There is a Lancer ES @ a local Mitsubishi car lot. Quck run down on features....
Power locks/windows/brakes, automatic trans, fold-down seats, tilt steering column (not sure if standard?)
plus the usual AM/FM radio and CD player. OK it is a 2002 and has 70K miles on it.
They want like $7300 (thats w/ $1K cash or trade-in) for it and wondering if its good or ?
It'd be my first car. Not exactly the mechanical type so no clue as to if I can expect the engine
to keep going strong at 100K+ miles or what. Any comments on that? Thanks :D

kelly blue book will be a big help for you.
In my zip code, the suggested retail value is $8860 in EXCELLENT condition, which it likely will not be. If you buy from a person instead of a dealer, the car will sell for between $6000 and $7300. The car is a base model and there are a lot of them out there. Beware, if you are not certain you will like the car, the trade-in value is only $4000-$5000 so sell private party. The dealer has plenty of negotiating room on a car like this, so don't go easy on them.( $4000- $5000 is the most that they paid for it plus reconditioning and smog)
