| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 260-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD | . |
| 2011 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 260-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD | Dealer had excellent pricing (>20% off list) at year-end closeout. |
| 2008 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD | We were offered a good deal on a 2008 van. In fact, it was cheaper than older Hondas and Toyotas. |
| 2004 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD | I could get one for basically invoice price. |

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the Mitsubishi Lancer
| Price of the Mitsubishi Lancer: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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. |

| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 152-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
It feels like a solid car. I have only had one thing wrong with it, and that was the fuel pump getting stuck. It was replaced under warranty though. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Its rattles have rattles. And those rattles have buzzes. It sounds like the interior is going to self destruct under low RPM. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
the plastic trim pieces around the doors and the arm rest area look and feel cheap but then again the car is pretty cheap to start with. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Well that is the same thing as relibility |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 291hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual AWD |
Not bad, better than my last Dodge but could be better still. |
