Edited: My bad, I mixed up the Wira and the Waja...

Mitsubishi engine bits should be no problem but things like suspension parts etc might be a bit hard to come by even in colombo

Fuel consumption will depend on engine size and transmission, let's just say it will not be as economical as a Corolla.

I think you're referring to the Proton Wira machang.

The Waja looks nothing like the Lancer. It just has a Mitsubishi 4G18 (1.6L SOHC EFI) engine - the same engine used in the 2001 - 2008 Lancer CS3. It's a reliable engine with little maintenance required.

I owned a Proton Impian in the past, It's the European export version of Waja. It's probably the most comfortable car I have owned. It's built on the same platform as Volvo S40. YOM 2000 Waja has the 4G18 engine and the one I owned (YoM 2007) had the Campro engine

1.spare parts availability - No issue with engine spares for 4G18. Campro engine spares are relatively rare. Body parts are available in one or two shops in Delkanda

2.maintanance - Engine maintenance is not difficult. Suspension may give trouble if you use it roughly.

3.resale value - Get it for below 1 million if you can. Then you don't need to worry about resale

4.fuel consumption - Expect around 8km/litre.
