My son totaled the Grand Am on the way to the beach Saturday. My wife and I saw it all in the rear view mirror. He's okay though so I'm glad he wasn't driving my P5.

Soooo, I spent all day (100 degree day) today screwing with car salesmen. Did good though, got a fully loaded-every option I know-Galant with a 24 valve V6. It hauls *** too, I can spin them with ease from a standing stop even with an automatic. Shifts very snappy too.

Really cool, but I don't know **** about Mitsubishi except that they made Zeros during WWII. Thus, my question; anyone know of a Galant or Mitsu forum?
Thanks

 

just a thought but have you tried www.galantclub.com to see if that works or have you tried google??...

 

NEVERMIND THE GALANT CLUB .COM lol.......i tried it dont work but all i could recommend is tryin google..

 

as a former mitsubishi mechanic I advise you to keep the car clean and sell/trade it before 75K miles.

 

I feel like I have been stepped on...

 

Aw crap, it's a 2001 with 54k and financed for 5 years. It'll be primarily an around-town car though, with about 6k miles a year.

If I find a decent forum I guess I'll find out what's so bad about them

 

valve stem seals.....they start going out around 75K miles and you'll need a complete head rebuild by 90K.

We (mitsu techs) live for 90K mile cars....everyone one of them smoke and need heads rebuilt. It's how we made so much money!

I highly suggest you just stay up on all scheduled maintaince and if you're wrench-friendly, do it all yourself. The dealer will rape you on stuff that is very easy to do. One good thing about Mitsu's is how easy they are to work on.
