I came across this Lancer EX 1.6 2015 with around 192k km mileage for 17,000 AED
if the car is clean and only minor maintainance is needed like usual oil and filters , no major work is needed - is it worthy?
I plan to have it for 1-2 years max

Also, what are the main things I should check on a Lancer with this milage before buying?
Would appreciate opinions from people who owned one
thanks

I’m looking for a trustworthy Honda specialist garage to inspect and quote repairs for a 2018 Honda Jazz before purchase.

The car has around 157k km and passed a pre-purchase inspection, but the report showed several issues like

• Front accident + rear accident history
• Front and rear bumpers replaced
• Hood/trunk/rear panels repainted
• Front lower beam/subframe bend
• Control arm bushings need replacement
• Spark plugs + filters + engine belt need replacement
• Injector cleaning recommended
• Airbag light appears to have been turned off/reset
• Check engine light was ON during scan
• Gearbox estimated at ~75%
• Engine estimated at ~78%

The car price is currently around 17.5k AED.

-Is this still worth buying as a temporary 1–2 year daily car?
-What would you estimate as realistic repair costs in Dubai?
-Any recommended Honda specialists or suspension/chassis garages that actually know these cars well?

Would appreciate honest opinions from people familiar with UAE used cars/Honda Jazz ownership.
