Used Cars at Expressway Mitsubishi: We’re with You Every Step of the Way

No better feeling exists than driving a new set of wheels. However, the buying process can create mixed feelings of excitement and a lot of stress. Buying a used car in particular is especially tricky. That’s why it’s important to work with a reputable dealer you can trust who will help you every step of the way.

Looking to buy a used car? Look no further! Expressway Mitsubishi wants to help you find exactly what you’re looking for! Our large variety of used cars goes even farther than our lot. We can search other locations to fit your qualifications and needs. We will guide you through the whole process of purchasing a used car with some tips as well!

Tips On Purchasing a Used Car

Ultimately, it comes down to price when buying a car. So, first things first, figure out your budget. Then find a happy medium of what you want vs what your budget can afford. This will help you create a target list of cars and, obviously, will narrow down the location to obtain said car. Different dealerships may offer different prices for similar cars, so make sure you're finding the best deal! Once you have an idea of what kind of car you want and where to get it, see if you can get a vehicle history report. This may involve contacting the original owner or seller, but it’s important to know exactly what you are buying so you don’t have any surprises. Contacting a mechanic to do a maintenance check should be one of the last few things you do before purchase. If the car is in your budget and is what you’re looking for, ask for a test drive! You’re buying a car and you don’t want any pricey surprises for the future. Figure out a good deal and don’t be afraid to really negotiate, and then finally, fill out the paperwork! The paperwork will involve your signature, insurance, and special warranties that come with the car. Know your car, know what you’re buying, and make a logical decision!

Expressway Mitsubishi in Evansville, IN, also serving Henderson, KY and Mount Vernon, IN is proud to be an automotive leader in our area!  Since opening our doors, Expressway Mitsubishi has kept a firm commitment to our customers.  We offer a wide selection of vehicles and hope to make the car buying process as quick and hassle free as possible.

Coming Soon to an Expressway Mitsubishi Near You - The All New 2018 Eclipse Cross

Blast from the past? Not really. Although the name may seem familiar, Mitsubishi guarantees the unveiling of a completely new vehicle with their 2018 Eclipse Cross. In fact, this is Mitsubishi’s first all-new model in years. The Japanese automotive manufacturer decided to resurrect the name “Eclipse” for the new compact SUV from their long-running, performance-based, and beloved sports coupe discontinued in 2012 - despite the lack of resemblance between the two.

The Eclipse Cross’s styling is sharp, dynamic, and muscular and arguably one of the boldest and best-looking SUV designs seen on the market in years. The front bumper combines elements from the Lexus LS and Toyota Aygo, but doesn’t feel like a rip-off. Being a crossover, it also has a swooping roof that is usually found on a coupe, which leads to the angular rear-end.

Inside the car, Mitsubishi has opted for a ‘less is more’ approach, as the interior looks uncluttered and refined. It is fairly well connected, supporting both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Powering the Eclipse Cross is a new 1.5-liter direct-injection turbocharged gasoline engine with an eight-speed CVT transmission (only engine available in the United States), which has a compatible sports mode built in. A 2.2-liter direct-injection diesel engine with a eight-speed transmission is also available.

It’s not every day...or even every year...that the Mitsubishi brand adds an all-new vehicle to its lineup. That’s why we are so excited about the 2018 Eclipse Cross! It is a well-constructed and well-equipped machine, with a bit more attitude.

We invite you to check out the all new 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross as soon as it is available. We guarantee it will be well worth the wait! Expressway Mitsubishi is located at 5511 E. Indiana St in Evansville, Indiana. Stop in Monday through Saturday anytime between 8:30 AM and 8:30 PM, to test drive a vehicle or meet with one of our salespeople. Please don’t hesitate to call (812) 577-9048 with any questions you may have.

Unmatched Quality. High performance. Premiere safety. Reliability. Longevity. These are just a few of the many criteria that we as car owners expect from our vehicles. Luckily, there is a car manufacturer out there that delivers you all of these key aspects and many more: Mitsubishi.

 

Since the introduction of the Mitsubishi Model-A in 1917 (the first mass-produced car in Japanese history) the Mitsubishi brand has been devoted to bringing drivers the latest in technology, design, and security.  Every vehicle that has been developed since the historic model A has been the definition of state-of-the-art and groundbreaking. The Macu Grand Prix in 1962 became Japan’s first aerodynamically tested vehicle while the world’s first electronically controlled traction control system was introduced by Mitsubishi in 1990. That’s 100 years of innovation, sophistication, superior workmanship, and celebrating milestones other manufactures aspire to achieve.

 

Here are a few reasons why Mitsubishi will remain a top car manufacturer for the next 100 years.

 

Mitsubishi is on the Forefront of Technology

Mitsubishi has a history of introducing revolutionary technology to each of its models. All-wheel control, super all-wheel control, MIVEC engine technology, and Invecs adaptive shift control are just a few of the innovations pioneered by Mitsubishi that keep you driving comfortably, elegantly, and, above all, safely.

 

Mitsubishi is Known for Fresh Concepts and Innovation

The car designers at Mitsubishi sure know how to seamlessly integrate the latest and greatest technology into their vehicles. Cars such as the eX Concept, the Concept AR, and the MiEV Evolution II help Mitsubishi live up to its reputation as the brand that introduces and celebrates milestones. Fresh models like these and many more will keep drivers like you excited to get behind the wheel on your first ride or 1,000th ride.

 

The Mitsubishi Confidence is Unmatched

No brand takes care of your vehicle, or wants it to have a quality lifetime, more than Mitsubishi. Expressway Mitsubishi customers love the 10-year/100,000 mile powertrain limited warranty, which can protect their vehicle from potential and costly repairs, from engine replacement to transmission replacement. Mitsubishi is also proud to offer roadside assistance to get you back on the road as quickly and safely as possible.

Hype Worthy: Introducing the new Lancer Limited Edition and the Outlander Sport Limited Edition

There are certain events that don’t live up to the hype. This is not one of those events. Mitsubishi continues to prove itself a juggernaut in innovation and style with its release of two exclusive, limited edition models.

In the coming months, Expressway Mitsubishi will be introducing two new exceptional vehicles on the lot: the new Lancer Limited Edition and the new Outlander Sport Limited Edition.

Intrigued? You should be. The Lancer Limited Edition is a truly exceptional car.

The new Lancer Limited Edition is also equipped with a 6” touch screen radio, a state-of-the-art rearview camera, and a first-class navigation system.

The Outlander Sport Limited Edition matches the Lancer in style and usability. This car features dramatic styling with a bold edge and unbeatable technology. Some of the many unique details of this vehicle include 18” black alloy wheels, Android audio and Apple CarPlay, and S-HID Headlights. But what do those features mean for you and your experience on the road? Let us walk you through it. Safety comes first with the added feature of S-HID headlights and halogen fog lights: no matter how treacherous road conditions may be, these lights will get you to your destination clearly and safely.

Winter Driving Emergency Kit for Your Car

January in Indiana can mean snow, ice, and a host of other weather conditions that make driving difficult and even dangerous. Being prepared is important.  Here are eight items you should keep in your car this winter in preparation for inclement weather.

1. Cell phone – Most of us don’t go anywhere without our cell phone nearby. However, it is important to ensure that your phone is ready to go with you when you are heading out in winter weather. Be sure your battery is fully charged and bring a charging cable, just in case your trip takes longer than expected.
2. 
   A full tank of gas – Even if your trip is only a short distance, snowy conditions can add time to your travels. Be prepared with enough gas to get you safely to your final destination (with extra to spare).
3. Layers – Mom always told you to dress in layers during the winter. If you are in your car for an extended period of time, layers will allow you to adapt to changing temperatures both inside and outside (if you need to leave your vehicle for any reason) of your car.  
4. Shovel – If you become stuck in a snow drift or ditch, a shovel could assist you in digging out and getting back on the road quicker. It can also help you avoid an expensive towing bill.
5. Sand – Icy conditions can make it difficult to get traction, especially if you are trying to get out of a ditch or drift. Adding a little sand around your tires can give you the extra grip you need to get back on the road.
6. Blankets – If you are stranded for an extended period of time, blankets will keep you warm until emergency assistance locates your vehicle.
7. Flashlight – Being stranded on a country road in the dark can require a little extra light. Keep a spare flashlight in your car at all times (not just in the winter).
8. First aid kit – This is another accessory that should be in your car all the time. Bandages, gauze and other emergency supplies could mean the difference between life and death if you are stranded for an extended period of time.

At Expressway Mitsubishi, your safety is our number one concern. If you are looking for a dependable winter driving vehicle, contact our team today.
