Last Chance To Buy A Manual Transmission Outlander Sport

[inuvik]

I was perusing Pacific NW Mitsubishi dealers websites this morning and Bronco Mitsubishi in Idaho has FIVE (5) 2019 manual transmission Outlander Sports all priced the same for $14995. This would be even less than I paid which was $15749 which was a smokin' hot deal. If you've been on the fence don't wait, I can't imagine getting a lower price than this. Just a FYI.

That would make a great deal for someone. It's probably the same price you paid based on their fine-print disclaimer...

Bronco Markdowns can include any and all factory incentives, including, but not limited to...
owner loyalty
competitive rebates
military rebates
finance incentives
college grad rebates

So if you were in the military, you just graduated from college, you currently own a Mitsubishi product, and you finance through the dealer...you might end up paying that price.

Are you familiar with this place? Is it a good dealer?

They've been around for awhile. They are a mega dealer who moves a lot of volume. If I could buy one for $15749 with the economy red hot last June, I'm thinking that there is a lot of squish factor. 60% of something is better than 100% of nothing. When I bought mine the dealer nearly cried in joy. Nobody wants a manual transmission these days and they have 5.

Yeah...exactly. I'll keep an eye on those just in case!

This really irks me. Not only do they not specify WHAT discounts they are referring to but they refuse to put cost breakdowns in writing (if they do they just write "discount" and not the specific discounts). Then they will change the discount amounts based on what you tell them. Nowhere is it written down. Now if you tell them you don't qualify for it (or they just don't bring it up), then later tell them you want the extra discount on whatever price you get, they freak out like you committed some vast injustice for their price scams that they made in the first place. They typically just claim whatever discount you are asking for is already factored into their 'markdown' price.

They should be sued for false advertisement and anti-consumer practices.

Dealerships & car companies have created their own mess, & I let them sort through it.

I simply ask a dealership what their OTD (out-the-door price) is prior to walking through their doors. If they want to sell you a car, they will make sure each & every discount will apply to you. How they want to do their paperwork is up to them. I could really care less.

I have two different sets of paperwork for my Mirage. The first set had the wrong vin #. The salesman was at my kitchen table (with my Mirage in my driveway) when we discovered this, & his office is 4 hours away. He handed me the keys, & drove back home with his own vehicle (that was driven to my house by another employee). They sent me the correct paperwork via mail to sign. Very little matches between the two set of paperwork except the agreed upon OTD price. I can't even determine how they come up with the price of the car, & I don't really care. It's a mess they (Mitsubishi) & other companies have created.

I financed $10,000 (Ally 4% for 60 months) on Mirage to qualified for a $500 rebate. It's the only rebate I qualified for at the time. If my 2017 Mirage ES manual didn't have the armrest & Bluetooth added to it from the factory, I would have been paid to take the car that day. I know that may sound funny, but it is true! My brand new Mirage would have been less than $10,000 OTD for everything (& delivered to my home). Since the armrest & Bluetooth were added, I wrote a check for $153.70 that day. If those items weren't added, I would have received a check for financing the car with them.

Not all Mitsubishi dealerships are the same. By the way - I refinanced my Mirage as used 3 months later with my local credit union (used rate was 2.79% for 60 months), & it cost me $30 to refinance. I did it on my computer. I financed the car twice that way. Paid it off asap with no penalty.

Comparing Mirages at different dealerships was a nightmare. I just by-passed all that with one question. What is your OTD price of the vehicle?

Exactly. I did my entire deal over the phone and internet and only dealt with OTD price. I had a 10 hr drive each way to pick my OS and I already had a copy of the contract that I was going to sign. I compared them and I was satisfied and I literally spent less than 30 minutes at the dealer. No hassle, no games.

I wish I had the extra scratch to grab a spare. I absolutely love my 5 speed Outlander Sport.

I found some other "deals" out there on Outlander Sports. These are all CVTs...but look at these prices. Get an Outlander Sport for less than a Mirage?!?



Lots of fine print in that dealer's ads!!!

Me too, I've owned a lot of vehicles and it hands down is one of my all time favorites. A hoot to drive and amazingly fuel efficient. That 2.0 4B11 is so smooth running. Granted it's got zero torque but oh my goodness above 3500 rpm is when the fun starts.
