Frequently asked questions

Why do 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer prices range from $3,076 to $9,627?

The spread comes down to configuration and mileage: higher-mileage, base-configuration examples sit near the low end, while low-mileage and premium configurations reach the top. Half of all listings fall between $4,991 and $7,968 — see the mileage and trim breakdowns above for where a specific vehicle lands.

Is $6,229 a good price for a 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer?

$6,229 is the market average as of July 25, 2026. Anything meaningfully below the $5,997 median is priced to move — but always compare within the same trim and mileage band, since those two factors drive most of the spread.

How we calculate these prices

We track 10 active listings for this vehicle across dealer sites nationwide, updated every day. Average and median are computed from real asking prices on live listings. We exclude the top and bottom 2% of prices to remove data errors, salvage titles, and monthly-payment figures posted as if they were sale prices. Prices reflect dealer asking prices — not final sale prices — and exclude taxes, fees, and incentives. Trim and mileage move the price more than any other factor; see the breakdowns above.
