So thanks for your opinion but what's your point?
Thanks a ton to all the posters. I've already saved about 1k from the info here and at fool.com. Isn't the internet just the coolest thing? Amazing how so many business people still don't see it.
Direct replies to Bikeman@InLine.com are appreciated!
Thanks!

The vehicles fit and finish are excellent, however after a year or so the felxible trim between the fender flares and the body of the vehicle began turning brown. The dealer is going to replace them for me. I don't think these vehicles were tested here in Arizona where the sun gets pretty strong. I see mamy older Toyotas and QX4 s with no simular problems
I am looking for cargo mat for back and cargo net as well - any suggestions where to look??
DONT BUY THE RODEO - they JUNK!!!
THANKS!!
Almost all of the autoparts sites on the web carry Husky cargo liners/floor mats. Just check around for the cheapest price.
As far as the Cargo net, this can be purchased at almost any auto parts store. However, I opted for the Mitsubishi original equipment net from the dealer. It was made better, and has bottom hooks that match up with the cargo hooks in your montero sport. The cost at the dealership is about $30. Talk to your salesperson and see if they can get the net for you at dealer cost, about $18.

Should you want some specific data on Montero Sports or how to negotiate the best deal on one, email me at: Bigeasyal@hotmail.com.
Note: I am NOT a dealer or salesperson, just a happy Mitsu owner that did a lot of research before my purchase.

Mitsubishi will let you assume the loan if you
qualify. Will add financial incentive to bring
cost down to true invoice (reference Edmunds).
email me at hokies@prodigy.net
Does anyone know where I can get this information? For those of you that own one, can you share any information that you have. Thanks!!
I am less than 2 days away from buying this almighty Monty Sport 2000 XLS 4WD. My dealer tells me he will sell at INVOICE PRICE with NO additional costs, but I will have to sign over the dealer incentive $$$ to him. Is this a great deal folks? Also how/where do I find info about the $1000-$1500 Rebates (Bikeman did you find something?).
Talk to me my little family. Reply to amansie@hotmail.com
Thanks.

We are looking at a (new) 99 Sport Ltd sitting on a dealer lot with about 5k miles. Kelley says 29,750 retail, and Edmunds says 23,760 market.... the dealer has a 33K sticker, asking 38K including "advertising".
What is a fair price, and why are Kelley and Edmunds so far apart?
Thanks,

I have had my 2000 Sport XLS 2 wheel drive since 10/99. I have 11,100 miles on it and am averaging 19.5 miles per gallon.
No problems at all thus far.
Thanks.
Please give an email address for anyone to send responses to you directly!! Yes, the rebate and low financing are exclusive. If you qualify you get to choose from the low interest rate or the rebate, if you do not qualify for the financing you only get the rebate. Interest rates on current programs is 1.9% not 0.9% and rebates are as much as $2,000 now. Please write to me and I can give you some detailed information on how to get the best price. Carsdirect is not the cheapest way to go. You can do better on your own. For instance I can get you an LS 2wheel drive with the security system and preferred package for roughly $23,175 or $3,150 off the MSRP. This includes the current rebate and all that would be added is tax, title, and license. No other hidden fees or charges such as protection plans, undercoating, flooring fees, etc.
To help, I need to know what state you live in, what is the combined state and local sales tax rate % applicable to your area, and what model you are looking for (ES, LS, XLS, Limited, 2 or 4 wheel drive)?
NOTE TO ANYONE WANTING ASSISTANCE FROM THIS BOARD--- PLEASE PUT A RETURN EMAIL ADDRESS WHEN YOU POST!!!!!
BigEasyAl@hotmail.com
However, your return email address is showing undeliverable. I can save you big money. A dealer here in Louisiana will sell for $200 over invoice then you have the choice of either applying the $1,500 to $1,750 rebate to further lower that price, or you can take the 0.9% financing, your choice. But I need a way to contact you. Please email me with a daytime fax number and I will fax you the details.
i want to know the overdrive switch which they mention in the specs in this site. where is this switch located in the vehicle.

The point about the oil filters. Hmmm. Last I knew all oil filters had a 'check valve' in them. Just look at the bottom of the filter and you'll see a rubber flap that covers holes (these are the inlet to the filter). If curiousity is still eating you, go buy a dealer filter, one from the parts store (fram, wix, purolator, etc) and the cheapest filter you can get from wal-mart. Take a hack saw/can opener and begin the operation. You'll most likely find the differences in the filter element and in the gauge (thickness) of the outer jacket. If you find a check valve, HORRAY! If you don't, take the filter back to the service manager and ask him/her where it is. Let us know.
Thanks

I Just purchased a 2000 Montero Sport Ls 2WD for 21,680 out the door price. I get free oil changes for the 1st year and for the life of the SUV, they are $9.99. I got it for 0% down and 2.9% financing. Is this a good deal? I did however, leave off the running boards and the roof rack. I never place anything on top of my SUV, so I said why pay the extra charge. I also figured could get the running boards and install them at an after market shop for much less than what the dealer wants for them. The dealership was turning over the Mitsubishi line over to another dealership and it wanted to sell as many as possible that day. Did I make out or what??
i want to know does anyone had similar problem in ms ltd 4wd. i have driven only 2600 miles sofar after i bought it last month, last two days i am getting an noise like sound of air trying to penetrate from the front side passenger door near the joint of the door at the speed 50 miles and above if u drive less than 50 miles it stops!

Mine is (are you ready for this?? = aoxomoxoa420@hotmail.com
Thank you soooooo much!
What state do you live in?
What is the combined state and local sales tax rate % you will be subject to?
WHAT MODEL MONTERO SPORT ARE YOU CONSIDERING? THERE ARE FOUR MODEL LINES; ES, LS, XLS, & LTD?
Do you want 2 or 4 wheel drive?
And Finally, what options in the vehicle are you looking for? Leather seats, sunroof, roof rack, security system?
I need an email address that is capable of openning microsoft word and excel files OR a daytime fax number and a name to whose attention I should send the information.
I have original dealer invoices with the holdback and flooring amounts, as well as the ad fee charged for each model? I also know of a few dealers that will sell for less than 1 % over invoice no additional fees or charges. And you can opt for the refunds to further reduce your price.
So contact me at BigEasyAl@hotmail.com
It features insurance institute crash tests. Note that the Montero Sport receives a poor rating and looks horribly mangled in the pictures. I would pass based on this alone. Rollover hard facts: SUV are roughly three times as likely to roll than cars, but are safer in car-car crashes because they ride over the vehicle they collide with. The montero is not more rollover prone than other SUV in this class. Personally I prefer the Galant ES v6 (I traded my 99' Montero sport in 2 months ago). It has more options (traction control, side air bags) and is faster than the sluggish montero. Also the montero is truckish, read: bouncy. Yeah, its got great looks (runaway most stylish SUV), but its wise to look beyond the sheetmetal.
