Hello,
I would like to buy from a dealership the 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS with a Manual Transmission, with 150000 km, selling for 4,000 Canadian dollars is a good deal ???
🙂
I would probably not purchase an old Mitsubishi product. Parts are expensive and hard to come by and the build quality on those was average at best.
Scotty has said bad things about Mitsubishis, and I was curious - the US National Highway Traffic Safety Admin. has a bunch of recalls for this car:

And there seem to be a lot of unhappy customers as a result https://www.carcomplaints.com/Mitsubishi/Lancer/2009/engine/engine.shtml
I'd keep looking
Look, it’s not the best possible car and the price is kinda high but at only 90,000 miles (as you said 150,000km), they can be decent.
A friend of mine had that generation lancer, it wasn’t the world’s most reliable car by any means but until 140,000 miles it didn’t have any serious issues (that one had the automatic)
If you can get the price lower (although, in my personal opinion, 3000 American is already not too overpriced), and if you’re fine with a car that will probably last you just another 30,000-40,000 miles before developing serious issues, you should consider it.
it’s better than Chevies, old KIAs or old Hyundai’s - although the lancer is a budget car and quality can be quite mixed on those.
Most people don’t have much experience with Mitsubishi. during the late 2000s - early 2010s they were built not terribly, engines were actually very solid.
After they went though a financial recession, and got bought out by Renault; quality has plummeted.
But it must be said that their newer models are dogsh**** reliability wise. It’s just the older manual lancers and very specific versions of the old outlander that should be trusted.
Yeah thanks for the advice actually I really want something different not the average the civics and corollas.
I really interested to try it hope the frame is not corroted or anything like that, because the deals looks really good.
Glad to hear that helped 😄
I’d also advise a simple compression test before buying it. The engines are usually solid but you never know…
