station, I didn't rely on the computer). I filled up with about 13.8...

I have been having a lot of problems trying to get this site to open up on my browser. Happens several times a day. It will take up to about 3 minutes for the page to open up.
Even after I reply to something & click submit....it still takes a long time for the page to respond.
I can open up any other site very quickly, but not this one.

I have Comcast broadband.

Do they only come in the dark smoke or does someone carry the light tint?

Any help with links & prices is always appreciated.

I have always wanted an evo and here comes the evo x. However with an MRSP of $42K and up I am not sure if I would buy one. How many of you would get an evo at $42K instead of a 350z at $35k? I have to be honest, as much as I love the evo and have always wanted one, I would have to get the 350z.
