Re: when did you decide the 3000gt is what you wanted

When i took a test drive in a 96 VR-4 with my father, i was about 9-10 years old at the time. Still raising enough money for one at the moment

Re: when did you decide the 3000gt is what you wanted

I was biking with a friend when we were like 14 or 15 and went to the supermarket. There was a red 3000gt, based on looks alone I wanted one...5 years later I find out they come with 2 turbos...a year after that, my honda gets a gas leak. I tell everyone that I'm going all or nothing...a vr4 or taking the bus. After enough looking and a sizeable car loan...its in my driveway.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.

some lady across the street used to have on, and i looked at cars for a while, and found this really nice one, and at a price that was somewhat in my range.....so a couple days later, and a few checks later, it sat in my driveway....

Quick love story: my manager had a '93 red base and i drooled all over it every time as I walked into work. I told her if she ever sold it, i'd buy it and asked her how much she would sell it for. 2 weeks later, she calls me before putting it in autotrader and I jump at the 7k offer. i asked her why she was selling it she said "cuz you convinced me to!" she got an MR2...

hmm is it Possible to find a VR4 for about Ten Grand at a dealer? thats yah know in half way decent condition. Ide just need the engine to be strong for like 4 months till I had enough $ to get another engine put in so high mileage isnt an issue.

zanark, yes you can find one in decent shape at a dealership for 10 grand...but you might have to look for awhile and argue with the dealer.
