Answer 1

I had a Galant a few years back, and I used to love it, the only reason I sold it was because it was a little bit older, (it was a 1995) but just the other day, I saw the guy I sold it to and he still had the galant. I saw the galant and it was still running good just like when I bought it and when I sold it to him. The car is a 1995 and it has a lot of miles (160,000+) But it still is nice, I was planning on getting me a new one later on this year. You always have the last word but I would go for it, just check carfax.com and kelly blue book kbb.com to make sure its is an OK car.

Answer 2

Depends upon what year.

Mitsubishi cars are pretty expensive to maintain once you get close to 100,000 miles.

Check to see if the timing belt has been replaced: if not, you are looking at a very expensive routine maintenance coming up.

Answer 3

I am not a fan of supporting foriegn vehicles. The US is losing jobs everyday. If everyone bought american we wouldn't be losing jobs overseas and maybe you would have a better job and you could afford a new car instead of this used foriegn car.
