2nd Gen Outlander Accessories((group buy)) - Page 3

Im getting one... under my circumstances, what else can I do...

I think your going to get every car you own the mesh set up........ twice.

at least twice a month for the next 5 months...

Not so great news from Japan. None of the Euro part numbers or accessories are available in Japan. The only accessories they can get are the ones listed in the Japan Outlander Catalog. http://www.mitsubishi-motors.co.jp/support/accessory/catalog/pdf/OUTLANDER.pdf
 
And, the part numbers for parts around the world are different, even for easy items like the mud flaps.
 
Prices in Japan are high. The silver plastic lower door garnish found on all JDM and Euro Outlanders is around $250, and then you still need to ship it.
 
 

The side door garnish doesn't come stock on all UK models. I'm buying the base model so I can spend loads on the bits I really want. I don't need Sat Nav, Sun Roof, third row seat, or electric front seats (I'll be the only one driving it, once seat is set it's set) etc etc. I'm having side door garnish as an accessory along with 19" wheels, side moulding, fog lights, mesh grill etc.

Thats a rip off. They have sweat shops over there and they are making stuff for a few bucks.
 
Zontarh..... the only problem with picking a car out down to the very last option is they dont come that way. You can pick and chose detail by detail on a website but its a matter of how mitsubishi put the car together. They put packages together how they think the public would buy them. Once you get into dealers installing and removing items, it gets pricey. That was my experience in the US. They said there wasnt a base model without the 3rd row seating with navigation within like 500 miles or so. Basically they were telling me it didnt exist and they couldnt find one. 4 dealers told me this. They said that if they catch one coming in at the right time that it could be modified at the port. Or they could send one back to the port when they got another shipment in and have it modified and then wait for another shipment to bring it back. They were talking months. I hope the UK is better with working out options. Thats how I got stuck with the 3rd seating, it was the only way i could get navigation.

would somebody tell george bush there is oil in japann so he can bomb them again...
THAT WAS JUST A JOKE...

The UK is completely different when it comes to ordering new cars. You pick the vehicle options that you want, some state factory fit some state dealer fit. The vehicle will be ordered by the franchise dealer from the manufacturer and will arrive as specified with all the parts fitted after an approx 3 week wait unlike in the US with dealers trying to swap with each other to find a close match, I'm not saying dealers don't buy from each other but not on the scale as in the US. I bought an E46 BMW coupe a couple of years ago which has endless options to choose from, the delivery date was 6 weeks but again comes direct from the manufacturer with all accessories fitted. At the time I was on a bmw forum and found the same thing there with the US owners, they couldn't get the things I had because they were limited to packages. But again I paid double for my car where as you guys were buying BMW M3's for thousands less.

Also with Mitsubishi UK, if you order your accessories with your Outlander, the vehicle manufacturers warranty covers the whole lot as one. If I want Nav I can have it along with anything else including the tumor on the front of the Warrior model or chrome door handles or mirrors, even normal tint or privicy glass, it's endless here but like I keep reminding you we have to pay

The accessories are still very new...chill and wait until some dork gets the stuff on Ebay like the 1st Gen Outlander.

I think the main problem here is mitsu is still trying to decide whether or not to continue US operations. It didnt want to sink boatloads of extra cash into a vehicle they werent sure was going to sell well, or into a market they werent sure they were going to stay in. I doubt if they have made up their mind still, but one thing is for sure, the outlander is selling really, really well for them, and if it keeps up, they will eventually give us the parts, and options we so desperatly want.
guess thats just the way it goes.

Oh Mitsu plans to stay in the US for as long as they can. How can you leave a market where almost every family has a car. Even a fraction of the American market is reason enough for Mitsu to stay. And rumors of Mitsu closing up is almost an issue of the past. They had steady profit for 7 mos straight now. The issue with the American market is that there is too much 3rd party available, not too many now but soon enough there will be, and I doubt it would be profitable for Mitsu to sell OEM accessories. How many LS and ES owners bought foglight kits, BT kits, Navi, RSE? If Mitsu brings those OEM racks and all the cosmetics facelift kits, how many Outlander owners will buy these items at a premium price? You know they won't be cheap, especially that they're imported items.

well... I dont know, but every single person on this forum has one, or more things they want from MITSU.
things that they sell in other locations, and EVERY single person would pay a reasonable price for them.
That may not be for each and every person that has bought an outlander, but it does echo a serious message. WE WANT. GIVE US.
One thing is for sure. If mitsu doesnt come to the table with the things we want, someone will, and when they do, we will buy them.
i dont know about everyone else, but I google search 07 outlander stuff almost everyday, just to see if there is anything, ANYTHING out there.
Mitsu came halfway with the outlander, They gave us a great, powerfull, capable vehicle priced right, with good options. On our end, WE bought it. They need to come the rest of the way, and give us the chance to buy the extra stuff they have.

And I do too, frequent visits to eBay to see if some Japanese accessories are for sale. I think what we (those willing to pay a resonable price) want is the availability, even on an order basis, and even with a 2 week wait time for the items to arrive. Personally, I'd rather buy Mitsu OEM parts than 3rd party.

Amen to that,
I couldnt possibly agree more.

Im the biggest ebay whore. I check for stuff everyday.

Just debadged my outlander ill take some picks, and post them on here. Any one know if 20inch alooys will fit on?

Yes, they will, head over to tirerack.com and they will list everithing that fits.
