Need advice


Hi,

i have been enquiring about a 2008 Mits Triton dual cab petrol Glx-r auto with 202000 Kim's on it with hard cover for $9000 my dealer friennds and my mechanic said everything from don't touch it to its worth $3000 the problem is that might be what they would pay at an auction but that's not the private world. The car has a full service history, no marks and has a hard cover can you folk give me your thoughts. I know the Mits is not regarded as the rolls Royce of dual cabs and I know the petrol is not as fuel efficient as the diesel but I cannot afford a diesel and the amount of towing I would do is very little advise please I like this car but I don't want to pay top dollar and do not want a good looking lemon

Personally I know of two Triton 4x4 PETROL OWNERS,  both had as company vehicles, and both done around 300-320000 klm with no MAJOR issues, but a few niggly ones, -- Maybe if you have a read of this itmay help your decision ?? Good luck whatever you decide ! http://www.motoring.com.au/buying-used-mitsubishi-triton-ml-series-2006-10-50578/

G'day Shadow,

Just check out the log book for any problems especially recurring ones, if your restricted money wise you don't want to spend more. Here's a link to Redbook pricing on the 2008 MY08 & MY09.
