is a lancer 1997 GL at 240K worth it?

the mechanic said na maayos na maayos ang makina at pati pangilalim eh orig pa ang undercoat at malinis na malinis pa, i'm actually planning to sell it after 2 years siguro.. just making sure na kung sakali i can re-sell it atleast sa hindi talong halaga with the things i'm planning to add like mag wheels, install a sound system atleast at pa-power windows ko. Plus na yung red ang kulay ng auto since i'm planning to get a red, yellow or black, otherwise papapalitan ko. Pero tatawaran ko nga :-)

There's a good reason behind that if i may just add.

At the end of the day, go with what your comfy with... I think you can still bring down the price since 240K is a bit on the high side for that model IMO. 50K is also quite low for the mileage of a car that old so check for service records and the like. Especially if your friend's friend is in the buy and sell business or if he's not the first owner anymore.

Goodluck.

thanks vinj, but i'm eyeing at a lancer talaga eh... although karamihan ng nag-sa-suggest specially sa mga "baguhang" katulad ko eh to get a toyota pero dami na kasing toyota eh.. kung kaya ko nga lang eh civic kukunin ko pero (97-up) pero liit lang pera ko kaya lancer muna. So you think 240K is too much? kahit na maayos ang lahat? mileage is less than 50K

yung milage kase sa odometer pwede i-rollback yan, saka hindi rin accurate gauge yan ng condition ng car. merung mataas na yung mileage pero sariwa pa rin kase well maintained. about the corolla, nagkalat talaga sa kalye yun, pero ang advantage mas maraming parts kaya mas mura maintenance. saka mahal na gas ngayun kaya advisable 1.3L na carb, diesel, or 1.5/1.6 na EFI.

after 4 days since I last posted a reply.. well, i finally bought it. i was able to lower the price at 235K.. I'm pretty happy with it. oks naman.. now I'm thinking about setting the baby up! sariwa pa naman lahat ng makakita, pati sa talyer na pinagpa-check-up-an ko. ano kaya ang magandang unahin? sabi ng iba interior muna, yung iba exterior.. hhhmm..
