A rubber bumper MGB. Well, not the best MGB ever made. Strangled with emissions, a troublesome carburetor, and Lucas electrics. It's a perfect car for your channel Randy! You'll be working on it forever!

That Mitsubishi will fetch you good money after a good clean and cosmetic body work fixed , 5k at most

Show me your before and after results with Keeps and I’ll consider buying it 👩‍🦲👩‍🦲👩‍🦲

[@patwasinginman]

Maybe its not the fastest car in the world, but those Mitsubishi engines are bulletproof man. Naturally aspirated, quick throttle response ( with the manual of course ) and i really like the looks of the Lancer. I think its a really sharp looking car. The CVT is ehh, yeah, the stick is much more better.

[@racequad9]

If it's naturally aspirated of course there would be no turbo lag so a little redundant there lol. What are common issues for these cars?

[@patwasinginman]

@@racequad9Sorry. the turbo lag was a mistake, i edited it. Im not an expert or a mechanic, but we had 3 lancers in the family, so thats why i said they're good cars. We didnt have any major problem with them, only minor issues like MAP sensor or some blower motor issues.

[@racequad9]

@@patwasinginman I was only messing around. But thanks for the info. I want to look at a 2010 2.0 Lancer for a friend of mine for their 2nd home in Mexico. They're nice looking cars and it's manual which I have more confidence over the CVT.

[@TheKnightCougarBoi]

I had a 2011 Lancer I bought new. Kept it until last year when I had the itch for a newer car. Had 121k miles. Never had any issues with it. Might not be big muscle, but great car. I would average 37-40 mpg in mixed driving.

[@muhammedgurses8000]

I have 270k km lancer sportback and the car of the men

[@stevesamuel6603]

If there's any car I love daily driving, it's a Lancer and I currently have a Lancer GL 2007 with 300k+ miles and she runs perfect with regular maintenance. Great car for great deal . Surely someone refused this car without caring for it. It's worth saving and this is one one the best looking lancer model .

[@bernardnewsome806]

My 2017 limited runs awesome too no major problems so far it has 51k miles

[@kwesiassan6402]

Hi Steve, is it manual or automatic?

[@stevesamuel6603]

@@kwesiassan6402 Auto , though I'd love to convert to racing manual from the Gt's or Evo models but still good in the Auto as well .

[@kwesiassan6402]

@@stevesamuel6603 ok thanks. Would you advise I buy a manual?

[@stevesamuel6603]

@@kwesiassan6402 of course give it a try but I'd say better buy the 1.6L or higher trim model with manual there is a 1.3L model which basically the one I have in Auto but I'm not sure about the manual ones but I'm 100% certain the 1.6 or higher models with manuals are epic and awesome!!! , and best model for a manual option will be a GT . Now one last thing you can do instead is buy an auto and swap it to manual but that depends on your interest and affordability but they anyway are great reliable cars .

[@justinitdoesntmatter7515]

Service engine soon is different than a check engine light. It’s really just a light to remind you to change your oil, it’s usually based off of miles. You can manually reset it.

[@ToneHobart]

service engine soon is your oil check, you have to reset that

[@blaat1982]

This

[@ahmedbeyusuf2295]

Yep please see this

[@kellyspeppers]

Giving you extra points for bringing all the things needed with you. This car is just like every Lancer I have ever seen, rode hard and put away wet. CVT, no way, not touching with a 10 foot pole. Clean it and flip it.

[@matthewreed1078]

I love how people trash the CVT that has never had a car that had a CVT i had a black Lancer just like that one mine was a 2012 put 200k on it and had bought it brand new no issues at all

[@dancando6391]

Man. Thats the bread and butter for content. That Mitsubishi. I think you should do your best PDR and buff that out like you said. I dont think youre going to make any re-sell money off of it but I think the content will generate enough. Its a common car. Affordable car and its got issues people like to fix on their own So youll have plenty of pdr search hits. etc etc. I think its worth the time (no more money) to invest a couple episodes into tearing down the door, PDR, fixing the ABS issue (I think itll be an easy fix tbh) but... You got a good little car there. Cant wait to see that new car in the back. Im not the best at identifying them but... Spitfire maybe? idk. I like the vintage kick you are on but the next break down for revenue you share will kinda let us know where the interest is at. Take care! Ohhh. and just paint the wing. Weird Beard can prolly do it in a day. Just take it off. sand it. Take it down to him and have him hook you up with a cheap spray.

[@donmynack]

I would say that engine bay is totally original in the sense that its never been cleaned, ever.

[@Mister_6ix]

As a fellow "Lancer Owner" I think you did pretty good. Everything that you mentioned in your video is nothing to be worried about. The 4b11/4b12 engines are strong and easy to maintain/work on. The radio, you can easily swap a touch screen in it for $100 bucks. The bumper, if need be replacing, its a base model so new bumper is $70 on eBay. I would replace the battery terminals and check the battery or replace it. Pop the dent out and sell it for a profit. You did good bro! Love the video, also as a fellow beginner in the flipping scene, im learning a lot from ya. Thanks again!

[@matthewreed1078]

I had a 2012 Lancer base model like that one that I put 200k on and bought it new had no problems with it or the CVT at all I loved that car

[@Tillbilly]

The tpms light is normal for those cars , (download etac and disable the tpms system) I say you got a win for sure, I have a 2010 5 sps and love it ...

[@E_Static]

I have a 2010 sportback with the 5 speed manual. Of all the cars in my driveway it's the most reliable and has the lowest cost of maintenance.

[@matthewreed1078]

That Mitsubishi Lancer was the first car I had bought on my own it was a 2012 just like that and I put almost 200k miles on it before I sold it for a new car no issues love Mitsubishi

[@t3xxdoviii]

I have the same lancer but in orange, beautiful, beautiful car!

[@andrewlaw]

There's a reason Mitsubishi regularly finishes top of reliability surveys in Europe, they go forever if you maintain them. Push out the door, fill the bumper with chod and get Maaco to blow that and the rear spoiler over. Clean it up yourself, pick up a used battery at pick a part and move it on.

[@jeremyryan770]

Hey Randy maybe you should buy a PDR kit and try to get that door ding out, The kit's are fairly cheap and would save you having to remove the door trim and also provide some great content. Just a suggestion.

[@gs3504]

Those battery connections need to be cleaned before you try charging it, but you know that already...

[@danielcarter5579]

Man, I cant stress this enough as i just learned, been having starter connection issues so I thought it was my starter kept looking for 2 days and couldn't get car to start so we took cables off and the actual cable was just more corroded than it looked, separated the wires apart and took a brush to them, didnt have any hope this would have worked, but god damn the car started afterwards, so that told me I had to go get corrosion protection, i did and sprayed that shit all over. All good since

[@chickenyt4073]

For the lancer: try hot 🔥 water+ planger to pull out the dent

[@Achieveguy]

Randy I’m glad you’re back to buying and fixing cars that should be fun

[@InsaneBimmer]

I know we are all being respectful of your business and all I want to say is I'm really glad things are working out and loving the new garage! A far cry from the shack for the Dart project!

[@heartofdixie67]

Clean the battery connection and fully charge battery ! I’m betting the battery is dead and causing issues 👍

[@raedshomegarage1064]

Regarding all the error codes on the car ,, put a new battery in ,delete the codes and this will fix the issue

My Fiancée has a Lancer 2011 and it is a great car. If maintained, it runs forever.

[@nausticaz6845]

The service engine soon light has nothing to do with the P1773 code. It's basically a "change oil soon" light. There should be a way to reset it. There also might be a way to disable the TPMS sensors too. And if you want to go the extra mile, you might be able to get rid of the P1773 code by simply flushing and/or bleeding the brake lines. Who knows when that thing last had a brake fluid service done to it.

[@jrsgarage7211]

Great content Randy!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@RobertSmith-me4kq]

This is why I started watching the channel. Glad to see another car to work on.

[@markfinnigan4994]

Randy, pour boiling water on your battery terminals to clean them up, some codes can be caused through poor voltage. Don't think you'll make a fortune on this one but as you say its got good bones

[@rcenthusiast7130]

If the Mitsubishi run and drive well it’s a good car for someone that doesn’t care much about look.

[@rcenthusiast7130]

Lots of people are spoiled and this car in that specific shape some people wouldn’t like it. Probably why it ended there in the first place. I have nothing against lancer i think their great cars. Not forgetting the EVO

[@alfyer5]

You can use baking Sosa mixed with water on the battery connections. Will clear it up real good

[@stacywarren5899]

That is a beautiful MGB in the the background. I presently have a 1979 MGB they are a fun little car to drive on back country roads.

[@shockcity28]

I have no idea why everyone hates on mitsubishi in north america. My 2012 Lancer has over 260k miles and running strong. everything original just breaks, oil and fluid changes

[@heartofdixie67]

2 things Randy... Why didn’t you just stop by the gas station when you left IAA and clean up the battery cables before you left home to get the battery back up ?

[@General.Longstreet]

$600 in fees! Thats outrageous. Makes it almost impossible to turn a profit.

[@TechReviews2010]

Outright greed.

Keep your head up Randy!! A little cleaning and that car is going to look better!!! Do it for the channel!!!!

[@chronoboat11]

Did you clean the battery terminals?? Battery won't charge unless ckean....

[@deancarter990]

Randy, I think that Mitsubishi is a great car for a quick flip, but I agree with you that you paid a little more than you should, but any profit is profit even though it is not going to be a lot.

[@paulmckinney6163]

That's a nice car there. A little TLC and you should see a little scratch at the end. You know what I appreciate 🤔 your ads are tastefully placed and not overboard. Can't wait to see the finished product.

[@harleydude-xo8pu]

You won a dueschenburger, like the one Arthur got Doug and Cary for Christmas on King of Queens.

[@garycook2355]

The Mitsi may be a good flip car but you expected it to start without a boost with those awful corroded bat terminals? a good idea would to be to carry a cheap battery terminal cleaner with you, they are small and with modern cars having so many electrical appliences a good thing to do.

[@customautosales5170]

Get an Autel MaxiTPMS unit. Saw WatchJRGo use one so I ordered the TS501, no longer do I have to take my cars into a tire shop to program my TPMS when I swap wheels!

[@PhantomSunny]

Relatable content. Many of our cars here in the Caribbbean are JDM. The Lancer is one such. It's nice to see something close to home. Mitsubishi monitoring systems are probably among the craziest. The ABS light can be triggered by the simplest of things such as a blown fuse or relay or the most complicated such as sensors. In some of the systems something quite unrelated can trigger it too. Patience will be your friend.

[@daviddelgado5954]

I would have cleaned the posts first. It might have been a little bit higher in price BUT it IS a contender :)

[@neilmurphy845]

Well of course it's fair weak it has a cvt if you want power get a manual. Once you fix the ABS it'll turn off the tpms light

[@Its_about_that_time]

I have 170,000 miles on my GTS lancer. Still runs great.

Just a little information on the battery terminals....... For corrosion that bad, try Coke A Cola. It's a bit old school, but the acid in Coke cleans the terminals fairly good

[@lonwillis783]

Hello baking soda and HOT water cleans battery terminals like MAGIC. Clean the car yourself turtle wax cleaner works well.... Thanks Man

Just spend a few hours on the car. Clean it up. Take apart the door panel and push the dent out from the inside. Mabee touch up the paint with some spray paint. Can sell it. For at least 2g

if you use a heat gun on the door as you push out on it it will keep the paint from cracking and peeling
