mitsubishi galant vr4 info

[wickednasty]

guys, i'd like to know a few info about this ride, mitsu galant vr4.. im just curious as to why the resale value is quite low despite it being a luxury vehicle. i've seen vr4s with a price range somewhere between 150K-200K.. im planning to buy a used car soon, and im quite interested with this one. how's the fuel consumption, spare parts, maintenance, etc? looking forward to your two cents about this. most especially from the vr4 owners... thanks in advance...

Are you referring to the one with 2.5 V6 twin turbo?

I don't think the twin turbo galants are 150-200k

Don't be mislead by those ads; it's a common tag a lot of local sellers use to advertise the 4 cylinder Galant SuperSaloon as "VR4" because the the 6 cylinder version was tagged as the VR V6 variant. The 4cylinder SuperSaloon has a 2.0 130++ hp engine (SOHC). NOthing great on the performance side, i'd take a VR V6 model any day as fuel consumption won't be that far off either..

On parts the Galant has no problem... there are a good number of shops in Banawe like Best Colt and surplus goodies are also abundant. Other ptions you can check out are also the '93 to '97 Coronas.

tama si sir vinj, bihira po ang tunay na vr4, twin turbo. yung ibang vr4 may 4 wheel steering pa.

anyway, kaya po mura sila dahil takot ang mga pinoy sa 2 liter pataas na mga makina - malakas daw po sa gas. kaya ang resale value ng mge toyota corona, crown at mitsu galant mababa.

parts and maintenance wise, mas mahal po sila ng konti sa mga entry level na kotse dahil "luxury" segment na sila. pero ramdam mo yung pagkakaiba.

kung vr-inline 4, mahal sa 200K na...konti lang diffrence sa consumption ng vr-v6(parehong 2.0 sila) plus manual kunin mo wag matic, mas sulit sa power and "pinas luxury"

make sure well maintained, baka magulat ka sa added na gastos after you bought it. ex. timing belts - dalawa yan kaya mas mahal ang palit, sparkplugs lang mejo pahirapan ang pag replace.

pero sa comfort, oks yan.
