2000 Mitsubishi Diamante ES review from North America
"Expensive nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Problem after problem : (
The last one is the famous heater core leakage problem
Just google for "diamante heatercore" and you will see
It is a known problem and Mitsubishi knows it, but doing nothing about it. Costs 700-900 to repair or you will be poisoned inhaling antifreeze. And the 60k service costs normally 1500 for a car not worth 9k. Never again Mitsubishi.
