Long-time Evo & Lancer Lover, First-Time Buyer

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy my first car very, very shortly: a clean 03 Lancer with just 99k miles.

I've registered to these forums because I wanted to ask about what problems may occur on a Lancer, and get any other tips people may have (general maintenance, common car issues, the cost of repairs, the cost of parts, if parts were hard-to-find, modifications) etc. etc. The one thing I don't want to happen is to buy this car and then spend 2-3 grand on repairs!

This was also the largest online Lancer community I could find. I hope to learn a lot here!

Thanks,
- D
