Mitsubishi Mirage Problems

There's no set time that's best. Carmakers are having sales all the time, with special deals etc., but if you're looking to buy a demo then keep an eye out for the model run-out sales when dealers are looking to offload their demos. Watch for carmakers advertising great deals and read the motoring press to see when they're likely to be releasing a new or updated model. May or June, around the end of the financial year is often a good time to pounce.

Your story is getting far too common and, trust me, it's not just women who are being taken in by some unscrupulous dealers.

Fuel consumption can be difficult to predict because there are so many factors that can affect it, and many of them are related to your driving conditions and style. But based on the official figures for each of the cars you are considering the Fiat Panda is the most economical by a small margin. All could be expected to average less than 5.0L/100 km. As far as maintenance goes the Mitsubishi is the winner, and would be my choice.

We contacted Mitsubishi on Hazel's behalf and can report that a replacement starter motor has now been provided and fitted to her car.

It's hard to believe that Mitsubishi doesn't have any starter motors in stock to replace one that has failed. Even if they didn't have one here in Australia, with the modern jets now in service it should only take a matter of a day or two to get one from overseas. We asked Mitsubishi for assistance in resolving your problem and they have told us that the parts you require will be available this week and will fitted when they arrive.
