Is Lancer 2004-05 reliable for long routes?

[khokharusaf]

I am very confused in buying used Lancer. Because of low budget, I am finding Lancer to be most reasonable car to buy in under 10 lacs.

Can anyone guide me, will this car be worth my savings money or should I go for something common like Civic or Corolla.

My main purpose for the car will be driving inter-cities. So i am looking for comfort in long routes with minimum maintenance.

I don't know much about Lancers but there is a thread dedicated to maintenance of Lancers. Maybe you can ask the experts there.

It is about scavenging and storing parts for later use. Already have quite a few things in access and my mother on every sunday shouts at me coz my room has become a garage.. You are absolutely right about that. the Chrome trim looks almost complete on this car. plus this has the same door mouldings as mine. i bet, i would have all of the parts i required from that scrapper under 15000.BUT UNFORTUNATELY I AM NOT HERE TODAY

Any car up to date on all maintenance will be reliable. If the car you buy hasn't been kept up to date on maintenance (which is true for 99% cars in the market), you'll have to undertake a mid-life overhaul on the car and get all the work done yourself. Once that's done, you'll have a reliable and enjoyable car.
