Summary

Mitsubishi Lancer 2008 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Mitsubishi Lancer 2008: VIN JMBSNCY2A9U000883, model year 2008, mileage 216k km, petrol engine, не вказано gearbox and an asking price of $5,350. 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.

Market position

Based on current data, 322 similar offers were found for the Mitsubishi Lancer 2008 (same model and year). Market prices range from $333 to $20,900 with a median of $5,700, and this offer is about 17% above the market estimate (this car's estimate ≈ $4,593). 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 above the market estimate — there are arguments for a discount. 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.
