1990 Mitsubishi Montero RS 4dr SUV 4WD
Back in 1989 around october I saw this montero RS with 5 speed 4 door silver in color at the dealer. Got a great deal. 17,500 that was new, 20 years ago. Will I buy another Montero? YES this thing will not DIE!!! Have about 438,000 miles. The body has no rust, the paint so so, parts 2 clutch one fly wheel, one transmission at 365000, other than this just small parts.

A Reliable Rig
Hungry Man, 10/18/2003
1990 Mitsubishi Montero LS 4dr SUV 4WD
This is a very reliable SUV. I bought it used
with 44K miles and it now has 175K. The only
repair I've made was for valvue cover oil leaks
and the starter.
The first tune up was done at 100k. It burns
about a quart of oil every 1K miles now. A
great rig for a responsible driver.

My Third Monty
Frumious, 10/18/2009
1990 Mitsubishi Montero LS 4dr SUV 4WD
This is my third and oldest Montero. I trust the brand to buy a 20 year old copy with 160,000 miles. Everything works like new. Its 143 horses must be Clydesdales. The view through the tall windows is commanding. Only drawbacks (others mention these): Driver's seat does not go back quite far enough and radio controls are far below the dash. Gas mileage is fair. It helps to know … where to get parts. A junk yard or one of several online forums will keep this truck going at least another five years. There are lots of prior Montero owners out there who come up to the car and smile.

So Cal Bakersfield Review

1990 Mitsubishi Montero 4dr SUV 4WD
I have not had any problems with this
vehicle whatsoever. I have over
120,000 miles on it, and have spent
less than $500 in repairs on it,
outside of oilchanges and regular
maintenance.
