This was my first car and while it was not perfect, I learned a lot about maintainance and car repairs because of this car. Despite the emergence of faster and more fuel-efficient cars, the great thing about the Mitsubishi Lancer is the durable 4G18 Engine also used for Mitsubishi Montero models. This is a reconditioned car with reconditioned engine by Top Ace Motors. No engine block issues were found. Most parts of this car are brand new from handbrake shoes to rotors, and even the bypass hose, water pump, timing belts and serpentine belts are brand new. The radiator, AC condenser and AC Evaporator are also upgraded to sturdy aluminum type ones. It's gas and go with brand new tires purchased in 2025, and not used much since I own a 2020 Hyundai Accent as well. For practicality, I rate this reconditioned car valuable even compared to newer cars that have dirty intake manifolds likely. This is very clean and you will be shocked at how clean the Engine cylinder head is.
