Feel for any hesitation or vibration from the gearbox, or any nasty, metallic noises from it or the engine. Lancers have long been favoured by the young so avoid modified examples. Check for accident damage, excessive dings or worn rubber.
There was a recall in October for acceleration delays due to the CVT and another in October for a power relay that could burn out and stall the engine. You may find a or model but it will feel a decade old.
Rivals give much more for similar money. As expected with its rallying pedigree, it drives and handles well. The 2. The expert says. My answer is dont buy a model lancer, secondly most of the the lancer users never sell their vehicles because they buy this car for style and ready to spend as much as possiblle to make it look more attractive, so the user must be selling this because his car must be having a major issue and the odo meter showing kms is less as he must have driven more than 1 lac kms so the meter simply looks to me as tampered, one more thing all the electric and body parts like the central lock, power window and handles and other things need to be checked, please open the set cover to see what lies beneath it and also look beneath the foot mat below to see how much the body has worn out than you will come to the conclusion and to support it ask any bank they do not finance any lancer car below model what will be the reason for that, simply analysis this points and take your decision lastly hear the jerk when you close the doors Rgds Shashank.
Dear Shashank, I am buying that car for 1. I know that the car has clocked more than 1, K. I am willing to spend another 30 K, to restore this car if any unfound irregularities appear after I purchase the same. Now just let me know whether my move to buy it is a wise one or not. I welcome your suggestion as I always respect it.
Further also let me know what price I can pay for a used Mitsubishi of make. Thanks a lot for being honest. Do reply. This is the pic of the car I intend to buy. Let me have your opinion. Shashank Patil Mitsubishi Lancer Owner. Dear Vishnu, Thanx for being so courteous, My remark on your mail is that when you end up spending more 30K ensure that it covers all cosmetic changes , body part changes and also the spare parts and when you spend up about 1. Happy buying and driving.
Dear shashank, I am also a sensitive person like you and buy the car using my heart over head. I have a Safari also which I like a lot and never sell it coz it has never let me down. Rest of my cars, I usually donate them to my friends at cost price after usage. I liked this car and want to retain it for another 3 more years and want to dispose off my Esteem for just 70 K. Many models ran a 2. Higher-end power came from the larger 2. A five-speed manual transmission was available, as was a continuously variable transmission, or CVT.
Lancer drivers often report pleasing handling reflexes, strong safety ratings, solid performance, and overall value as key factors in their satisfaction. Mileage, on-board space, and a laid-back highway ride are also noted. Some owners wish for less wind noise at higher speeds, a smoother ride on some models typically the sportier variations , and for better interior lighting after dark.
Others wish for more upscale materials, citing a cheap and plasticky feel to certain parts of the interior. Sportier drivers will do best with a model with the manual transmission, as numerous drivers report lazy and sluggish acceleration from models with the fuel-saving CVT transmission. The seller of a used model exclusively serviced by a single dealer or shop may be able to obtain all service records from that establishment by asking for them.
If full service records covering the entire life of the vehicle are not available, you may not be able to meet an important warranty requirement: proving that all maintenance, inspections, and fluid changes have been completed on time. Contact a service advisor at a Mitsubishi dealership for the specifics. Note that the much-advertised year powertrain warranty is valid only for the original owner of the vehicle; subsequent owners are covered instead by the five-year "new vehicle" warranty.
If the unit you're looking at has any powertrain issues, make sure all necessary work is completed before you sign any paperwork. Do not buy a used Lancer from somone who has skipped or stretched any maintenance, and note that use of non-factory fluids and filters may void remaining powertrain warranty coverage. The changes kept coming thick and fast with some trim levels replace others and, finally in , alloy wheels and keyless entry became standard across the board.
A check-engine or ABS warning light on the dashboard can be the first sign, but if it occurs, a new pump is usually the only fix. One of those concerned a dud valve in the brake booster system which could, in some circumstances, leave the car with no brake assistance. The brakes would still work, but would need a bigger push from the driver. Assembly problems at the factory in some cases led to damaged tyre sidewalls, and the gearshift in manuals could fall apart.
Some cars were also recalled to fix a poorly made accessory drive belt which could fail, leaving the car without power steering. On the electrical front, the Lancer was recalled to fix poor switch contacts that could see the lights or wipers fail and to cure a potential stalling and limp-home mode problem.
The other thing working against the Lancer to an extent is a lack of independent safety stars. Cars with the optional side-curtain air-bags scored five stars, while those without were left with just four stars, taking the shine off an otherwise great car for younger drivers.
