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 |

You might want to consiber the new Chevy Cobalt SS... it is close to price you are after and it also has some cool options... (ricaro seats and white face guages)... not to mention supercharged 2.0 L making 205 horses.
Chevy is really coming into the Sport compact game with a bang. It has standard most of what we have put aftermarket into our cars and still has a warranty... not a sales pitch (i have nothing to gain) just my .02 -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!
