    First married first car was a Plymouth Champ. It out lived the 6 yr marriage, and 10 yrs of divorce, put over 500k miles on it, did the necessary maintenance, best car I ever owned, ran like a top, started on the coldest nite in Chicago history. Absolutely no complaints about the car. Sold it to a distant relative of the family, they wrecked it and got enough out of it to buy a new car. It held its value. I wish I could get another car like that today for what I bought that one for back in the day…it was a 1979 Champ, and a Champ it was! Great car, and yes it had a 4 cyl Mitsubishi engine. Take good care of them and they will take good care of you. I miss that car, and oh, it had the twin sticks manual transmission with absolutely no issues at all.

    I used to own a 2009 Mitsubishi Galant with a small 4 cylinder engine and it ran like a dream. The only time I ever brought it to a mechanic was to get new tires and new CV axles while doing all the other maintenance on my own. Got it when it had 182K miles and drove it pass 300K miles but loss it in a bad car accident. Check engine light did came on once for gas cap but got it taken care of easily. The problem is NOT the Mitsubishi, its the owners who modify the car.

Yes it’s a $1000 fix, expensive but it’s a fairly common issue that arises on vehicles approaching higher mileage everything else in the drivetrain is healthy based on what a mechanic told me so the fix in my opinion is worth it.

    My Vue was a grandparent car, that had 222K when I got it. Only had that many miles from being towed behind a motor home most of its life.
    Down the road , the Vue had developed an unpleasant roar from the front end, at 281,000, installing new front wheel hub assemblies made it nice and quiet once more. The left side wheel hub still seemed ok, the right one, on the other hand , was terrible. $120 in parts to put it right.

    Scotty says always have a mechanic check it out before you buy it (used obviously) My question is how is that practical or possible? It's not like you can tell the seller " I'm thinking about buying this car, let me take it to my mechanic." You'll have to wait though, he doesn't have any openings for 10 days.

    That has to be one of the worst-looking aftermarket "cold-air" intake systems I've ever seen. They kept the factory intake funnel but removed the next part of it, so it basically steers the air into the side of the hood. The actual filter and intake pipe into the engine is facing the opposite direction. I guess they're thinking the air is somehow going to take a U-turn inside the engine bay? 🤣

    That car is so simple to tell fuel trims the software is pretty in depth and free. It has a manual boost controller and the K&N intake was CARB certified and it was $380 junk. The dirty exhaust is 3in catless and it probably has a bigger fuel pump. Any change to the intake tract and it needs a retune. If the guy put some stock parts back then its a screw you to the next guy with the tune.

      There are ones that actually do that, but they're much less common than these messy ones that don't really work. Without the ducting (and potential heat shielding of a good system), the open ones like in this car are basically "warm-air" or "hot-air" intakes. It's the tunes and the larger intake piping that do all the work here.

    I don't know if it's the same in America, but I assume it probably is, that to do an OBD check on a Mitsubishi with a scanner you have to have Mitubishi's own MUT scanner... and you can't buy them because they're only for the official Mitsubishi dealerships and no one else can (offficially) get one because they won't sell you one. They still use the same OBD socket as all the other makes but the software system is Mitubishi's own and they;re not compatible, even with expensive scan tools.

My wife (disabled) and I live on Social Security, and $7000 is about the limit of what I can scrape together, so if I buy a car, I need it to hold up for awhile before it needs any repairs so I can save up for them.

    Scotty - is this to destroy the cat converter if not already or the o2 sensors with the raw fuel? U think for emissions is checking the exhaust so not polluting? I had old late 90s car with cel on and costly to get off for nys inspection. This car ok for states not checking this.

    I'm like 8 months too late... currently hating my car. It has a leak at the differential end of the cv shaft so I got under there and realized that I can slide it in and out, so I take everything off, and now the cv shaft won't come out no matte what I do. I've spent two afternoons on this and now I need to borrow a ride to work tomorrow

      What year and model is it? Did you look into how to remove CV shafts on it? A lot of them have nothing or a weak spring clip that holds it in the transmission. The front suspension is what mostly keeps the axle shafts from ripping out.

      Possible that you need to rotate the axle and then try pulling it off. They typically have a 3mm cold rolled C-Clip which locks the axle in the diff/trans.

      I did a lot of research before trying to remove the axle myself. In every guide or tutorial I've found, they just say to pop it out with a prybar, but that isn't working for me. I've put so much effort into prying that I can confidently say that it's not coming out. I'm sorry if I'm coming off as rude but I'm just very frustrated with the situation I've gotten myself into. I appreciate the reply.
