The old famous gto was a in history and was the king of all the sports cars in its time,with brilliant review's and its quick acceleration which does 0 60 in under 6 seconds.But when you are thinking of buying a used Mitsubishi gto then following this great buying guide for buyers who want a gto,which include some key tips below will help you get your perfect car:
1)Check the mileage is genuine on the clock,go through all the previous mot's and past service history,and see if the latest mot matches the miles on the clock.Thankfully the gto is not digital which means its less likely to have been clocked back in the past.If you suspect the mileage is to good to be true,then you can work out the estimate miles of the car yourself.Check if the driver side interior has any wear and tear.look around the dashboard cluster,do you see any screwdriver marks near the digits?Look at the foot,break and clutch pedal to they look abused?
2)Find out if its a uk model or a Japanese import is easy if it says "gto" on the back then that indicates its a import.If it says 3000gt then that shows its a uk model.The difference between the two is the same parts do not fit each other.A import car always have different parts that do not fit the uk models.My advice is to look for a uk spec because you get cheaper car insurance and tax.There are many spare parts such as body kit's and engine used parts available for both uk and jap cars in many salvage breakers.
3)It may say on the advertisement for example piston heads or autotrader that the seller claims that its has loads of engine mods and it produces so much bhp.Sometimes sellers might make things up like,they say in there advert that there vehicle is producing around 400bhp,when its not!People do this to try and sell it more quicker and to fool you got more power compared to any other car around.Check old receipts for example previous receipts for engine mods,exhaust mods.....Also check the mods your self and tell the lad to pop his hood up and let you have a look at it.But before hand do some research on what various modification look like,then when it comes to looking at the engine you know what to look for if it has really has been tuned up,and see if you getting take for a ride.
