Hi, New member from Melbourne in the process of buying RA

Hello All,
I am a new member. Im 29yrs Male & I am currently looking for a new car and RA is one which I am looking into. Currently I drive a Subaru.

I test drove the RA and I am happy with it. I am not into track stuff or anything. Just looking for a car to drive to work and also which is fun to drive.

Since a lot of you guys own a Lancer, I would like to get your opinion about drive away prices for an RA MY10 (Black Pearlescent) with leather seats, Rockford Fostgate & Sat Nav. I have been quoted $52, 000 drive away and have managed to get that down to $45, 000 drive away.

Is that a good price or is it possible to get better? It would be greatly appreciated if you could maybe give me some feedback of your own experiences when buying a new car and which Melbourne Mitsubishi dealers are worth dealing with.

I'm also going to trade in my MY05 Subaru RS 2.5 Litres (67,000Kms) and that same dealer (who quoted me for an RA is willing to offer me $13000 for my Subaru. Car has always been serviced at a Subaru dealership & is in very good condition. Subaru is willing to give me $15K for my car if I buy a WRX from them but I don't want a Manual anymore because it's a pain to drive in peak hour traffic. What sort of pricing should I be looking for when selling my Subaru please?

Your opinions and recommendations are most welcomed.
Cheers

I think you need to have a post count of 20 or more to use PMs
It is a security function of the site to prevent spam
I will PM OFEY for you and get him to make contact
Regards Chris.

hansmitchel: I've pm-ed you.

Now I'm wondering if PMR have paid the club the A$150 incentive when lizziev1 bought her car.

I told PMR, Preston Motors Ralliart, Mizta_B and lzy_eye about this. Hope this has been done already.

Welcome to the club mate.

I've had my RA for just over a year now and I think you will be very happy with it.

I would definately recommend Nick from Preston Motors, the after sales service is second to none.
