Hey guys.
on saturday I am going to make an offer on a new Lancer activ. Last weekend I was told its $24450 in Auto (CVT), however i bet they can do better.
Im thinking $23k with foggies installed but wonder what others think I should push for.
Should I even ask for more inclusions? If so, which?
Appreciate everyone's input.

I reckon they could do better than $24450 for a CVT Activ Lancer, especially since it is coming up to the end of the financial year at the end of this month.
As Speedie said I would at least try and get the dealer to chuck in at least of full tank of fuel and the genuine floor mats for a start, you can always so went else you can try and get out of them!

First service should be free either way anyway.... but u can push for a first full service in it as well... best things u can ask for would be full tank of fuel, carpets, maybe reverse sensors and foggies.... lowball em till u guys meet in the middle and dont be afraid to walk away if they say no.... almost always they would call ya back and give u a good deal...

Appreciate the feedback guys. I'll see how it goes on Saturday
Think I might offer $22k with foggies, floor mats, fuel and proper spare wheel kit.
One question, what type of wheel comes with the spare wheel kit? The same wheel as what the came sits on? Or a cheapy steelo?
