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.

2011 4dr SUV 171-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed automatic AWD		 Lowest
2009 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic AWD		 My price paid was much smaller than Toyota and Honda similar models I researched.
2008 4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 The price was within budget
2008 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic AWD		 Compared to Honda, Toyota and GM, much more "bang for the buck"!
2007 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 lower than the mazda
2007 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 Reasonable price for 1 year old lease return
2007 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT AWD		 Not much. Pricey for what you get.
2006 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT AWD		 Part of the deal was getting top dollar on my trade in.
2006 4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 At my purchase price of $15800 I think my Escape is an unmatched value.
2002 4dr SUV 127-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual AWD		 Bought vehicle with low interest. And price of 19,600 was very reasonable. Especially by SUV standards
Price of the Ford Escape: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 Hybrid was quite a premium over the V6.
2007 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 It is not economical when comparing standard engine vs. hybrid engine. You have to do it because you want a hybrid for the environment. However, it is 10K cheeper than Toyota Highlander Hybrid, but it is a lighter car too. Tow capacity is 1000 vs 3000.
2006 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT AWD		 As a hybrid, expect to pay a premium price.
