1992 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 – 56/1000 - Belize Green, 193,000 miles on Body
Car runs perfect and drives great. It’s my daily driver currently – don’t be afraid of the miles.
In short, this car has had most of it gone through and has been fixed properly.
I'm buying a new (used) car, so the Galant and my Spyder are getting sold.

Not bad at all. I few drops a day - just thought I better mention it for full disclosure. I think I add less than 1 qt between oil changes.

With all the work done, I wasn't really sure where to price the car. It is by no means visually perfect, but better than average. Mechanically, it's very sound.

It's been over a month and both of my cars are still here... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif

Please don't make me part out this car.

I know I'd probably make an extra $2.5k over what I'm asking, but what a shame... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bawling.gif
