    They are good pretty reliable just make sure to check for rust if that's an issue in your area. I love driving mine. Just make sure to do the maintenance on it. Is it auto or manual and does it have a sunroof?

    i would say sounds good to me just watch milage and ive hurd and might be backed up by jogenmaru here.
    that the yellow and some other color on this model tends to fade pretty quickly

    Thats funny because it is yellow and is an automatic I believe.... And does have a sunroof. And like 130,000 miles....

    I would say pass it up but id have to know a price. Anything above 5k is too much. Especially with that mileage. Mitsus are good up to 300,000. Also, depends on its previous maintanence done to it. Im leanin more towards no with that milage. Im at 100 k now and that's after two trips to south carolina and one to north carolina. I bought it at 65k in 2009. So I've had the car for 2 years now.

    Oh also, if its an automatic it cost a lot more to replace the tranny vs a manual.

    Good advice... I told her to bag that. So she told me she found an 02 VW GTI with 86k miles for the same price... Guess I am taking her to test drive a V-dub

    if your worrying about things breaking, the lancer is way cheaper to fix than a vdyb ever will be

    They are a bit more expensive to fix than us but easier to fix than say the newer lancer or even the newer VW.

    Its all cool. I went to buy a black one and ended up with a yellow oz instead of an es. Kinda glad though.
