i was at pick n payless the other day
how annoying is the new system
it was so much easier when all the mirages were together.

This^^^

Its better in other ways though, when you go there, you can ask them for a print out of all mirages, and it will tell you the location and colour of the car.
You can also go on there website now, and look through the catalogue of all the cars on the lot, and also view picks and see what has already been sold on the car.

They also have computers there now, and I believe you can enter your car and what part you want, and it will print out the locations of the cars that have those parts remaining.

But yer, I hate walking back and forth across the paddock.
 
I was out at PnP yesterday and my friend behind the counter gave me a list of all current CE Lancers and Mirages. I was looking for some parts to do a rebuild on a damaged 1998 CE I have just acquired (front end hit).

Either way you can now look up PnP stock by going to their website

http://www.picknpayless.com.au

Scroll down, select "Mitsubishi" then the model you are interested in. Parts that have already been sold are listed and there are photos.

Only caveats are ...

Stock list is behind current stock availability
Most photos are before the car hits the yard
Parts sold also behind current state of the car

However, still a better system than driving out there (even though I'm only 10 minutes away), using the touchscreen computers (they have two at the entrance), making a list of the cars and their lot numbers, and walking around to them, one by one, to see what's on them.

Anyway, here's the list

Mitsubishi Lancer 08/96 to 08/04

Silver Stock # 203
Red Stock # 358
Maroon Stock # 375
Silver Stock # 452
Blue Stock # 691
Red Stock # 696
Green Stock # 925 - its a wagon
Silver Stock # 993

Mitsubishi Mirage 06/96 - 08/04

Blue Stock # 357
Silver Stock # 393
Blue Stock # 397
Red Stock # 504
Blue Stock # 686
White Stock # 994
Blue Stock # 1079

So as you can see, spread out all over the yard since PnP adopted their new system of mixing cars up, applying Lot Nos to each, and using computer listings.

Pricing

Here's some indicative pricing on parts I requested

Guards $70 ea
Headlights $50 ea
Cnr Lights (Early model) $18 ea
Bonnet $125
Boot (no spoiler) $80
Spoiler $45
Radiator $65
AC Condensor $45
Front Bumper Bar $100 (foglights extra)

Cheers,

PS. My first post and I hope it assists someone!

PPS. Be careful taking photographs at PnP. They will ban you from the yard if they catch you as there are specific warnings before you go in that taking photographs is not permitted! I know you think you are doing people a favour but now that they have online photos on their website, it makes the risk less worth it. Only my suggestion of course!

$100 for the front bumper seems very excessive considering you can buy them brand new for $95
 
brand new from where for $95?
definitely not genuine at that price, in which case good luck making it fit properly.

Yeah, I thought so too, but they are on eBay for more than that, about $135 (from memory) and probably not as good a fit as OEM.

Other prices seem reasonable by comparison.

As for the new computer system thing, Ive gotten over it. while it still a pain in the ass to walk across the paddock all day, i now get email updates when new cars arrive in stock.

I have alerts for all Lancers,Protons, Magnas.
 
Yeah, like they would object to Tron's work, assisting them to sell parts !!!

It's not the Lucas Heights Nuclear Facility or ASIO.....
