So I bought a new car...

[Original_Ranger84]

Yeah I guess I should have guessed it wouldn't burn through a tank in 60 miles. lol

My first brand new car!!

Sixty miles on her, and I put twenty of them there.

She's a 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS with a 5 speed manual and the 2.4 liter mivec engine. :

Anyways, here are some pics, and I haven't named her yet, so I'm open to suggestions.



Neat little car. Like the color and the interior. Are those 13 inch rims or 14's? What does that wing on the back do??

The rims are 18's. And I'm pretty sure the spoiler's only job is to block half of my rear-view mirror. I'd take it off, but then there would be holes in the trunk lid.

At least you can use yours. My gf's si, you can see shyt out the rear view mirror. What did you name it? I like 'The Angry Fish'.

nice car, but how's the depreciation treating you?

The money I'm not paying in interest is probably about the same as the depreciation. Best rate I could get for a used car is 8.362%.

It's a Lancer GTS, not an Evo. I didn't go with a Subaru because insurance is higher, and I think they're kind of ugly. I paid $22,189 out the door, they gave me $3000 for my trade in (worth $1500 tops), and I got it on a 60 month 0% interest loan.

I know what you mean on the subi my friend was going to get a STI when he got his money back from his totaled Accord but the Insurence was through the roof so he bought this insted:

Belive or not this is cheaper for ins, and it has lower payments

I can believe it. The Lancer is cheaper on insurance than my truck was. 100/mo for full coverage vs. 72/mo for liability only. I used to be paying 140 a month for liability with USAA, but since I switched my renters, auto, and motorcycle insurance all to Allstate, it's 135/mo for full coverage on everything.

Nope. I never used the bed for anything, and 300 bucks a month for gas was getting old really fast.

You'll notice I pretty much avoid the tech forums ever since I sold my Ranger. I don't leave the Tailgate very often.
