"Lancer" without trouble

Great time: the odometer has almost continuous zeros, there are no breakdowns, age-related diseases, chips and dents of the current Lancer of the current, tenth generation still ahead of the sparkling burgundy metal metallic. Different roads and climatic conditions, comparative tests, expenses and in a word, a whole life that cars acquired for long -term tests live in the editorial office. In the meantime, the riveted and buried Ulan is looking at the streets with interest, and several times a day I hear the question: how much does it cost? You can’t immediately explain what the price is now determining for choosing a model, but a line up to a year (depending on the configuration). I really did not want to
fasten in the tail and wait a few months. But here, by the way, the daughter Rolfa company Blo-Fish, who offered a favorable, at first glance, exchange of the previous Lancer for a new one, made itself. Why is the blue fish appear in the name, it doesn’t take it more important to explain that the delivery time of the car looked attractive. The main condition for the alleged transaction is the complete transparency of the life of your car. If this condition is met, it is necessary to pay for the examination (about 1400 rubles) and, having gained patience, spend a couple more hours on a detailed study of an old friend.
The editorial of the 2003 Mitsubishi-Lenser (1.6 liters, mechanics, mileage of 107.5 thousand km) was estimated at $ 9126, that is, at 800900 cu cheaper than we expected. The cause of the non -working air conditioner (in one of the last runs, the tube is interrupted with a stone), and the cabin, according to the expert, needed a small dry cleaning. Do not agree? Go to trade yourself on more favorable conditions for yourself (according to our estimates, plus approximately 12% of the cost of the car). We signed the merchant. A month later, the tenth Ulan in the Invite+ configuration (1.5 liters, 109 hp, mechanics, 512 952 rubles, about $ 20,500) began service in our park. The purchase was not perfect. Today, even in the well -functioning mechanism of Rolf, sellers do not disdain the principle and take it like that. It's not about discounts and gifts. It’s just that the car has become more expensive, richer, and the attitude towards you, on the contrary, is more ordinary. But the prices for additional equipment are stable. A traditional set of alarm, rugs and engine protection cost 23,272 rubles. Against 23,288 rubles. Back in 2004, but ... then a radio was also installed on the car.
The new Mitsubishi-Lenser is larger, more attractive, more interesting than its predecessor. But will he be the same unpretentious hard worker or will it be more than a pezhon? Over time, we will find out
New Lancer for $ 11,000? It is possible if you have a car of the previous generation at hand.
