Mitsubishi Galant big discount! Bakit kaya?

[giqiri]

Just got a pricelist from mitsubishi. they are offering P330,000.00 for the galant 240. Baka anybody could shed light bakit kaya ganun. From 1.52 million, magiging P1.2+ million na lang. May catch ba ito? I know may bago nang model ang galant pero bakit kaya ganito kalaki ang discount? Any info please, baka may alam kayo na di namin alam about this car.. thanks

hi there... to my understanding, there is no catch in on why the Galant has a hefty discount. MMPC has lowered the price for marketability purposes against the Accord, Teana and Camry. If you would recall, the previous Gen Mazda 6 2.3 had a similar discount also to woo compact saloon buyers (i.e. Altis 1.8G, Civic 2.0S) but the Galant 240M is still the latest model and the 10th gen Galant should be out by 2009/2010 based on the Concept ZT. I checked on the taiwanese website - Galant's country of origin and it is still the same current model on sale.

Poor sales.

Poor sales.

imho, there are two things that made them do that. first is poor sales. if you would observe, you seldom see a galant on the road.

and the second, is to improve sales...

[AG4]

Poor sales.

True, this entire month, I've only seen one.

The Galant 240M aka Galant Grunder with the horrible rendition of the Boulay pizza grill just didn't work out.

I remember the early units tested by the local car magazines only had one airbag!

If the facelifted 2008 Galant was launched here, do you think sales would have been slightly better?

2% increase?

I just hope Mitsubishi speeds up the development of the next Galant.
The Concept ZT may give us a hint on Mitsubishi's next mid-size/large sedan (Export market Galant?)

When you have the Camry, Accord and 6 around the block its no wonder why di ito mabenta....

[basti08]

Poor sales lang kase kaya ganyan.

[[archie]]

it think it just wants to be competitive with the market para bumili ang mga tao... which IMO, is not really happening.

[tidus1203]

^^True. Wala paring bibili nyan even at 1.3M because its just so boring... I would still get a Civic FD over this anytime even though its a bigger car....

May nakita kong ganito kulay puti naka 19" na mags...Gwapo!!

[Bogeyman]

Wala paring bibili nyan even at 1.3M because its just so boring...

No, the Nissan Sentra is boring. The Galant 240M is...hideous. Mas mukha pa siyang lolo car kesa sa Volvo.

Hindi talaga tayo ang target market niyan.

[judoman]

mas maganda pa po yung galant VR compared sa current galant at sa balak nila release. sinibak na siguro yung designer ng current galant. hehe..

galant VR is macho and ***y parin. yung current galant po, wala pa po ako nakikitang ganyan sa daan.

Is there a possibility that this car may end up like an 'Edsel'?

I went to Diamond Motors in Libis with my nephew last Sunday to check out the new Lancer, napansin ko din yung 330k na discount for Galant, nilalangaw kasi eh. Honestly, wala pa rin bibili nyan * 1.250M, the Galant is simply boring and then couple that with Mitsu's bad rap, patay na! The Camry is still the best in its class, light years away from the Galant and even the new Accord.

[ghosthunter]

For the same money, I would prefer to choose the Toyota Camry over the Galant. For me, I really hate the Galant's looks.

Like they said, poor sales.
Also dealer are force to slash a huge profit from a car to met there quota as an agreement to Mitsubishi to meet sales standard. Failure to meet the goal would void agreement w/ the manufacturer. Less sales also are less dealer incentives (money) because of poor sales. So its your lucky day....get it.

gawin nilang 1M flat yan malamang may mabebenta na sila

[tidus1203]

Hell make it price against a Civic and a Corolla, that will sell like hotcakes pero di ata pwede lugi na ata sila nyan...

Even if the Galant is priced against a Corolla or a Civic, I'll still buy either the Corolla or the Civic, why? lakas kasi sa gas yung Galant compared to the 2 and in these times of expensive fuel prices the last thing everyone would need is a gas guzzler.

With the gridlocks over there plus rising fuel prices, even Corollas and Civics may become considered gas guzzlers. Everyone there may have to resort to subcompacts like the Alto. Take Japan for example. The Japanese make nice cars and all. Yet, the average Japanese driver own subcompacts like the Alto. Subcompacts are the most numerous cars there. Even the little Subbie Impreza hatch I rented stood out like a sore thumb because it looked big.
