Used 1997 Mitsubishi 3000GT Hatchback Consumer Reviews
lva3kgt
I've had my 97 SL for several years now. It had 30K miles when I bought it in late 2001. Today it has over 192,000 and still runs 15.0 @ 91MPH in the 1/4mile. Not great, but not bad for a car that gets 25.5 MPG and is a V6. As long as you do the scheduled service, it will last a long time.
Constant Craving - In a BAD WAY
This car catches everyone's eye all the time. HOWEVER, it has been a constant problem. I have gone through 3 thermostats which caused the car to shift irregularly and harshly. The timing belt change at around 80k miles is $$$$$. Parts are $$$$. Keep in mind, I have the base model. I think they really left out a lot of quality on the engine as a result.

NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED
I traded in my 3000GT Base for a 97 3000GT SL in December of 2000. This Vehicle performs. Smooth ride, Handles like a dream, every option you can think of is on this car and it was all standard from the manufacturer. Excellent sound system for when I'm cruising long distance. I have had my share of sports cars and they all had some kind of MAJOR problem come up. Not this 3000GT SL. I now have 49,000 mile on this black beauty and she still looks brand spanken new, inside and out.
3000 GT - Lemon
This car came with no warranty available I had it for less than 90 days when the water pump froze and the timing belt broke which caused major problem with the engine. Company would not stand behind the problem with car.
3000 GT SL
This car had always been one of my favorites since its introduction (even over the Dodge Stealth). I love to drive it and love being seen in it, let's face it, I need all the help I can get. The car I purchased has every option and performs very well for an FWD sports car. It's surprising how a few, relatively inexpensive, mods can take this car to well over 300 bhp.
