Why there's never been a better time to buy a new car

03. Mitsubishi

Mitsubishi has its recently upgraded its range by adding a special seven-year or 150,000km warranty on selected models. The extended warranties aren’t standard across the brand, so now is a great time to have peace of mind and knowing they can be transferred to the next buyer, increasing resale values.

The Pajero Sport GLX automatic 4WD includes that warranty and also gets a huge $7096 price reduction at $45,990 drive-away.

The extra warranty is also included in the following deals, with the brand’s smallest SUV - the ASX - now at $24,990 drive-away for the 2.0-litre front-drive ES manual, saving $2965. This is the latest model ASX so comes with a heap of gear but if you’d prefer an automatic, that’s now $26,740, saving $3299.

For something a bit more stylish, and with a bit more room, there’s the Eclipse Cross with one version, the ES automatic with front-wheel drive, now $29,990 drive-away, a discount of $4217. These are a top small SUV with a bit of extra fun thrown into the driving experience thanks to the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine.

Lastly, the even bigger Outlander has a couple of discounted versions, opening with the ES manual five-seater with front-wheel drive and 2.0-litre engine at $28,990 drive-away and including the long warranty. This is a welcome $4700 off the normal price.

Probably a better bet is the ES with seven seats and bigger 2.4-litre engine - you may need the extra power to haul the seven occupants - with automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.

This is now $31,490, a hefty $4592 off the normal price. If you need all-wheel drive, the same features are in an ES AWD for $37,190 drive-away, putting an extra $1918 in your pocket.
