I had a Mitaibishi Lancer ... back in 2006. Bought it brand new, paid $14K for it out the door. It was a 2.0L 4 cylinder, 4 speed automatic, a POS. Six months later I traded it in for 13K and got a KIA Sorento that we kept for 7 years.
As amazing as it is that someone managed to keep this Lancer on the road for the last 17 years and 106K miles, it's still a worthless POS.
Let's put it this way: if nothing else will persuade you not buy this vehicle, then at the very least, consider the safety aspect. The 2006 Lancer is so poorly built that in case of an accident you won't be any better off than if you were driving an Eastern European vehicle from the late 80s or the early 90s.
Good luck!
