1988 Mitsubishi L300 LS review from North America
"This little van is a head turner!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I haven't owned this precious little van for long, but I just adore it's looks. I fell in love with it when I saw it and had to have it. It is cream colored with wide gold stripes down the sides and along the bottom. People have commented that it looks like a Jurasic Park vehicle, a casino shuttle van, Scooby Doo's van...etc. It drives like a dream too. It originally came from California so it is virtually rust free. The interior is in great shape. I love the tracks that the seats move on. You can position the two "captains" chairs wherever you want them. They also swivel all the way around so that you can face the people in the back seat. The only thing that has gone wrong with the van thus far is the alternator, which we are replacing. The van has 193,000 miles on the body and chasis. I've been told by the seller that the engine was replaced with a used engine 7-9 months ago.
General comments?
We are taking our van on vacation to Missouri from Michigan in April. And just try to find one like ours. Good luck. It's a keeper!!!
