Used Mitsubishi Lancer for Sale

I financed this car after owning a beautiful 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse. I had my first child in 2003 and found that the hatchback in the Eclipse (and the fact it had two doors) was difficult to get an infant car seat out of multiple times a day. Once my son moved up to a booster type seat with the bar that came down and locked, I found the bar couldn't go all the way up - it would hit the ceiling, thus having my poor child maneuver at odd angels to get into his car seat. I went back to the same Mitsubishi dealership and inquired about their bigger sedan. My credit didn't allow me to finance one but they introduced me to the Lancer. It was smaller but with only one child, I felt it would be enough for us. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the car. It drove similarly to the Eclipse and I didn't feel as though I was driving a "bus" compared to the two door I once had. I purchased it around the time the "2 Fast 2 Furious" movie came out so I was constantly asked if it was THAT kind of Lancer. So it was definitely a conversation starter! Going from a previously bright cherry red car to a black car, I was scared about the interior getting hot but found it was no more hot that any other car.

The Lancer is a very good car. Even when checking other reviews, it is obvious that it is just built to be good. Dealerships are actually seeking these vehicles out and are willing to pay more for trade in because of the popularity. Over the seven years that I have owned this vehicle, with over 100k miles it hasn't yet had major issues.

I like the durability of my Mitsubishi Lancer since I have owned it I haven't had to have any major service done on the car except for one time when the radiator had to be replaced. Other than that regular oil changes and routine tune ups have kept me running smooth through out my time with the vehicle. The brakes took a bit of getting used to at first they were a little touchy. After about a week I was comfortable with the action and it was not an issue. Another positive is I leave early for work and it warms up fast in cold weather there is nothing worse than a car with slow heat and defrost where you have to start it 10 or 15 minutes before you plan to leave out fortunately that is not a problem with the Lancer. It's a very fun car to drive it fits my frame well and everything seems to be in the proper place .The seat belts don't feel like there too constrained and I don't feel awkward when reaching for the turn signals or the shifter. The radio is not that great but what can you expect from a factory system. I chose not to change it so I can maintain the resell value.
