2008 Mitsubishi Lancer EX GLX / GLS / MX / GT / GTA [ARCHIVED]

[Chikselog]

Has anybody noticed na ang laki ng tinaas ng presyo ng EVO X? from 2.9M (?) yung GSR M/T ngayon 3.250M na.. Yung MR TC-SST from 3.395M ngayon 3.695M na

[gwapster]

*gwapster
binalik na ang MX. see for yourself, sa mitsubishi makati meron sa showroom. 998,000 ang net price.

totoo ba na CBU parin ang mga binebenta? so ibig sabihin mas magiging mura pa pag local assembly na?

Binalik na pala ang MX, and almost same price as before. Although nung bumili ako, right before ma-"phaseout" for a while, 930K ang net price kasi may 60K discount.

Hindi pa rin malayo sa GLS ang price ng MX, so unless ibaba nila ang price ng GLS further, baka mahirapan sila magbenta ng GLS. 900+ pa rin ang net ng GLS?

About the CBU thing, that info came from Citimotors. I asked if their display unit of GT-A, with the new front design (Ralliart-style), and the GLX with new 10-spoke 16" rims, were already local assembled... the sales guy said no they're still Japan CBU. Nagtaka nga rin ako, kasi akala ko sa locally assembled lang unang lalabas yung 10-spoke rims sa GLS/GLX, saka yung ibang style ng GT-A. Smoked na rin yung taillights nung nakita ko.

[magister]

GLS, GLX, MX, GT-A plus RA and Evo X will be the variants sold here. all except the RA and Evo X are being assembled in Cainta hence the reduced prices.

GT models will only be sold til stocks run out. japan made pa mga ito.

nakakatawa yung officemate ko, hindi sya maalam sa cars, akala nya Volvo yung EX ko. Gabi kasi nya unang nakita so hindi pansin yung logo sa harap. Pero yung mga FD, alam na alam nyang Civic yun kahit madilim/gabi.

nice....ganyang ganyan din sinabi skin ng Classmate ko kgabi nug first time nila mkita ung Lancer EX ko...akala daw nya Volvo nung cnabi ko lng Lancer nagulat pa

[Baguhan222]

I recently Buy a Lancer EX na GT-A last tuesday lng....i don't understand kc sabi ng Car world...sa thailand pa nila kinukuha ung unit....dun ba nagaasemble?

Mukhang nanloloko mga SA ng mitsu, ang alam ko pag CBU na GTA hindi smoked tailamps, CDK na yan

[gwapster]

Oo nga e... ang sinasabi nila (yung mga napagtanungan ko sa Citimotors) end of March or April pa ilalabas yung mga galing Cainta kasi hindi pa ready. Pero parang yung design ng locally assembled e may nakikita na ako sa kalye since January pa.

Actually, yung mga smoked-type tailights/headlight and 10 spoke rims (for GLX/GLS) are 2010 models. I know this kasi late last year, nakabili yung kakilala ko ng GLS. 2010 model na yung mga smoked-type. Also, all wheel disc na din lahat ng ex (from glx to gta)

I inquired from Carworld Pampanga about the MX, the price is 1.120M (less 58k discount). Sa Union Motors Caloocan naman sabi wala na raw MX. kaya nga i posted/asked earlier why prices are different from different distributors of the same product. kaya nakakalito I you were to buy na. but anyway, may i ask if the ones they're selling are 2010 MX or just leftovers? and malaki ba difference nya sa GLS? thanks.

[oliver1013]

Dapat ata magpatawag ang mitsu ng general meeting sa mga ahente at dealer nila para pag isahin ang impormasyon. Andaming nagsasabi iba iba. Pati ako last week sa Megamall may naka display na EX iba rin pinagsasabi ng ahente sakin, di ko na pinost lalo lang magkakagulo.

the SA's were supposed to go through some training... i drove a test drive unit of the GLS variant yesterday and it indicated a product knowledge training last Feb 12... those who are giving topsy turvy answers are those who DIDN'T to that training.

*Baguhan222 - Thailand sourced Lancers would probably be the Cedia/Snubnose body. the SA probably didnt express himself fully or probably a newbie on cold knuckles... hehehe...

So 1.062M ang discounted ng MX... while the GT-A goes for 1.140M after the 155K discount. Hmmmm... 80K na lang difference, may Rockford Fosgate, full bodykit, 18" vs. 16" wheels and Ralliart front design (among other things) ka na.

Kung talagang mahusay na sales agent yan, kahit kulang sa training sa company nila, nagkalat ang info sa internet, matututunan nya lahat yang features ng binebenta nya. Ang problema kasi, meron talagang mga sales agents na magaling lang mangulit sa pagbebenta: "pano sir, pa-approve na natin sa bank?", "kelan mo ba balak kunin yung unit sir", "yung GT-A na lang kunin mo sir, mas high-tech na yan".... pero pag tinanong mo ano ang features, hindi masyado alam, minsan mali pa ang sasabihin, hehehe.

Kapag yang Japan vs. locally assembled naman itanong mo, minsan ang sagot sa yo "hindi na yun importante kung saan galing yan sir... Lancer EX pa rin yan, maganda yan. Pa-reserve ka na sir?" :D

On the other hand, may mga nakausap akong sales agent na alam lahat ng itanong ko (although na-research ko na rin yung mga tinatanong ko, it helps to know which one of the agents know most about the car, at sa kanya masarap bumili). Bilib din ako sa mga agents na maalam na sa binebenta nila, active pa sa mga forum tulad dito sa Tsikot, kasi kahit paano may mapupulot din silang info sa internet talaga kahit kulang ang product training sa company nila. Resourceful sila, and that pays off dahil ang tendency ng customer ay magtiwala sa sinasabi nila.

Pero kung hot babe naman yung agent, ibang usapan na yun. :D

agree with that sir... it is a test of both skill and character... what is important is how the dealer supports its sales staff and how the sales staff use what they have learned and research further.

as for the hot babe... hehehe... i go for beauty with brains kung sakali- yung tipong sasagot na tulad sa beauty pageant.

kaya nga po, minsan whenever i inquired lumalabas mas marami pa ko alam lalo na sa updated features ng EX kesa SA's. kaya i firmly believe na it only takes a bit of research para di maloko or maengganyo na bumili agad.
by the way po, as i asked earlier what are the basic specs of the 2010 MX (esp the ones that's being added, if there's one)? thanks po uli.

AFAIK, the MX has the GT-A features (specs available at Mitsu Phils website) MINUS:

- Rockford Fosgate 9.1-speaker audio system
- Ralliart-style front grille/bumper/airdam
- bodykit (rear spoiler, side skirts)
- sport seats with bigger side bolsters
- 7 airbags (MX only has 2)
- aluminum pedals
- front maplights

When I bought my MX, the price difference with the GT-A was 300K, and I got the Upgrade Package promo which included LCD/DVD headunit and subwoofer. So it was a no-brainer choice.

Now, it seems that it's less than 100K difference. So if I were just buying today, I would really really consider getting the GT-A instead, coz the feature differences I highlighted above are definitely worth more than 100K.
