Hi, first post for me.
I'm in the market for a 'weekend car', I'm leaning towards a late-reg VR4; very good value compared to Lancer/Imprezas of similar age and mileage, and much more discreet as well; a wee bit faster in the real world than a Legacy B4 RSK; cheaper than other rivals (Volvo S60R or C70R, Audi S4)...butI suppose I'm preaching to the converted here.
Anyway, I've seen a couple of nice ones so far, but one that caught my eye is for sale on Auto Trader's website:
1999(S) MITSUBISHI GALANT (edit) VR4 2.5 V6 Sport 4dr Auto Saloon (http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/cars_search.asp?modelexact=1&lid=search_used_cars_full&make=MITSUBISHI&model=GALANT&variant=&keywords=vr4&min_pr=5000&max_pr=6000&mileage=6&agerange=0&postcode=g78+3hy&miles=1500&max_records=200&source=0&photo=1&sort=3&ukcarsearch_full=SEARCH)
64,000 miles
Reg no. S781 BKP
"Mitsubishi service history", but I don't know if this is complete, or just since it was imported to the UK. I also don't know what the import date was.
£5500 ono
Now, the trouble is that it's down in the rough direction of Weston Super Mare, and I'm up in Scotland (nr Glasgow). However, I've noticed previous threads on these forums where dealer cars were familiar to CVR4 members, and I wondered if anyone could help me out in this case. Is it in good nick? Has it been on the forecourt for long? Is there a pool of red fluid under the car, or a dead body in the boot? Stuff like that.
Many thanks in advance,
G
Edited to confirm that this is a VR4 - it's just been mislabelled by the seller in his ad title. Within the body of the ad it states "VR4 imported version, 4WD, twin turbo, mojo (sic) steering wheel"
