Summary

Mitsubishi Lancer 2004 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Mitsubishi Lancer 2004: VIN JMBSNCS3A4U010396, model year 2004, mileage 333k km, газ пропан-бутан / petrol engine, ручна / manual gearbox and an asking price of $4,400. Such a check helps to quickly understand how well a specific car matches the market, whether the price looks suspiciously low and whether the mileage is typical for this year.

Insight: The car is over 15 years old — budget for maintenance and inspect the body and anti-corrosion treatment carefully. High mileage — check the service history and the condition of the engine and gearbox. LPG is indicated — verify the legality of the installation and the registered conversion.

Market position

Based on current data, 40 similar offers were found for the Mitsubishi Lancer 2004 (same model and year). Market prices range from $2,200 to $11,150 with a median of $3,500, and this offer is about 31% above the market estimate (this car's estimate ≈ $3,365). This is not always a problem, but such a difference deserves extra attention to the car's condition, documents, registration history and possible bargaining.

Insight: The price is well above the market — make sure it is justified by trim and condition. Many analogues on the market — easy to compare prices and pick the best offer. Sale speed is assessed separately. Wide price spread — the final value depends heavily on trim, condition and mileage.
