Confused.......Buy or not..?

Hi All,

Recently we visited a shop as my friend want to buy a second hand 800. There I saw this lancer which is in very good condition.

It’s a 2002 lancer SLXi Black Color@2.10Lak.

I like this car. It’s not necessary to buy me this car but I love lancer from the day one when it was launched here in India.

Does u recommend it? What about after sell service?

Also after 1 year what will be its resell value?

What average I can expect from this car?

I am sure that if I purchased this one then defiantly I will modify its exterior (put Skirts & rear wing on it..thats all).

What average I can expect from this car?

Is it worth to buy this car?

I stay in Mumbai & only on weekends I will drive it as we have a Wagon R.

So can I bet on this car which will not be risky?

I am sure that this lancer is in excellent condition,

From all my friends I got some mix responses. Here are some of them.  

1.      Buy It.! It’s your choice but then be ready for its heavy expenses.

2.      This car doesn’t have any resell value also average is less than 9 & its outdated model. Spare parts are not easily available. (Guys I’m talking about 2002 Model).

3.      How many have you seen on Mumbai roads? Who will buy when u want to sell it? ( In first I am thinking that I will keep car for 1 year but if I like it then may be next 3-4 years also)

4.      Go for it without hesitation. It’s a good luxury car at so reasonable rate.

5.      The most common suggestion is go for Hyundai Accent. It’s a good car & has a gr8 resell value than lancer.

Gentlemen’s I can’t decide that should I go for it or not? & need your help.

& to be more frank this car is in immaculate condition maintained by the company.

If this is not then may be I will not buy lancer again.

Sorry that I am asking so many questions.

But need your Co-Operation.
