after months of search i got a used lancer according to my expectations.

its an 1999 model , GLXd, metallic silver, lancer. with stock accessories.

tyres: good
interior : good
suspension , engine, gearbox : good
body line , originality : good
paint is good, though its overcoated. it looks like original (dupont)

i drove the vehicle and my mechanic too drove in potholes and bends etc. and he found satisfied with engine, gearbox performance. me too ok. AC was good.

but the ODO is 399000 kms. its been ovehauled at 3 lakhs it seems. and the engine looks and feels like new. so they must have rebuilded the engine, else the performance wont be like this at this 4 lakh kms.

price offered for 3.2 lakhs, but we offerd 2.9 lakhs. since its single owner and its good piece. because in four months of search i never came across a lancer of 99 model below 3.2 lakhs, that too not upto the mark. Is it worth?
