1993 Mitsubishi Diamante LS review from North America
"A keeper! fun and comfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I replaced the timing belt, idler and water pump the day I purchased it. Better safe than sorry, cost about $700.
The Motor mounts seem to be going, but not too bad yet.
The brakes only have about 10,000 miles on them and they make a terrible grinding noise once in awhile.
A CD stuck in the changer. Easy fix and when I removed to do the repairs I noticed that the factory had not changed the shock springs to the vertical setting. If your CDs skip frequently, pull your changer out and check the setting on the sides.
The automatic door locks do not automatically unlock all the time when the car is put in park.
General comments?
Great luxury and comfort for the price.
I have read a few comments about burning oil, but I have not had this occur and my car is approaching 120,000.
Aside from the slightly worn leather on the front seats you would never know this car was 10 years old and had a 120,000 mile on it.
