I'm thinking about buying a lancer probably a 2003 i was just wondering how are they? do they drive good? reliable? cna you put an evo engine in it? and how much did you guys pay for your lancers jjust trying to get a price idea

 

It's all here man, when you search. If you can't figure out the search feature, private message me and I'll explain. Lancers are great cars for the money. They are cheap, reliable, and can look good / perform reasonably if done right. They are slow though, but coming from a neon I think you will enjoy

welcome!

 

woops double posted, dumb internet

 

my neaon actually picks up good speed lol but yea the lancer looks good and im sure itll be faster if you put a evo engine and a turbo on it

 

I have 03 Lancer i bought in Nov 2006 with 1950miles on it. I bought it for 13500 out the door with full warranty. It was demo car though, (very clean) So far i haven't had any problems. I am very satisfied with lancer even though it lacks power. You should should able to pick one for anywhere from $6000-$9000 depending on the car's situation. But lancers are pretty reliable. Let me know if you have any questions!!

 

whats the difference between the lancer and the rally

 

RallyArt is later model ones but interior still looks same, just body parts are little different, mostly head light. But RallyArt version has better engine, More horse plus they are Mivec Engine. Similar to Vtec on honda. If I compare to the Civics; Lancer=Civic, RallyArt=Civic SI, You should look for Used Lancer RalliArt. They have better potential than Lancer

 

im in the price range of 6 or 7,000 i dont think there are any ralleys for that they start at 13,000 right?

 

yeah for that price, you will never find a ralliart!! Look for OZ lancer though not es or ls, since OZ has little better option compare to ES & LS

 

can i get an oz for 6 or 7

 

mabey an 02 or 03 with some miles.....

I have an 03. 32k on it. no issues except my cd player just **** the bed. Car is fun. low on power though.

 

picked mine up for 9 A little over a year ago with 82,000 miles on it an 02 oz thunder grey without the stock spoiler. just hit 100,000 miles and i love to drive it slow maybe but i would much rather drive it than a freaking mustang plus you dont seethat many lancers around.

 

im not really looking to race it i do want to hook it up tho

 

I bought my 02 for 13.9 OTD new (8 miles on it) back in may of 02.

I've driven 33k miles on it an never had a problem (except when I hit a deer, cost about 1k to fix) I get 33-34 MPG on the highway.

 

I got my 06 ES for 12k OTD in October of last year...I agree that these cars are fun, with limited power, and if you have the funds/dedication to your car, you can push it to 250-300 XD.
