CARS

ok, in the US, i believe ( just by looking at it) that the magna is known as a Galante. These are OK cars, but with 113,000 miles on it, the price had better be really right. I don't know how us & aus dollars convert, but over here, that car would be worth around $2000. $500 wholesale. A rebuilt transmission, you say? I'd prefer a manual trans with miles like that, provided it had a fresh clutch, but if the tranny was done recently, and it runs well, i guess it's ok. looks pretty clean. You might want to call a mitsu dealer( service dept) in your area and ask them about the common problems that they have. Ask if they have timing belts or chains, and when they should be replaced...then ask the seller if he has record of it being done. When in doubt, take the car to your mechanic or that mitsu dealer BEFORE you sign or pay for the car.

looks like a nice litle ride, though. I had figured you for the Jeep Wrangler type, though......I can get you a really nice deal......shipping not included

good luck!
