1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL review from North America
"A dream ride.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My front left strut went bad, but Mitsubishi dealer said the replacement would cost $200 + manual. I went KYB shocks replaced all four. Cost me $220. The handling of this car increased 2 fold. This car's cornering is so impressive I can't believe it.
Then my IAC and ECM blew. Again went the outside route. Got the rebuilt ones saved myself $800.
General comments?
This car is a dream come true. Fast and awesome. Its '92 and it has seen so much snow, but even today the paint just shines. Sometimes I prefer to spend time with my car than my girlfriend. When I compare both this ride is much better ;)
But of course maintenance on this puppy is not cheap. Any thing goes and you are looking at a steep sticker price. And you mostly have to go to the dealer as they only have the scanner to analyze the computer. And thus you get ripped off.
