Question Buying a VR4 (question)
Well, im planning on buying a first gen VR4, My questions are... Is it worth buying one with over 100000 miles? Do the turbos lose alot of power after so many miles? And which one is better, 91, 92, or 93? Thanks

They don't waste more gas, but they use premium fuel.

And anytime a car goes WOT you're going to burn the gas faster And in a VR4 the tendancy is to want to go WOT whenever possible

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.
