Used Mitsubishi Lancer for Sale

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 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.

From the front to back, this vehicle has a really sporty body. It handles the road very well and has excellent traction especially when using the 4WD. It excels in the snow in the most blizzardy conditions. You can feel it hugging the road which makes me feel very safe. Not only does it handle well in the snow, but I have also used the 4WD in rain storm weather and it prevents me from hydroplaning. The interior of the vehicle is very pleasing to me. I enjoy having radio controls and cruise controls all on the steering wheel. The radio has a cd player/Sirius Satellite option and 'easy to hook up' Bluetooth, which is necessary in a vehicle if you need to be on your phone, the stereo aspect of it is good quality, but not great, it gets some static if its turned up too loud. This is a very roomy vehicle and the drivers side has some flexibility with seating options. The back seat is fairly roomy as well. The back seats pull down to access the trunk, which has a good amount of space. In buying this vehicle, my number one priority was 4WD and it being compact. Speaking of the 4WD, I love that you can switch modes and use it as 2WD which is great for non hazardous weather and saves more on fuel, however, the fuel costs for this vehicle are excellent. The back up camera definitely gives this vehicle added protection.
