Also, what torque was it running? 350 lb/ft is generally deemed the safe limit on a standard engine. Beyond that there have been con rod failures on standard engines.
Maks do hold their money a lot better, if it is in very good condition and has a verifiable/believable low mileage then it is worth a few quid.
www.lancerregister.co.uk is the address for the Mitsubishi Lancer Register, a very busy forum with plenty of cars for sale, might be worth a browse to compare prices etc.
Hi mate cheers for reply. 1.49 bar seen max
I have located 3 of the 4 uk owners on the mlr so going to try calling one of them tomorrow. I'd like to kn ow how they verfy the mileage. It seems to be a known car and pics from 1 yr ago are MINTED. Car sold in dec 08 though for £9100! is that just because of the credit crunch?!

I wouldn't necessarily say MILES better. I'm not totally frs blinkered but they are brilliant cars! Most people just don't realise it!

Front brake discs warp fairly easily too.
These are very expensive cars to maintane and run, so bear it in mind.
