Firstly I'm mick/mike/michael :) form the western suburbs of Adelaide .
Well what can I say this is a wee bit early .But last Saturday I purchased my my first lancer a 2011 sx .
Truth be told I went in for a look see and perhaps a test drive and came out buying one :).So hopefully Tuesday next week I should be driving it around.
I got a few added extras blue tooth was included . As was the leather steering wheel.I had the windows tinted the darkest shade allowed in SA, paint protection and interior protection.Got backing sensors .Saw 1 that was awaiting pick-up with a decal on the windscreen and neoprene seat-covers said I'll have them as well . Prestige piant was thrown in at no extra cost lightning blue pearlescent .
So what sold me on the lancer was going to buy a smaller car .Saw the colt and lancer sitting side by side and thought right fuel consumption but way to small .Test drive didn't convince me until I asked for a longer drive. When I hit the side-streets salesman saying turn left turn right felt really great. Plus I must say the front looks really cool as well !!!
How did I find this site was directed hear by another member thanks for that

Welcome! We also went in for a look and see on a second hand RA but clutches on SST were crunching so decided not to so ended up with a new RA for the same price :)

Had her over a year now and still in love!

Thanks .I am amazed at the number of people who told me not buy brand new (including my EX telling my adult kids not to let me buy new but a 2 yr old car lol).Now when I'm telling co workers the price i paid seems new is a better option !!!
Thats my car as they say :)

Welcome to the club Michael.

You will find plenty of information about your car on here.

You cant beat a new car. Make sure you look after her.

Keep an eye out in the SA section fro cruises and meets. We are a friendly mature bunch who just like relaxing scenic drives and each others company.

If you need any help, please just ask.

PS my name is Troy and not Tony. :wink:

We paid $39,990 for ours (less paint protection and tint) but had a $10k trade in on our '04 XT Forester so essentially was $29,990+ :)
