1.3m for a lancer mx with TS? cash basis ba ito?

My thoughts exactly. Tubong lugaw ang CITIMOTORS Las Pinas!

what do you mean sir? I cant understand.

[macondo2]

evox,

can you post pics of your replaced ts? you mentioned nakuha mo na the other day. what's the brand and its features? and anong model ng lancer kinabit yan. thanks.

[batzr]

sir evoX,RF ba yang TS mo?does the steering wheel audio controls compatible if ever non-RF ung TS?napansin ko sa pix mo kasi meron ka audio on steering wheel...

[vice]

what do you mean sir? I cant understand.

Tubong lugaw kasi, its a lancer EX MX with the Touchscreen HU. Mahal sya for 1.3M. Di ko sure magkano yung MX pero AFAIK its under 1M tapos if you get the Touchscreen HU mga 70K kung JVC sya.

Nice car and nice color.

EX Owners : There's an instruction if you want to install the Navi HU (same as the USDM GTS with the sounds option) http://www.evoxforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2517

Hassle yung grill sa baba nung front bumper nung car ko, muntik na matanggal nung dinaan ng wife ko sa baha. Buti naayos ko. Also got my plate after 1 month of waiting.

hi all,
I'm a newbie here as well. I just want to clarify a few things about the lancer mx with the ts. I went to citimotors in las pinas, 2 saturdays ago to check out the new lancer.

I was surprised to see that the lancer mx displayed had the ts as standard. it turns out that they are offering it for FREE if you get financing from them...it also comes wih a free subwoofer as well. it doesnt apply to cash buyers. The mx was quoted at 980K inclusive of the 10K discount.

I inquired about the ts system, and the sales rep gave me an estimated price of around 50K. The steerng controls still worked even with the new system. The whole package looked original, but the free subwoofer seemed tacky.

galing din ako citimotors las pinas knina. Tama si skidmerc, yung MX on display actually had a TS for its HU and its free only for MX if you purchase it through in house financing. I did not check the subs......

It looks like Mitsu is trying to entice customers into buying the MX by using the TS as a bargaining chip. Nag miss forecast kasi sila dahil mas marami silang inorder na MX kaysa sa GT-A.

*evox- im sure there are a lot of lancer EX owners there interested with the touchscreen... keep us posted about your other upgrades there also - if ok with u ask your mom and your SA how much was the upgrade & the brand of the touchscreen unit.

i went to the mitsubishi taiwanese website- saw the Lancer Fortis- ([SIZE=1]taiwan styling- same platform with the Lancer EX[/SIZE]) Laking gulat ko now they have the 1.8 engine option - the 4B10!!! is the Philippine Market far or close behind to get this engine too?

Yung "FREE" TS, babawiin din nila sa interest and other charges ng
in-house finanching.

Made a comparison sa in-house financing ng Union Motors v.s. direct bank
financing, and I found out that there's a difference almost 1 percent /
month which in my case translated into a PHP 5,000 more per month of
amortization. PHP 5,000 x 12 mos = PHP 60,000 din yun for 1 year.

Tapos chattel mortgage fee ng in house financing is PHP 35,000 vs. sa
bank na PHP 25,000, so another PHP 10,000 ang difference.

Add pa the insurance difference of PHP 7,000 and you have a total
of PHP 77,000 more na binayad mo for that "FREE" TS.

So it's not that "FREE" when you think about it. If you really need
financing, I'd suggest get it from the banks directly. You save much
much more.

Have to admit though that my quote for in house financing is for the
new Monterosport, but I think the figure differences wont' be too far
off for the MX Lancer.

As for the GT-A, yup mas marami ako nakikita na NEW Lancer GT-A
sa kalye kay sa sa MX, at puro RED ang nakikita ko.

*leonleon, 3kster: somewhere on the earlier pages of this thread, a fellow tsikoteer who has a Mitsu insider mentioned that out of 5 Lancer EXs shipped to the Philippines, 3 are MX CVTs, 1 is a GT M/T and 1 is a GT-A CVT. I think MMPC was trying to tap on prospective buyers of the Civic 1.8 S 5-speed A/T- the best selling car of the C-class segment. This plan didn't really succeed as someone will have to fork out an additional P80-90k to upgrade from the Civic S to the Lancer MX. As we all know, the waiting list is actually on the GT-A and the GT. The the unit allocation then should have been 2 GT-As, 1 GT and 2 MXs. But we also have to consider na (which was also mentioned) 3rd preference tayo when it comes to getting it from Japan. Yes, getting the car straight from the bank will mean savings! and i agree that you are actually paying for the TS slowly.

*EVO-XRheinhardt: at P1.3M for the Lancer MX with TS, may i know what other modifications/accessories did u install sir? just curious lang po...

thanks.

obviously, in-house financing would have a higher interest rate. and yet the ironical thing about it is that in-house financing AFAIK is done in partnership with a bank! i think Union Motor has RCBC as its partner.

comparing the insurance coverage of Union Motor (Standard Insurance Company yata partner nila if I'm not mistaken) with Direct Link for instance, it seems that the figures don't differ that much though.

yung chattel mortgage mas mataas nga talaga sa in-house, no doubt about that.

Just finished detailing my car. Ayos naman. Daming asphalt so I had to degrime the car first.

Here are some pics.




I also tried the K&N Drop in Filter on my car. Galing sa Outlander ng Bro-in-Law ko. Not much difference. I think umingay lang sya. hehehe

Did you see the Black Lancer EX involved in an accident at Macapagal? Wasak yung windshield. Laki nung picture sa Philippine Star.

Dented bumper and busted windshield. The picture didn't show the plate #. So watch out, for any second hand black GT-A coming into the market in a few weeks!

Car sideswipes 4 men in Parañaque
By Michael Punongbayan
Monday, September 15, 2008


Four people were seriously hurt after they were sideswiped by a speeding vehicle along Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard in Parañaque City early yesterday.

Duncan Alandres, 25; Diore Pequinto, 25; Allan Salimo, 30; and Bong Obias were brought to the San Juan de Dios Hospital in Pasay City and were still undergoing treatment for head and body injuries.

Police Officer 3 Alipio Dimaano of the Parañaque Traffic Management Unit said the incident happened at around 2 a.m. at the northbound lane of the boulevard near the Coastal Mall.

Witnesses saw the victims were hit by a Mitsubishi Lancer allegedly driven by Ben Chua Ching Jr. of Dasmariñas Village in Makati City.

Dimaano said an investigation is still ongoing to determine Ching’s liability. Several witnesses told police that the victims appeared drunk.

Ching was also brought to the same hospital for treatment of minor injuries and will be charged with several counts of multiple serious and slight physical injuries.

Three other persons – identified as Gino Espeneda, Marlon Zapanto and Alvaro Ferolino – were with the victims when the accident took place but were not hurt.

hmmm thanks for the heads up sir number001...

thats if Japan can produce an original windshield in a few weeks...

...otherwise, some cheap alternative might come at hand.

this is a newly launched unit and i doubt if MMPC has stacked up parts na... please take note of the glazed logo of the original windshield.

if this is a high speed collision and as mentioned that they didnt sustain major injuries, then the Lancer EX is a significant improvement over the previous generation...

May litrato ba kayo nung Lancer?

[rookie_360]

mga bro,

question lang, may mga nagpalit na ba ng grille sa mga may EX?
i've been seeing mga EX kasi from afar tapos parang flat black yung buong grille nila. parang yng galant fortis ralliart na. just wondering, gusto ko kasi din magpalit ng grille. thanks

as far as i know OEM's are flat black or chromed lip..meron na aftermarket sa US na carbon from RRM.
now if you want the ralliart style,either you wait for the real ralliart to be out and buy that grill or a replica of that grill or you can DIY yours with some chrome strip sticko like this.

Question..
Ano difference ng GT and GT-A?
Darating kaya dito sa atin yung Lancer Ralliart?.. pang tapat daw sa impreza..

Thanks!

Hi guys. FYI, I own a Lancer EX MX variant and it seems ok naman. Most of the hype is on the GT-A and GT, so not everybody realizes that the base model has almost the same underpinnings of the higher end models (except for the rear discs and the 18 inch wheels of course).

In any case, I had synthetic leather seat covers made for my Lancer at Leder Interia, since the fabric seats really get dirty. The fit and finish are superb (they actually look like upholstery) and are reasonably priced (well, P5.8k to be exact). Those guys wanting to be rid of constantly dirty and "linty" Lancer seats should consider it.

Just wanted to share it lang.
