Hi all, I just looked at this car.
http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/cars_search.asp?searchform=&modelexact=1&lid=search_used_cars_full&photo=1&state=none&sort=&make=MITSUBISHI&min_pr=75&source=0&model=LEGNUM&max_pr=&agerange=&mileage=&miles=1&trim=&keywords=&postcode=so31+8ey&ukcarsearch_full.x=49&ukcarsearch_full.y=6
Its in Southampton. 99 Ralliart Legnum 127K miles history fully stamped up to 2003 by Mitsi dealers. UNFORTUNATELY, no service history for present owner who has done 20K miles in the car. He said it has been regularly serviced by his digger mechanic? /pan
I don't think he is a member on here.
The car is in generally good condition outside with minor marks on the bodywork which would probably polish out. There are some areas around the door handles where the paint is quite scratched/worn. There are no dents or rust spots. The interior is well lived in and the drivers seat is worn through on the side panel (leather interior). The carpets are OK except in the boot where it is quite stained.
The steering pump whines on full lock when stationary or turning.
The engine sounded good with absolutely no tappett noise but there was a buzzing noise when revving - it sounded almost like a thin metal plate vibrating and appeared to come from the front or belt side of the engine.
I had a drive in the car and noticed the red AYC light was on. The green AYC lights wouldn't light up when the car was cornered hard. I also noticed a mechanical buzzing noise whilst driving (possibly a duff AYC pump?). The car did seem to handle well though. He said that he had never noticed the green lighs coming on or the red warning light.
When in tiptronic mode, the gears wouldn't change up at low speed, I'm not sure if thats a problem. He said it was right and it proved to be ok changing up under acceleration. The auto change seemed OK. It beeps when you go in reverse!
The car has a cat 1 alarm fitted and an MOT to june next year.
He wants £3995 ono - what do you think? is it worth that sort of money or would a stupidly low offer be worthwhile bearing in mind the AYC warning light?
He mentioned someone from Scotland viewing it recently - was it someone from the forum?
What do you think? :thinking:
