About to purchase a lancer 2005 glx 1.3

[ammarzubair]

as mentioned i am thinking about buying a lancer 1.3 2005 glx. mainly was looking for an auto car around 900k.

this car seems reasonable to me but just wondering overall are there any issues this particular model faces and what about parts availability. overall is it a wise decision to get a lancer.

Not a lot of issues other than idle motor (iacv) and radiator fan module. Rest is just normal wear and tear for a 1 year old car. How much work it gives depends on the previous owner. Try to avoid buying from dealers or cars that look too good to be true. Get something in modest shape and then rebuild it as per your budget and requirements. That way the parts quality will be better. Dealers (including home based) are just looking for a quick profit so use the lowest grade parts possible and you'll end up back at the workshop within 6 months of purchase.
