Hey guys so I just fell in love with Lancer 2005 but that love is under pressure by factors like maintenance etc and I get the impression that parts availability is a problem? Can any Lancer owner confirm that or is this just another myth? Plus, what's the difference between GLX and GL versions. GLX seems to fully loaded and is that available in 1.3? Thanks!

Yes, there is problem of spare parts and for original parts you are left only with the Official dealers of the car, which sometimes charged the price upon their own preferences. But i saw very few lancers in workshops, it means that it is more durable and comfortable and luxurious car than other popular brands and do not need any spare parts if kept with care but the main reason for few lancers are it is not the market car.

Maintenance is expensive and the parts are available at the official Mitsubishi workshop. The difference between GL and GLX is the interior colour and the availability of arm rest in the latter and a host of other additional features. GLX is available in 1.3L.

Parts are easily available at spare parts shops in lahore and Rawalpindi.

It is a very reliable car. Suspension is great. A clean and maintained lancer won't take you to workshop every other day.

Market is slow but people who already own a lancer do not sell it easily

I totally agree with you I own a 2005 1.6 glx auto and its very reliable car parts are not that much hard to find even old ones are available I mean qabali as they called

That's good to know. Also are there any issues with CNG?

I owned a 1.6 manual. Cng average was 140+km in 55kg cylinder in Islamabad. On motorways it was 160-195km.

On gt road it was 200+. Drove the car 135k km in less than 16 months.

Drive was within Islamabad, till lahore, sargodha and village. Used it ALOT.

No suspension and engine problems what so ever.

And mind you, speed within city was seldom above 60.
Motorway, between 140 and 170.
Gt road, 100 till 130

Lancer has pathetic parts availability and resale.

2002-2006 lancer thailand model are available for 6.5-7 lacs max.

2007-09 Imported Japanese one with 1.5L / 1.6L & grey interior / navigation are available at 9-10 lacs max.

That's awesome bro!

I don't buy sell cars as a business so resale is not an issue for me. I like both Civic 2005 and Lancer 2005, Lancer just seems more high quality "everything-wise" ... if that's a word

Haroon_Tarar (Haroon_Tarar) 2013-07-06 18:54:41 +0500 #13

Resale isn't that bad. Those who have used and owned a lancer love to keep them.

I would buy a lancer any day whenever I would need another car for long term.

Go for it

Dont worry about re-sale someone would beg you to sell it off if you keep it in good condition

Lancer is a great car. I have a 2005 model and never felt the need to replace it. Spare parts need to be procured in advance from Dewan Motors though. I have a 2015 Corolla too but that's just a trash can compared to the lancer. Hard to like locally assembled cars once you've owned a Japan assembled one.

Parts is really expensive, once i visit Shafique Morr(Mini Shershah)(Karachi) to check the availability of (Kabuli) parts, and I asked about the price of Gear Box of 1.6 Auto, he quote me Rs: 50,000/= and other parts also very expensive and not available at this market. Then I quite lancer buying decision and go with 2004-5 prosmetic.
Please Confirm your side as well before buying this beauty.
