We bought it back in August to last for YEARS so it might not be the most interesting of cars, but it has a decent enough spec, and years of life left in it. As such we actually spend a fair bit of money on it, a BIG service, including belts, and 4 new and decent tyres (Vredestiens) in November/December!
The positive aspects:
2003 Mitsubishi Carisma 5dr hatch.
Only 40,000 miles
1.6 petrol
CD player
Air con (that works!)
Front Electric windows
Good heater
Alloys
It's a Mitsubishi - reliability!
Central Locking
Cam belt and tyres replaced Nov / Dec
The negatives:
Tiny rust bubbles on rear arches
We don't really like it.
MOT is 23rd April
Tax to Oct
This car is very easy to drive, built on old Volvo S40 underpinnings, and of course Japanese, so well put together.
SOLD off forum - remember we've spent 600 on service and tyres since Nov..
This will make a GREAT long term hack for someone, or maybe a cheap car for the family.
Feel free to spread the word!
