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

[Chrionic]

hi to all,

i will be on a business trip for 2 to 4 weeks. okay lang ba na iwan ko na lang yung ex ko sa garag for the whole duration?

sa manual ko yata na basa na kailangang i start yung engine and aircon once a week

tia!

Sir,

Disconnect the battery. I read it in the manual somewhere something about storing the car.

[igc09]

Sabi nga ng SA ko, sa susunod na service yun daw ang mura mga 800 petot lang, kasi puro higpit lang...* 5k km...tapos nung pinareset ko yung sa computer para sa warning ng next service, lumabas service at 8000km, sabi ko bat ganun hindi 5k? sabi niya sa japan lang daw yun, dito sa Pinas every 5k daw..so ayun malapit nako mag 5k, pero ang warning ng car is 8k, pano kaya yun pag na servicean sa 5k irereset kaya uli yung warning?

Sir same case I experienced at Diamond Motors in QA. I paid about P3,800++ for the 1K check, malaki dahil sa change oil. Sabi din ng SA sa 10K check na ulit ang next change oil. Sabi ko rin i-adjust yung service reminder for 5K pero di nila ginawa so I did it myself when I got home. After 1K, 4K na ata yung next reminder na lumabas and then 10K if I'm not mistaken. I remember reading in the manual na puwedeng hindi match yung sched na naka-input sa sched na sinusunod ng customer. I'm not sure if we can reset the reminder to match our regular 5K sched here in the Philippines.

hey guys! i have good news! just received an email from the vice president of carworld, inc. (one of the mitsu dealer here in the phil.) the production of lancer ex mx will resume next month!:rockon:

I also got the news about the phase-out last last February from my SA when I was getting an MX. Gusto ko sana ng black or red but they only had silver at sabi nga baka wala na akong mahintay na black or red because of the phase-out so I ended up getting the silver. Sana nga available na ulit para dumami tayong may mga MX, malungkot sa kalsada, huwag lang sindami ng Civic!

Onga wag naman parang Civic. Kanina sa parking sa mall, napansin ko dahil hirap humanap ng spot at paikot-ikot ako, every row (literally) has at least one Civic parked. Then dun naman sa unloading area, mas malala, almost every 5 minutes merong Civic na dadaan.

Ganda pa naman din ng Civic... it has become a generic car. No exclusivity whatsoever, tsk tsk.

"Hello. Saan ka naka-park?" ... "Ah dun sa Level 2. 2009 Civic na silver, wala pang plate eh." ... (after a while) ... "Alin ka dito? Ang daming silver Civic na wala pang plaka dito." HEHEHE.

Hope this doesn't happen to our Lancer EX!

Hi sir, it is ok with the New Lancer EX GT-A. The "fun to drive" factor is a whole lot better than the Corolla Altis 2.0 V! I'm glad you don't have to wait that long, too. Just make sure you conduct a Pre-Deivery-Inspection (PDI) of the GT-A with your SA- there must be a checklist. Also your SA must take a little more time with you to orient you with (ideally) all certain controls, features and maintenance of the car- these are one of the many ways of "watching your back" especially when you have questions in mind... File a complaint kung pabaya ang SA mo. Congrats in advance, bro... pls. post pictures and feedback whenever you have time po...


...also, pls. avoid Text Typing a post here in tsikot has a 10,000 character limit... thanks

i really hope that mitsu phils. will release the lancer ex ralliart here!:please:

Lancer EX Ralliart? yup, sana nga po sir... IMO, if it would be sold here, it would probably be in the 2million mark na considering the the current pricetags of the Evolution X of 3million onwards of both the GSR and the MR.

Malayong mas maganda yang nakuha mo sir kesa Altis 2.0. Anyway, mas mahal naman yang GT-A ng medyo malayo, so not even a fair comparison

i was really impressed with the lancer ralliart when i saw it in the US..
i hope twill not go beyond 2m petot coz when i converted the US price, its only around 1.5m petot.. mitsu shud bring it here coz in time like this (crisis), i dont think people will buy evo.. (i rather buy a bmer) hehehe...

Well, cars (along with laptops, branded clothes, and many other consumer goods) are generally less expensive in the US than here in the Philippines because of taxes and what-have-you. You can never expect any item to cost the same here in the Philippines as the conversion of its USD price to PHP. Try converting the prices of the different Lancer EX trims (though they may not exactly be the same).

Hmm.. as much as I myself would prefer to get the Ralliart over the EvoX, I personally don't think that Mitsu will bring it in. We already have the EvoX, and I doubt if our relatively small car market will make it worth bringing the entire Lancer lineup to our shores. Just my 2centavos.

dude you miss the point! my bad, its only an estimated.. our gt-a = gts cvt in the US which srp is at US$20K = 960K petot (* P48/$1) so if the ralliart srp is at US27K - US$30K, i dont think it mitsu will sell it here over 2M petot! besides, its just an estimated price..

will just hope they will bring the ralliart here..

peace!:peace:

Yeah, the Ralliart (somewhat called the "Decafinated Evo") would be nice to have here... i just hope that MMPC would make the price and after sales services competitive...

this goes for the Lancer EX and Evo lineup as well.

The Lancer EX Sportbacks? sana...

most likely they will bring it here considering the bmer, audies, mazda3, ford focus, hyundai i30, are already here and made a pretty much good respond from the market.. (i even read an article that honda civic is bringing back the hatch!)

and by the way, correct me if i'm wrong, didnt mitsu phils. said that they will launch 4 new cars this year? and they already released the 4x2 monty.. so 3 more to go? i guess twill be the lancer ralliart, lancer sportback and my favorite outlander gt!

boy, if my guess is true, all i have to say is : :rockon:

Pero sir mahal talaga benta ng mga dealer dito comapare sa U.S. price... Evo X in the US fully loaded is only $35,000, that only 1.6M taxes are included.. its also came from Japan.. why our evox is 3M? over price... I was mitsubishi fanatic pero ngayon over pricing na sila.. kaya tinatalo sila ng Subaru.. like GT-A now its more than 1.2M... why should i get Lancer eh meron naman subaru all wheel drive pa.... for that price..

yah thats one of the downside in buying a car here in phil.. in the US, cars are necessity, you cannot move around without a car, so government makes sure that its afordable to everyone.. now, cars in the US are so cheap coz of the recession, most of the dealers are giving big discounts.. the lancers are $2K plus off from the srp..

No problem. Di naman nakikipag-away

I just tend to agree with the other posters who think that if the Ralliart will be released here, it will be priced at around 2M.

We can take the lead from your estimated GT-A price of 960k. I think the actual price is now somewhere between 1.3M - 1.4M for a GT-A. That's almost 1.4x the USD conversion price. The Ralliart USD conversion price ($30k x PHP 48/1$) is around PHP 1.44M. Multiplying that by 1.4x brings the total to just a little over PHP 2M.

I agree, but does anyone have any numbers/observations on how the pricing of other local car dealers compares to the USD conversion price? Is Mitsubishi really "more overpriced" in comparison to other brands like Toyota, Honda, or even Subaru?

Offtopic, IMHO, the Lancer is still a better car than the Impreza.
