Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- Many journeys are local or relatively short: petrol can fit that use without choosing diesel just for occasional long trips.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 23 years old and 80 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
Most 2003 Lancers are naturally-aspirated petrol engines (1.5–2.0 litres in Europe) with conventional timing belts and a manual gearbox — not the turbocharged Evo. There’s no diesel DPF or hybrid battery to worry about, but you should confirm the timing-belt replacement history and expect clutch wear on a 23‑year‑old car. Mitsubishi mechanical parts and common wear items are generally easy to source in Ireland, though values for older Lancers fall quickly.
- Timing belt and water pump service history (confirm replacement interval was followed; age-related replacement is essential).
- Clutch condition and gearbox synchros (ride the clutch, test 1st/2nd engagement and listen for crunching or whining).
- Rust around sills, inner wheelarches, rear arch lips and underbody — look under the boot and around suspension mountings.
- Suspension bushes, shocks and steering tie-rod ends for play or clunks (common on older cars in rough Irish roads).
- Cooling system and oil leaks — check hoses, radiator, thermostat and look for signs of past head-gasket or coolant loss.
