i know parts are expensive, but are they also hard to find?
whats the reliability of these cars? i knwo mitsubishi does not have a good track record because of the eclipses. did they build this car better than the second gen eclipses?
where does this car make its power? does it have a nice wide power band? does anyone know where i can find dyno sheets for it?
any help is much appreciated. thanx

The FAQ and search feature are your friends...everything you asked has been answered a billion times before.
Common issues are in the FAQ...just make sure you have a mechanic check it out and you test drive it.
Water pumps need to be replaced as part of the 60k/120k tuneups, they run about $100 and the tuneup is covered in the FAQ.
Aftermarket and normal parts are a bit more expensive, but not hard to find.
Reliability is average, depends on the previous owner...in FAQ
Don't know about where the SLs make their power...they have 222hp and similar torque, if you do some searching you maybe able to find a dyno graph. Vr4s are Twin Turbo and make much more power...all in the FAQ.
