I bought my Galant because of its value for money, Being a Poor student means im on budget performance and galant satisfies B) (for now)

i got mine for the same reason. I had no money plus my mom gave it to me for free like in late 2002

I got a 99 GS w/ CAI, exhaust, header, strut tower bar, and a system that was hydrolocked for 1500. bought engine with 30K miles for 900, and installing myself.
i thought it was a good deal... :blink:

I got my 95 eclipse gs because some jerk off in a ford ranger totaled my 94 eclipse gs plus price and mod possibilities were also thrown into the mix. :57:

Price,appearance,options :)

I got mine for the modifying potential but also for its performance and its general appearance/styling ;)

price and looks, with a little work it can be a great looking car

if only i could choose all.

i'd say price also, great bang for the buck, and the modification options are good.

but i voted for the motorsports heritage :D

My second car was a 1998 Mitsubishi Galant ES, which I loved, but I had to part with it because it had 75,000 miles and I didn't feel like dropping any more money into it. I didn't have a warranty, so everything was out of pocket. I have since bought a 2003 Lancer ES, which I have had for a year, and I bought it because I planned on modifying it when school was over. Since I am in Auto School, I don't care about the warranty and all, I plan on doing all the work when I graduate anyway. The car cost me $11,500 with 5000 miles. I have never been happier about a car. I just wish it a) had more stock power, B) had a better stock sound system, and c) had a bigger gas tank. My Galant had a 17 gallon, and going to a 13 gallon sucked.

Even though the 99 Galant GTZ I just got has quite a few miles,& I went thru everything when I got it about 5 months ago-it didnt really seem to need it and I have had zero problems.

I had (still have it in my yard) an Celica/supra -86 and it's to small, having a house out of town.
So I was looking for a little bigger car for those drives to the citydumb with garbbage! :grin:
I found an 1993/94 Galant HB with a towinghook (dont know if it's the right word?)
anyway it seems to bee a good car only have had it for a few weeks yet.
But the main thing about the car that tipped me over to it's favour was the engine being more powerfull than my old supras :P !
150 VS 140+ (and with some mild modifying it will have some more)
So I have to say that space (bigger car) and engine (bigger engine or at least more horsepower) is what made me an Mitsu owner.

looks, potential and affordability

the 3G eclipse is a lady getter :banana:

I bought a dodge 'cause it had a mitsu engine... wait, what? nevermind. :grin:

:460:

all of the above mostly.( besides the lady getter part). i wanted something fast and stylish. really is their anything else?

I found my Stella (94 Galant GS) on autotrader.com. When I met the seller at a nearby mall, I fell in love at first site. Then I started her up - and oh yeah, true love. I have only had to do slight repairs, pretty much normal stuff for 200K miles +, but she is strong and reliable. Best car I have ever had!

I bought my Lancer ES new because the payments were cheaper than buying a used Honda Civic (similar equipment).

Mitsubishi was having a deal going on at the time, 0% financing for 6 years. The car was well equipped and had good styling for an economy car.

I've had the car a year and a half, with 47,000 miles. No problems whatsoever. I would have bought an Outlander in a year or two, but they made the new ones bigger and more expensive. Plus, they only use the V6 now.

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to save up for an Evo.

I bought the first to bail my daughter out of a jam. (Long story and not going there any further)
Bought the Eclipse cause my wife thought it was cute. (This is now her car. I hate the seats)
Bought the current one for me. Didn't want to pay the insurance on an EVO with my son on the policy. So I got the Ralliart (EVO Lite according to the dealer) and gave the ES to my son.

Yea, except for the turbo and the all-wheel-drive. Car salesmen say some stupid things to sell a car.

:amen:
He may have thought that helped to make the sale.
Not the case, I went in to buy the Ralliart and that's what I got.
Of course it took them a while to find the one I wanted, and then get it shipped in.
