Rcolt prices around OZ

[Corosith]

Just thought it would be interesting to check out how many rcolts were for sale around OZ at present, and at what price, colour, state, kms. The prices seemed really inconsistent, with some very hopeful car yards out there., and don't blame me for the "08" model rcolt tags, that's what they are listed as, but are probably really 07 models.;)

[aby82]

ya interesting coro.. the dealers in all the states are pretty optimistic bout their new stock! lol

[Darthrev]

nice research Coro, would have thought old stock would be running out pretty soon though!

[McCoy]

coro, mine doesnt have 12,000kms... :confused:

However I will have a grey with under 100kms for $26,490 Drive away.

Why so expensive? It will have both suspension and power upgrade from TMR and that will be my very last R-colt I will have till the new model arrives. :o

Maybe I should register this one as my demo! :D

[Corosith]

Sorry McCoy, been sorting through too many numbers, too late at night I think, how many kms should it be?:)

[why_bother]

McCoy I reckon there should be an option at sales time to have the TMR mod done... actually no, it should be mandatory :)

[McCoy]

Sorry McCoy, been sorting through too many numbers, too late at night I think, how many kms should it be?:)


It had just under 4,000km's but its since sold to an appreciative owner of out little cars. (I hope he reads posts up what car he has come from, you guys will be stoked!)

hey dan, register it as the courtesy car to encourage people to come back and service at Chadstone :)

[Brighto]

I have just discovered that my new friend locally has traded in his white RCOLT. It is advertised with 900kms on clock. He only picked it up about 6weeks ago. Traded from a Holden Crewman SS to the Colt. Has lowered suspension and new exhaust system, details I'm not sure of but talked to him day it was going in for the work. Has $22,990 on window. Checked for any obvious reasons to sell and none evident. I will be trying to find the time to track him and find out why traded it. Did spot a Modded Lancer outside his house so maybe maybe.....


Mystery Solved!!!!
I Talked to the lad and his missus, She got freaked out when out driving the RCOLT, Turbo kicked in and she got freaked. She wouldn't go near the car again. He was pretty hesitant to trade car but it was her or the car and she won. They are now back in a medium car. Which means there is now sitting at Yamanto a White RCOLT with some kickass mods already done with only 900kms on clock. I trying to convince the boss to let me trade my stock for the RCOLT but my chance are slim I think.

[sleepingwolf]

Does anyone own a RColt that wasn't built in 2006?

[Macca]

they were all built in 06, but complianced at different date, there may be a few early 07's

Built 07' ???

You must have the only one in the world, as MMAL didnt bring any R-colts into the country last year. There are two plates on every car, both with the VIN number on them. One is a build plate, the other an Australian Compliance plate.

I'd suggest you have an 07' complianced car, hell, I have an 08' complianced R-colt here, but the build plate still says 06'

[bor3dboi]

my dealer told me that the new 08 model Rcolt will be arriving at end of JUly.. 27999 drive away..

[Spaceboy]

the price doesnt take into account if you traded in a vehicle.

also when mitsubishi say drive away on their ads they mean you still have to pay dealer delivery

WTF? 2 x cars listed at 30+k? Second hand listed at 20+k?

Are these finally getting enough street cred to become slightly popular at the same time their numbers of the recaro clad 06 plated, 08 complied are dwindling?

[McCoy]

The old rule of supply and demand. ;)

[Jusnippinout]

The ever-rising cost of fuel can only help support RColt values. Having said that, more and more competitors in the 'small hot hatch' sector will inevitably arrive. Also, the talk about further reductions in import tariffs and the continuing strength of the aussie dollar should mean imported cars (including hot hatches) will get cheaper.

[Spaceboy]

the recaro's will make the r-colt a cult classic.

[rino]

Nundah Mitsubishi Brisbane Gunmetal or silver r colts $17990 +orc Cheap as I wish I got mine for that much!:mad:

[Raymond6]

The old rule of supply and demand. ;)

Your dead right about Supply and demand we have to remember that in May 07 there were still 260 to 280 new 2006 Rcolts sitting in a paddock somewhere and word was they were not going to import anymore until they/Mitz had sold all or moved all 06 Rcolts through as exective drive cars or demo's.

Given this Mitz was going to only import a very limited number of New Rcolts when the 06 build were sold out as it cost them a fortune having 200+ Rcolts sitting around. It was even suggested in early 2007 that any new Ralliart Colts would be brought in to order.

So if you have an true 2008 or later build count yourself as lucky as the word on the street was if sales did not improve Rcolts may not be brought in at all.

5 NSW Colts on carsales.com.au

2 of which are tosser listings @ $30k+

[shaneth]

In best car buys today Nundah Mitsubishi is advertising a brand new RColt for $17990 + orc :eek:

[fauxpas]

How much are the total on roads for our car?

$17,990 + ORC could be low 20s, which is what they been going for...

[shaneth]

yeah around 2300, but ive never paid ORC before.

[aby82]

yeah around 2300, but ive never paid ORC before.

u mean u get discount on the rrp.. the govt charges are always paid

[rino]

The drive away price at Nundah Mits. was under $22,000.

[shaneth]

u mean u get discount on the rrp.. the govt charges are always paid

Yeah i know what you mean, however its worked out.

[Spaceboy]

yeah around 2300, but ive never paid ORC before.

how much did you pay for the polo?

[adamw]

Nundah Mitsubishi Brisbane Gunmetal or silver r colts $17990 +orc Cheap as I wish I got mine for that much!:mad:

Are these still available? I was just about to plonk a deposit on a Polo GTI until I heard about these.

I'll call them Monday anyways, I wouldn't be paying ORC(except DD) as I'd be getting it freighted up to Darwin and have to register/transfer(stamp duty) it myself. Will put a deposit down over the phone tomorrow if they still have a gunmetal grey one.

Is anyone else offering them at this price?

[aby82]

Is anyone else offering them at this price?

i think pretty much anywhere that still has em in stock mate.. might require some bargaining ;)

[McCoy]

I have one left, mut it wont be cheap as its getting the TMR mods done before its ready for sale.

[adamw]

So I just put a deposit on a gunmetal grey one from Nundah Mitsubishi.

They honoured the $21,400 onroad price (our onroads are the same as QLD). Delivery to Darwin was additional at $1,300.

Bloody cheap, and I can't wait :)

[aby82]

congrats buddy glad to have u on board!! :D

[Skoobz]

Cant wait to get it now.....been window shopping and holding out too long.

[aby82]

I have been told by the dealer it has 0kms on the clock.

Not impressed if it turns out to be a demo

theres one comin up on the 29th June.. check it out http://rcolt.com/showthread.php?t=1826

express ur interest! :D

Im assuming it was the same one. They had 2 there (Grey & Silver) the silver was on a display on the steps out front and the grey one was out back. The grey one wasn't registered and had a demo plate on it. They told me then that "i'd better hurry up and put a deposit down as there was alot of interest at the reduced price" and "these were the last 2 they were getting for a bit". Thats why i assumed its the same one. If it is, get them to drop it to $20500. Did they tell you it had 0 Kms on the clock?

[Skoobz]

Cool, i'll check it out and join up for a cruise day.

[adamw]

Did they tell you it had 0 Kms on the clock?

They did indeed.

Unfortunately I've already paid for the car, so there'll be no recourse.

I'm not fussed if it has only been on a gentle drive or two, but I should have been told that rather than "its brand new with 0kms on the clock"

[shaneth]

how much did you pay for the polo?

i paid 27000 including tint. At the time no dealer would let me have one under 30000k except for one. :D

no new cars ever have 0kms on them
they always have delivery kms, usually not more than 100kms though

[lovecolt]

That is correct. Usually be under 10-20km on the clock for all brand new cars.

Thing is, they will have to drive the car up to the ship and down when arrived. From the parking spot at harbour up onto the truck till offloaded at dealers where someone will drive it and store at their warehouse. Sometimes (especially if the car's kept in warehouse for 2 years), they will get the car detailed at a local detailers before the final delivery.

If a dealer's selling you a 0 km mileage car, i will have doubt on it.

[fauxpas]

Plus, being an 06 car, its like been moved a lot more than an 08 car...

[ommeh]

+ dont think that the car ever gets a gently ride off the boat. My mate who works on the docks in sydney under the glebe bridge said he work mates and himself would floor it down the 2km straight and park the cars.

And yes he did drive the 1st Aus delivered Rcolts, hence why i got one cause he vouched for it. So when the dealer tells you to drive it under 3,000rpm its a load of crap cause its been thrashed already :P BUT not saying its shouldnt be. I'm just stating that 90% of all new cars are not really that new :(

[bunnybash]

Well I went by my mate's work the other day, he works for John Hughes over here in WA... in their second hand section they had an Rcolt to rival Hiso, it had the ralliart exhaust fitted, with ralliart protection thing, carbon air dams, the stickers on the side, a new spoiler, lowered, new vent, new gear stick... etc whoever owned it previously has spent some time on it!

they want $25000

here is what i think the link is (http://carsales.com.au/used-cars/dealer/MITSUBISHI/COLT/details.aspx?__Ntk=CarAll&__D=ralliart&__Dx=mode+matchany&seot=0&__Ns=pCar_StatusSort_Int32|1||pCar_Price_Decimal|0&Cr=2&state_id=904&keywords=ralliart&State=Western%20Australia&__N=4294964597+904+834+258+287+285+1216+4294964539 +788&distance=25&R=5927297&RegionID=788&__Ntt=ralliart&trecs=3&__Nne=20&__Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&silo=1000&__sid=11A6FFDEF5E7&Model=COLT&__Qpb=true&Region=State%20Wide&Make=MITSUBISHI), the amazing thing is that they have not put a photo up!!!!

[why_bother]

man i'm starting to grow fond of those colour coded wheel arches.. gives the impression it's even lower because of the side skirts not being black and it looks like it had a different set of rims then reverted back to stockers.

[why_bother]

is it just me, or does that engine bay look pink? (could be the light) and is that a different wing to the ralliart one?

[bunnybash]

yeah it was different, i saw it when i was looking at it...

i forgot to mention all the ralliart piping in the engine too :D

seems to have all the ralliart hot up bits! even 2/3 titnium pedels

Just brought a gunmetal grey colt ralliart demo 3/7/08 built 11/08 but complianced on 5/2/08 with 300 ks on clock for $22,000 on central coast seems i could have haggeled for a better price but still happy with $22,000

Just brought a gunmetal grey colt ralliart demo ... on central coast...

Make sure you take another rcolter out to make sure its up to speed. I tested a gunmetal grey from booths gosford and it was slow... At the time I thought all rcolts were slugs, till I drove the black one I ended up buying...

The GG one had not been pre-delivered, so that could explain its slowness...


...seems i could have haggeled for a better price but still happy with $22,000

You did good... After bottoming at 20,500 the prices firmed a bit as stocks get to bottom. Also, the salesmen I spoke to at booths were idiots. I'll let you know how stupid they were after at a meet, as I don't want to repeat myself here from other posts...

Anyhow, welcome to rcolt ownership... or should that be rcult?

[Barney]

I must have brought the gun metal grey ralliart that you test drove, unfortunatly i never drove another one to compare it with but still it is a nice car, I partially agree with you on the other

[fauxpas]

I mean ya did good to get that price out of those turkeys... After taking the GG one out for a spin I asked how long before they could get me a white one. They said "They don't make a white ralliart colt"... [Salesman & Sales Manager]

Ya did good...

Was that meant to be built 11/07? ;)

[Corosith]

Still a few rcolts out there for sale including a rare red one in QLD, and an even rarer white one in SA, along with several silver ones. WA seems to have quite a few up for sale, including the colt that featured in TMR's motor magazine with a plethora of mods.

McCoy's first creation is still up for sale in VIC, along with a TMR upgraded colt with aftermarket suspension, 130kw 240nm, & custom stickers.

[Unforgiven]

i was told there were no red ones left in the country by numerous sources :eek: :eek: :(

[Corosith]

This one's second hand from a dealer, not new, mind you it looks pretty smick! There is also another white one in QLD as well.
$21990, 13702kms

[adamw]

There are still quite a few in QLD at $20,500 driveaway.

I pointed a friend to one (a red one) the other day but he decided not to buy after finding he couldn't fit in mine properly and still have room for his kids in the back.
