Need some advice or just opinions on buying a new car. I’m getting ready at the end of this month to buy a new car but every car I have ever bought has been outright. Right now I’m looking at a Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart 5 speed with “sun and sound” package right on the 20k mark. What other models should I be looking at? 16K is around where i need to be. A couple of the main reasons I’m looking at Mitsubishi is because of the 10yr 100k miles warranty, and because of the rebates and employee discount (know a guy who already has me set up) so after 2k off from rebate and about 2k from Emp discount It will be around 16,000.00. I take it there’s no bargaining room when using an employee Discount hu? Also what should I look out for and check out before I buy? Just looking for some opinions on anyone who has owned or knows someone with a lancer or suggestions on other cars I should be looking at.

P.S. Insurance is a big deal so that kind of pushes a few of the cars I would like out of my range.
Thanks

They cange change alot of things and hide it from ya !They are sneaky rascals when it comes to money ! Take you're time and look around. There are alot of differrent dealers in the area that might have a better deal ! Shop around !!Get prices in wrighting and use that to you're adantage !! They hate that!! O'Brian , They are okay , but still others out there to look at !! Iwas going to buy a car from O'Brians once for my Wife , did'nt like the salesman I was dealing with ! He tried to feed me a bunch of shit about a car ! I ended up buying a car from my Uncle at a damm good price!! Believe it or not my wife drove that car for 10 yrs. . Well worth my 16k !! Buicks are nice family cars !! So all in all becarefull and don't buy the first car you see!!
