MITSUBISHI ASX maintenance and repair: easier than it seems. Mitsubishi Lancer X: pros and cons generation of X Dear Dear in Mitsubishi Lancer 10

Lancer is a typical representative of the long-lived model. The first cars with this name were born in 1973. It was called a70, but, for example, the Americans recognized him as Dodge Colt. Canadians Lancer is familiar with Plymouth Colt, and in some other countries he wore names Dodge Lancer, Colt Lancer, Chrysler Lancer and Valiant Lancer. Already in 1974, the "Flying Singh" (so called the famous Roll of Joggender Singha) on the sports version of Mitsubishi Lancer GSR 1600 won the Safari Rally. In the future, the GSR 1600 will become the winner in this race again and four times - in the Southern Cross rally. So the sports history of Lancer can only be envied.

The ninth generation took place on the conveyor in 2000, but in Russia, this Lancer appeared only in 2003. Why so long? The main reason was the complete failure of Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore on Euroncap crash tests in 1998. But still the car was improved, and three years after the presentation of the prototype, the premiere of the serial car was held. And held it in Moscow, at the international motor show. Lancer quickly won the location of motorists, but, as Alexander Sergeevich once wrote, "... And our grandchildren in good time from the world will be supplanted and us!". At the end of 2007, the Ninth Lancer was removed from production in connection with the release of Lancer H. But not long. Already in December 2008, the Lancer IX plant got up on the conveyor again, and since 2009 it could again be bought from dealers. True, now the Mitsubishi Lancer Classic nameplate appeared on it. The production lasted until 2011, after which the fans of Lanserov did not have anything else, how to buy cars of the tenth family. Which, honestly, is not at all like the Lancer IX hiking Lancer IX.

For all the time, dealers could have been purchased cars with 1.4, 1.6 and 2 liters engines, in three grades until 2008 and in two - Classic, the one that was revived as Phoenix bird, in 2009. Today, we are smuggling the Lancer 2004 release, with a 1.6 liter motor and a manual transmission. The hostess of the machine Nastya Bangiyeva was lucky: his friend Alexander's friend is engaged in serving her Mitsubishi. We do not know how it is reflected on the relationship of young people, but they immediately realized that a peculiar imprint on the attitude of Alexander was postponed to this car. The car's mileage is 192 thousand kilometers, which allows you to evaluate the operational properties of the ninth Lancer.

Engine

Otherwise, this 4G18 series of the Orion series is having to deliver the owner. The timing belt replacement is better to spend in the car service, the approximate cost of work together with the replacement of the pump will be 7,000 rubles. The price of the original roller - about 2,500, the original belt is about 1,800, but the pump is better to take the unoriginal: it is too expensive. The price of AIRTEX's details will be about 1,500 rubles.

Motor oil, if desired, can be replaced independently. There are no subtleties here, however, a little uncomfortable oil filter is located. The torments associated with this work with their own hands will benefit at 500-700 rubles. The cost of the filter itself is about 300 rubles per well-known analogue. The air filter can be changed and you can. This procedure is so simple that any person has two classes of education and at least one hand will cope with it. Top of the filter body, we fold two latches and - voila! I pull out the old filter and insert a new one. The cost of the filter ranges from 300 to 400 rubles. The issue of the cost of the work at a specialist of the hundred called a smile, but he was still able to at least somehow appreciate this work: 200 rubles. But you now know that they can be spent somehow more interesting!

If you opened the hood, then at the same time we see how to fulfill another procedure yourself, often causing difficulties among owners of other cars. We are talking about replacing light bulbs in the headlights. The owner of the Ninth Lancer must be grateful to the designers of the car, which made this operation simple, as a replacement of a paw in the usual sconce on the wall of your apartment. No need to remove the battery, air filter or headlight itself, just disconnect the connector and remove the rubber protective case. Access to the lamp is open, you can pull out the old lamp and put a new one.

Also, just if desired, change the spark plugs. We remove the connectors from the ignition coils, unscrew the bolts for 10, their fixing and then you can unscrew the candles. No difficulties cause this work. If desired, you can change the generator and air conditioner belts itself (which also drives the GUR). The cost of each belt is 400 rubles, access to them is quite free to replace - no nozzles interfere. Weaken the nut, shifting the tensioning roller on the guide, take off the belt. Photos will not - clearly do not remove, alas.

In cold weather, the ninth Lancer may have a problem with a thermostat. Usually it has to change it. But it is not necessary to hurry in the service, for this work on this machine does not require the skills of a professional car mechanic. It is attached by two bolts that are clearly visible. Get ready after replacing parts to add one and a half or two liters of antifreeze during operation during operation.

Salon and Body

However, it is convenient to sit behind the wheel of the lancer, the adjustments are quite enough, and adjust the steering wheel (the steering column is adjusted only by tilt) and the chair is removed immediately. The landing is so low that first there is a fear of wing pants about asphalt, but you get used to it quickly. The readings of the devices are read perfectly and their species resemble a worthy sports history of the car. A little uncomfortable is the parking brake handle: she sticks out closer to the passenger seat. The moves of the gearbox handle (we have a five-speed "mechanics" F5M41-1-R7B5) very short and accurate. But the pedals have long moves and, in my opinion, a little "empty". But you can get used almost immediately. But the actuation of the ABS at the speed of over a hundred kilometers per hour with the reason and without - it is still a mysterious phenomenon. Most likely, it's just a breakdown of the specifically of our car.

Motor, and aerodynamic noises, and tire noise are well audible in the cabin. It is still heard that the suspension rattle, but a little later.

What nuances of the cabin will useful to know every owner of Lancer? Most likely, about such a, for example, that the cabin filter changes in a few seconds, and for the sake of this, too, should not handle a hundred. Opening the glove box, look at its left side wall. There is a rectangular plug, which is actually a lid stopper. If you press it on the back side, it will fall into the "Bardac", and it will be possible to lean it by opening access to the salon filter. We unscrew two bolts, insert a new filter (it costs 400 rubles), and we buy everything that the soul will buy. Moreover, the reason to reward themselves for the works of the righteous now there.

And now we look down, on the floor on the left side of the driver's seat. There we see lever drives for opening trunk and gas tank trim. And they are most likely rusty. To prevent their final immobilization, they must be monitored, but in extreme cases they will help to reanimate WD40.

Weak Salon Lancer IX - Climate Unit. Namely - the drive handle of the heater damper. The drive cable has a tendency to be engaged, as a result of which it has to be changed. But very soon to do the replacement of the cable will not work. The fact is that over time, gear teeth and the drive begins to climb when adjusting the temperature in the lever. In this case, the cable must be changed along with the lever of the damper control.

In the repair of the front suspension there is one feature: ball supports are pressed into the levers and change assembly with them, when trying to replace them separately, the most unwanted outcome is possible: the ball can fly out of the lever. Also, a stabilizer stand changes with the lever. The lever assembly can cost from two thousand rubles for an analogue of questionable quality (according to the master, it is enough for it for a year) to five thousand for a good detail. Replacing the lever with a stabilizer stabilizer will cost approximately 1700 rubles.

Of course, all this is despite neither a complex transmission, nor for any type of automatic transmission, "Distribution" and other attributes of the "almost SUV" of high amenities. Compromise, to be honest, it is more difficult to find than a square root from a negative number, but there is no rules without exception. And, as it seems to us, Mitsubishi ASX can claim the role of such a car. With reservations and assumptions, but maybe.

Slightly stories

A person who consciously does not choose the car and does not read tons of useful and not very materials about crossovers, it is unlikely to pay attention to ASX. The car appeared in 2010, and for five years on the roads, she never became the subject of stormy design discussions, as, for example, controversial Nissan Juke.

Initially, ASX was supposed to become a car for those who love not ride a crossover, but to drive him in the tail and in the mane. The ASX letters themselves mean Active Sport X-Over, which, you see, provokes. In America, this car is known under the name Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, which leads to two thoughts immediately: first, it is Outlander, and secondly, sports. So it is, because the ASX platform has long been known exactly by Outlander XL, and at the same time on the tenth Lancer.

Recall that Outlander XL appeared in 2005, and the tenth Lancer - in 2007. Thus, by the time the ASX output, the platform was already nicely carved, moreover, the Citroën C-Crosser, Peugeot 4007 is built on it and, which may seem strange, Dodge Caliber. The ASX prototype was ready in 2007, but the car is produced from 2010, a year later the debut at the car market of his homeland. The first ASX motor was a 1.8 liter turbodiesel, but today the buyer can choose one of the three gasoline engines of 1.6 volumes, 1.8 or 2 liters, and in Europe all the same 1.8-liter diesel engine is available.

A gasoline two-liter engine produces 150 "horses". Machine with such an aggregate (model 4B11) and will be the subject of our study. By the way, the same motors are located at Kia Cerato, Kia Optima, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Elantra, Hyundai IX35 and Hyundai Sonata. Our car has a four-wheel drive and variator instead of the usual gearbox.

TO-1 The dealer will cost about 15,000 rubles. What is there? Change the oil, filters, conduct a control inspection. Actually, the set of work is quite standard and is not as folded to give so much money for it. Especially since all this is very easy to do. The cost of TO-2 The officials range from 35 to 40 thousand, but in another service the same work was rated at 15,000. The oil change is made in the same way as dozens (if not hundreds) of other cars. The oil itself is required, filter and sealing washer. From the tools - the end head is 17 mm. The filter is conveniently located, so no difficulties with work will arise, and the price of dirty hands will be about 600 rubles - they will take so much in the unofficial service. It is even easier to change the air filter. Here, however, it may upset the cost of the filter itself - about 1,000 rubles. But you can change it with one hand, even left and even if it grows not from the shoulder. All work is to fold two latches that are clearly visible from above, pull out the old filter and insert a new one. True, and in the service for this will take only 200 rubles. The drive of the gas distribution mechanism is chain, so there will be no question about its self-replacement. The chain resource is high enough, and, according to specialists, a hundred, the chain mechanism is made of reliably, premature stretching or other possible defects of the GD drive, they did not observe them. ASX gives an excellent opportunity to assert when replacing candles. The main thing is to find where they stand. Candles are closed with a plastic lid, which is fastened with three bolts with a head of 10 mm, and it is not necessary to confuse it with the engine casing. The cover you need is on the back of the engine. However, if difficulties arise even with her search, it is better to throw out the tool and never go to the car with keys in life. The ignition coils are standing on each candle, so you first need to shake the coil connector, remove it by pulling on yourself, and only then turn the candle. In the same way, you can replace the fun coil. In the car service, greedy men for replacing candles will take from 600 to 800 rubles.

Motor 4B11 boasts one of the longest drive belts of attachments. And independently change it - the task, to put it mildly, not the simplest. This is primarily due to difficult access to the belt. Of course, you can, but the description of this operation will take too much time, and the fulfillment of forces, so to replace the belt it is better to go to the service. The engine is not capricious, periodic failures of sensors and mechanisms is not sinned, so no subtleties simply exist. However, we recall that the hydrocomptic mechanism for regulating valve gaps in the motor is not, therefore, once in 90 thousand valves will have to regulate to a hundred.

Transmission and chassis

Everything would be just a chocolate, if there were not some drawbacks of CVT. We admit, the main of them is a resource and rejection of powerful motors. In general, within the framework of this article, we will not affect the subtlety of the variator's work, but we will not refuse yourself to recall how bitterly the fate of the CVT Union and the 3.5-liter motor Nissan Murano. Some owners of Murano squeezed before they put additional cooling radiators for variators, and everything in order to somehow stop their endless overheating. In the case of ASX, not everything is so bad. The variator, however, heats up and here. It is especially difficult for him under load and simply in the heat when the sun bakes and the temperature is more than 30 ° C. The car ceases to go, perhaps on gas. It remains only to wait for the variator cooled. Of the obligatory procedures for maintenance - oil change. Note that our car was released in 2010, and its mileage today is 130 thousand kilometers. The box overheated during this time, but it did not go out and everything works well. The only place to pay attention to the ASX owner is the rear semi-axes. On our Mitsubishi traces of fogging, which means that the glands are time to change. It is difficult to do this in the garage, so a visit to the masters of a hundred is obligatory. Work will cost 2,500 rubles, and it is difficult to call a certain price for a gland - you can buy for 300 rubles, it is possible for 700.

What can upset the owner of ASX? A sufficiently low resource has stabilizers. The spare part itself will cost 1,000 - 1,200 rubles, and for replacement, give 600. Unfortunately, the procedure will have to repeat regularly every 35-45 thousand kilometers. In our guarantee machine, the front shock absorbers changed. It happened in a year after the purchase, the last four years they work reliable. Nevertheless, complaints about them periodically slipk. The price of the shock absorber, as you understand, will depend solely from the choice of spare parts, so there is a big burnt here - from three to seven thousand. Do not forget the reference bearing, which costs about 1,800 rubles. The workshop of the work done will encine 1800 rubles (one way).

It seems that the car is not too dynamic: the motor when you press the accelerator pedal are ready to fall into hysterics, and this sound does not want to contact the overclocking dynamics. But looking at the speedometer, you realize that the speed is growing enough. And nevertheless, the desire to give the car kick does not pass. Perhaps the case in setting the variator: the motor has a pronounced "revolving" character (the maximum power is reached by 6,000, the moment is at 4 250), and the variator seems to want to remove the maximum characteristics from it. In addition, there is a feeling of lack of gear - they are simply not. In a word, impressions are contradictory. The speaker is not bad, but the car is a pity: it hurts it tries when the speed set. Separately, I note the brake: it is not always possible to determine the necessary effort on the brake pedal by car, which only sat down. But here everything is so predictable that it is simply impossible to be mistaken. Well, what can be done in the cabin? Of course, replace the cabin filter. It is behind the glove box. To provide access, it is enough to open the "glove box", to remove the limiter on the right side, after which the entire "glider" is easily removed. Get the filter and insert a new one - the work of three or four minutes, saving from your own performed work will be 500 rubles. We put everything in place and go to inspect the body.

• On the conveyor: Since 2007.
• Body: Sedan, Hatchback
• Russian gamma engines: gasoline, P4, 1.5 (109 hp), 1.6 (117 hp), 1.8 (143 hp), 2.0 (150 hp)
• Transmission: M5, A4, variator
• Drive unit: Front, full
• Restyling: In 2010, the total number of modifications is reduced, but after a couple of years a new engine 1.6 has become available and the front bumper is changed, the radiator grille, the front fog and the rear optics; Improved noise insulation, the instrument panel is updated.
• Crash tests: 2009, Euro NCAP; Overall rating - Five Stars: Protection of adult passengers - 81%, Protection of children - 80%, Pedestrian protection - 34%, Safety Assistants - 71%.

Motors of all types have the usual resource of the belt of attachments and its rollers - from 100,000 km, and engine supports live much longer than the previous Lancer.

• On modifications with a motor 1.5, an electric power steering unit is installed built into the steering rack. On the machines of the first years of release, it was very rare, but the system failures occur. The amplifier either turned off at all, or worked only when the steering wheel is rotated. Attempts to repair did not bring due results and ultimately had to replace the steering mechanisms assembled by the bats. In general, the electric powerful on Lancer does not cause trouble. Unlike Subaru, Ford and Mazda, Mitsubishi electric racks are reliable: the knocks are not about them.
• On versions with motors 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0, set classic GUR. Sometimes it pops up the trunk of the return on the rake to the pump: rubber tubes are shared in places of fasteners to the steering mechanism. It is important to replace the GUR liquid in accordance with the Rules - every 90,000 km. To this race, the products of natural wear in the lubricant are already decently clogged with a filter grid in the pump tank.

• Alas, a good picture with the reliability of the plates of both types spoils a low resource of steering and tips - on average a little more than 60,000 km.
• As with the predecessor, the rear silent blocks of the front levers are not distinguished by an enviable resource - only 60,000 km go. They can be replaced separately, but about 90,000 km dies a ball support that goes only assembled with the lever. Therefore, if the rear silent block is broken, it is rational to replace the lever assembly.
• The front shock absorbers go on average 120,000 km. When replacing them, update both support bearings in order not to immediately remove the nodes.
• Front and rear stabilizer sleeves - consumables. They are changed every 30,000 km. The front stabilizer racks are also not particularly alive: the resource is about 40,000 km.
• Like the predecessor, the tenth lancer, the brake mechanisms have to be serviced with each replacement of the pads - clean the guides in the calipers brackets, lubricate fingers. This is especially important for rear brakes. Without prevention, the mechanisms quickly zak. The pads cease to move away from the disk, it means that elevated wear and overheating, screens and other extraneous noises are inevitable. With a serviceable system, the front pads go 30,000-50,000 km, and the rear is about 90,000 km.
• The rear suspension of 1.5- and 1.6-liter modifications is deprived of a stabilizer, but it can be determined - the mounting holes are unified.
• In the silent blocks, the bolts of adjustment of the collapse and convergence are pretty quickly. Alas, prevention is only one - check and adjust the corners of the wheel installation every 60,000 km. If you lose the moment, the repair will cost much more expensive.
• The resource of the neutralizer and oxygen sensors is minimum of 100,000 km. Most often, lambda probes denied due to the cliff of the inner circuit of their heating. Original sensors are very expensive, so servicemen use cheaper, but decent analogs of the company DENSO.
• In order to save, often in the resulting neutralizers, there are penetrating cells, and on the second lambda probe, which controls the efficiency of the system, is set to a bell. This is a small spacer between the sensor and the flow of exhaust gases. It is embedded in a kind of small neutralizer with honeycombs, which successfully imitates the work of the expensive node.
• After 100,000 km burst the ring of the receiving pipe. This is a common sore. The exhaust system immediately increases the voice.

Achilles of the Tenth Lancer Fifth - variable speed drive. It is available only for versions with 1.8 and 2.0 motors. Even with competent maintenance and operation, the variator lives on average only 150,000 km. Full and qualified repair implies a mandatory replacement for many expensive parts, and the final price tag of recovery comes to 120,000 rubles. Therefore, there are very in demand in the market. Proposals are sufficient, and the price is tolerable - 60,000 rubles. On Lancer is the aggregate of the Japanese company Jatco JF011E. They are equipped with outlanders and many models of the Renault-Nissan concern.

In addition to the negligent attitude of the owners, the life of a whimsical transmission strongly reduces the unsuccessful arrangement of its cooling radiator. On the dorestayling models, it costs under the bumper, almost on the front left wheel hump, as a result, quickly turns the mud - and the variator overheats. Therefore, the radiator has to be dismantled and rinsed before each summer season. There are pitfalls here - the node is subject to corrosion. Even with the first removal of hoses from his fittings, the risk of breaking them, and they completely dump the rug to 120,000 km. A new radiator costs 20,000 rubles, so the servicemen picked up an analogue from Kia / Hyundai machines, which is almost three times cheaper.

Surprisingly, when restyling Lancer in 2010, the cooling radiator variator was completely removed - as on Outlander. Transmission began to overheat even stronger. Fortunately, the Salvation Scheme is worked out: the radiator put on the former regular place using the very Korean analogue. Either the radiator suitable in the parameters and endure it in front of the main regular. In both cases, it will be needed to replace the housing of the heat exchanger of the Variator "DoreForm". In modern execution, it has only two conclusions under the highway of antifreeze circulating on the engine cooling system, and you need two more additional under the new oil circuit.

It is very important to change the oil in the variator at least once in 90,000 km - it is in the presence of an oil radiator. If it is not, the interval should be shorted. When replacing it is desirable to remove the pallet to estimate the amount of chips (wear products) at its bottom and on special magnets. This allows you to judge the health of the variator and approximately ask how much it remains to live. Also assesses the state of the bobbin variators before buying them.

Extend the life of a variator and careful operation. The transmission of this type is especially afraid of percussion loads (when the bouquet wheels suddenly acquire a good clutch with expensive) and sharp accelerations.

Five-speed mechanical boxes Transmissions are available for all motors, but have constructive differences depending on the engine family. For engines 4a (1.5 and 1.6) there is one unit, for 4B (1.8 and 2.0) - another. At the same time both boxes are reliable. But you can kill everything, so the negligent holders note: now the mechanics for Lancer on the analysis is more expensive than the variator - 75,000 rubles. The manufacturer installed by the manufacturer to replace the oil in boxes is 105,000 km.

Four-stage classic automaticalready a dealer, but unnecessary. It is available for Motors 1.5 and 1.6. Servicemen could not remember the weak points of this box. The oil is recommended to change no less often in 90,000 km.

Word owner

Maria Mishulina, Mitsubishi Lancer X (2008, 1.8 l, 143 hp, 140 000 km)

Lancer X I chose because of appearance and because of love for Japanese cars. I have a lot of experience in communicating with them, including recruiters. I bought the car in 2012 - with a mileage of 98,000 km and after two owners.

Before me, the car operated my friend, so I was sure that her condition is good.

I was looking for a car with a variator - I like such a transmission. In addition, the Lancer of this generation did not have other options that combine a relatively powerful motor and automatic. I know that the variator is short-lived and roads in repair, therefore sold the car when the mileage reached 140,000 km. Transmission worked without complaints, but I did not want to risk.

The car demanded only a regulatory service with the replacement of consumables. Alas, it did not cost without an accident. Damage to the front part was unsiler, but the prices for original spare parts were shocked. It is good that the Lancer can always find details for the sane money on disassembly.

Objective minuses: mediocre noise insulation, low quality interior trim and small trunk. The rest of the Lancer arranged me, and I disagree with the views that he was very outdated.

Alexander Bulatov, Sales Manager with Mileage of the company "SERVIS +"

Lancer X pleases high liquidity in the secondary market, despite the background of more than fresh competitors, he is obstructed morally. Age is well noticeable in interior: boring design, cheap materials, poor noise insulation. But Lancer still clings his appearance. Good demand has all modifications. Lancer for an adequate price awaits his buyer a maximum week. The most popular - versions with motors 1.8 and 2.0 and variator. Of course, the variator requires timely service and competent operation, but with him in the city is more comfortable.

The reverse side of high liquidity is increased attention of hijackers and an abundance of fraudulent sale announcements. Focus on the prices of official dealers - so you cut off a potentially dangerous segment of proposals.

In general, Lancer is a reliable and interesting car. It's not so difficult to find specimens in good technical condition even with decent mileage. However, in my opinion, the tenth generation is somewhat overvalued in the secondary market. You should not consider cars more expensive than 400,000 rubles, because within half a million you can buy cars class above, such as Ford Mondeo or Mazda 6.

Faults Lancer 9.

Mitsubishi Lancer, and can and Mitsubishi FIG knows how correctly. In general, we will write about the Lancer of the 9th model, which has been produced since 2003, the model was so successful that the queue was more than 1 year. The main thing that was, is a set of good options and the Japanese assembly of the model, which was distinguished by excellent quality. Lancer 9 was so popular that, along with Lancer 10, released the previous model.

The most common engine was 1.6 liters and with a capacity of 90 l / s. With the engine 1.3, we do not advise such a lancer, as it is frankly weak for 1200 weight. Well, or nookynyak with a 1.5 liter motor. Motors are reliable if twitching appeared, then it's time to change the candles that are usually 25 thousand km. Every 80 thousand km need to change the drive belts and the timing belt with the rollers, well, and the pump is at the same time. The cost of replacement is 17 thousand rubles, the timing belt is better to buy the original, as when the motor, the expensive repair of the motor is provided. Radiators start running already 50 thousand km, and it starts to leak from reagents that winter roads sprinkle, the cost of replacement is 20 thousand rubles. If the generator bearings are noisy, the replacement cost will be about 5 thousand rubles, and the new generator of about 40 thousand rubles

Engines 1.8 and 1.8 turbo with GDI system. These engines work poorly on our gasoline, often fails of gas station, which costs 25 thousand rubles, as well as fuel injectors worth 15 thousand rubles per pc.

Lancer Mechanics is very reliable, it cares about 200 thousand mileage without repair, the oil change every 100 thousand. The Lancer automaton is also higher than the praise, serves more than 300 thousand km, replacing fluid every 80 thousand. The variator is also distinguished by reliability, though the liquid replacement

Salon Lancer 9 is simple, but even after 150 thousand mileage, there are no crickets in it. The quality of the salon is excellent, but the loss armrest and the upholstery will tell you that Lancer mileage is more than 180 thousand km. To save seats, it is better to use model covers.

Suspension Lancer 9 excellent and shot down. Questions arising only after 150 thousand runs. On some models still live racks. After 150, you will have to put good money, under the replacement of the levers in which ball, springs, racks, support bearings are pressed. The cost of original spare parts is simply expedited, let's say one lever costs about 10 thousand rubles.

The steering rail serves more than 150 thousand km, if it appeared with a simple repair, and the replacement replacement is about 90 thousand rubles. Steering traction serve 90 thousand km, and replacing them 7 thousand rubles

The car is easy to repair, and the price of consumables will please you, but you do not advise you in the accident on Lancer, as spare parts and work are just furious.

Prices for original accessories will be captured. Lansters standing in the courtyard removed everything that can be removed, mirrors, moldings, even headlights, so Casco tariffs are much higher than the classmates.
