Question for Mitsubishi enthusiasts?
I have the opportunity to buy a '92 Montero for $1000. It is currently in South Carolina, I'm in NY, so there are some logistics involved. I have already had a friend down there check it out and drive it. It is a V6 5 spd 4wd with no rust or dents. It runs & drives good, but has 200k miles on it. How many miles are they good for? Maintenance records are included with it. Living in the rust belt makes finding decent used vehicles difficult, and rust-free ones are at a premium. It would be my winter vehicle, and would only see about 5 or 6k miles a year for the rest of its life. I can have it shipped for $500, or buy a one way plane ticket and drive it home, about 800 miles. What is your opinion of these vehicles? I'm unfamiliar with them. Thanx for any input
There are no shortage of $1000 cars up here, but they are all junk. Here in Buffalo, we drive in salt for 5 months a year. A pristine southern vehicle up here is going for $2500 - $3000. If you can find one. So yes, I would drive 800 miles to save a few thousand.

Since it's been well maintained It's probably good for at least another 100k miles. These vehicles are common in africa and other places with harsh conditions. It'll probably serve you well.

You are gonna drive over 800 miles....JUST to buy a $1000 car ?!?
Is there a shortage of $1000 cars in New York ?? It seems strange that you'd have to drive so far away to find a $1000 P.O.S.
I live in Ohio and we definitely don't have a shortage of $1000 cars here. And you wouldn't have to drive nearly as far to get one !! but you'd still have the problem of transferring an out of state car title.
