sinc emy car is gone, i want another lancer. i'm looking at cars with around 30-40k on them. at what "k" (in engine milage) is the car gonna need extra maintainance, and other stuff.

thanks guys for all the help.

ps i want another cause i love posting here. and its so fun.

 

about 3 miles plus or minus .5 miles. i wouldnt go with a lancer with that many miles, they arent really known for their quality.

 

arent known for quality? i never heard that b4.

 

im always hearing of ppls mitsus falling apart like a domestic

 

what!!! i thought we had good reliable cars, like honda and toyota ect.

 

and if thats the case.

is there any way to help maintain my car???

cause i want to get at least 80k miles before i part with my engine or car.

 

Dont listen, there are plenty of Lancer owners on these boards who will attest to the quality of the Lancer. I swear, one person says the sky is falling and watch out......

 

mine has 33,000 and its still solid as the day i bought it. all ive done is change the oil regularly. ive also raced it regularly too!

 

umm i have 35k miles on the lancer and it's running fine..

 

ok cool, i think i'm gonna get the oz rally instead of an es. will i have trouble witht he tranny or clutch or whatever???

 

i dont. and thats after MANY 3-4K drops.

 

drops in suspension right???

 

no, 3,000-4,000 launches. as in drag racing.

 

ohhh i see. reving before lauch. my bad i'm trippin.

 

going on 28k and only thing i had to do was get new air filter and brake pads....other than that OK!!!
