You can do better . The rebate benefits both . The dealer could give extra discount of $250 > $1,000 . May be more difficult to get a large discount ( $1,000 ) since Mitsubishi dealers are not as abundant as Toyota to compete for a better price . Best of luck and let us know how the purchase goes .
See this recent ad from a Mitsubishi dealer , http://mirageforum.com/forum/showthr...rice-of-13-665 (click on picture to enlarge ) . The ES should get more of a discount than the $335 from the dealer on a DE . $500 or greater would be reasonable for the ES . Good luck and keep us updated .
I always thought new cars in the USA were soooooo cheap. Very envious coming from the UK, where we now have a 20% sales tax. Just bought my Attrage GLS CVT in Thailand though and it's 500,000 baht here (with free insurance) = $15,000 US.
cars.com lists some ES at 11,999 - but you can see a disclaimer: "includes all available rebates" w/c some may not apply to me: i.e. military etc. etc.
