What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Mitsubishi Lancer

Price of the Mitsubishi Lancer: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 Was a little higher than I wanted but got the Price to where I could go new rather than used. Payments at $200 mo.
2010 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 Thousands less than other cars I looked at with comparable features. Was interested in a car with paddle shifting. Looked at Acura TSX, Lexus IS 250, Mazda 6 and others. Got car for under dealer invoice.
2009 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 Good price for gts with navi 23800 sticker payed 21000 less 1000 rebate
2009 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 Good, got it for 2.5k under MSRP.
2008 4dr Sedan 152-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 I paid $19,500 for a fully loaded Lancer GTS - easily beating what that could have cost me in a fully-loaded Civic (with less features).
2005 4dr Sedan 120-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 It had 0% for 5 years and I liked that.
Price of the Mitsubishi Lancer: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan 152-horsepower 2.0L I4
CVT FWD		 At the time Aug. 2009 I paid out the door $30,500 canadian, no flexibility in price negotiations but to be fair it was new to Canada.
2008 4dr Sedan turbocharged 291hp 2.0L I4
5-speed manual AWD		 Nothing, but would of bought instead if I knew they were going to offer 0% financing a month later.

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Nissan Pathfinder

Price of the Nissan Pathfinder: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 310-horsepower 5.6L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD w/low range		 Nissan had a great lease offer for V8 SE models and the payments were less than what the competition was offering.
2006 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic RWD		 We where able to deal a $34,000 pathfinder down to $26,500. with 4.0% interest. GREAT DEAL!
2006 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 The Pathy runs about 10% cheaper than the Toyota ForeRunner, which is an excellent vehicle, but comes at a premium price. I think the PF runs 99% of the Toyota longevity, and about 95% of the fit and finish. This makes it a better buy in my eye
2005 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 Was less than a 4Runner.
2001 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed automatic RWD		 Theres not another SUV in its price range that has the power, features, and quality that the Pathfinder offers. In my opinion is superior to the Toyota 4Runner in every possible way while being a little cheaper.
Price of the Nissan Pathfinder: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2003 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 As it is an import SUV, you will pay more than comparable domestic SUVs. However, the reliability of the Pathfinder should more than make up for it.
