Used 2000 Mitsubishi Diamante Sedan Consumer Reviews
Fun, Luxury Car
I bought this car new in 2000 for my wife. I love to drive it, and do at every opportunity! The only problem has been excessive road noise. We've had the tires replaced (30,000 miles), but it didn't help. This is a champagne car on a beer budget. Given the choice, I would buy the Diamante LS again.
Not so bad, no value
Runs well, lots of power. Lots of road noise however. I went to trade this for another Mitsubishi. No deal with financing work that much loss of value $26,000 car new and was only offered $9,000 in trade. No resale value, dealer was rude. (Not the original dealer) Other than being noisy, the car is a running dude. My transmission works well, don't know what others have experienced but mine is not a problem.
good bang for buck
only had it a couple of weeks but very satisfied with my purchase. only problem is a few paint chips. has power and comfort plus other high end options for a low end price. only paid 14000. looks like i paid 18-20k. at least.
Diamante from California
Wow ... we lost our shirts buying it new even with the huge rebate and great financing. Looking to trade with only 50,000 miles and it's worth nothing close to what we would have expected. Paid close to 30k and now it's worth 9k??? Not a winner in my book. I like the car but money is money. We won't buy another Mitsubishi for sure.
Great Car for the Price
I've had this car for almost 3 years, and I've really enjoyed driving it. It has good power and looks really nice. However, some components aren't durable enough - at 42,000 miles the struts are already going bad. Occasionally, it doesn't shift as nicely as I'd like. Plus, the rear window trim is peeling off, which looks bad. The resale value goes down quickly after you buy it new, so buy this if you want to keep it for awhile. But once you drive it, I bet you'll want to keep it for awhile.
