Holy crap youre getting the car at a killer price!

Do you really think so? What do they usually sell for. It is 2006 if I did not mention it. If it seems really low when I go to check it out I feel I have to be careful. Don't want to get ripped off.

Also how is the reliability of the RA? What have you guys seen. Thanks guys for the help

in 2009 I paid $12k for my 06 with roughly the same mileage...mind you it was the only black one in Ontario at the time, and it was from a Mitsubishi dealership...I needed a second car for work, and I got exactly what I wanted. money comes and goes...but yes the price is decent..$2,500 would be a steal..

What options might there be? You take the tranny out and bring it here, or we go there, or you drive the RA down here to do all the work (I have a pit, press, tools, Crans has the brains), or something else?

That car is valued at about $5500 right now, so yeah, you did really great, and its low on the KM. Now, if it were 3k, that would be something to worry about. For the price you paid, it sounds like it was just a motivated seller who wanted to sell er quick.

As for reliability, I only had my RA for 2 years so I can't comment. From the time I had the car, it was great. I would say it all depends on how well it was cared for.

I've been beating on mine...so I can't say too much about reliability...the motor seems to be reliable...mine's got 250k on the motor...

I'd say it's a good price if it's all in good condition. I paid $6000 for mine last year and it had 96,000 kms on it. Who knows, maybe you can get them to come down to $4000.

Here is the car that I was talking about. it seems to have some body damage that I did not see before but it does not seem to major. Thoughts?

Thanks RalliartN, I will keep you posted.
I had trouble splitting the engine and gearbox from the donor car, so that has been the major hold up. I will not tackle it again till the weather backs off though.

Isn't RalliartN and Crans a couple of super stand up guys??!! No one is as nice, kind and helpful as they are. Major rad guys.

thank you for the kind words...I'm a gear head from birth, I'm assuming, cause I don't remember not being one...just doing what I can to help anyone I can...that's what it's all about...

Hey!

Does anyone have a problem with the body of their car? I have the 2006 Ralliart and the right by the back wheel (dunno what that part is called), it's rusted. I need to get it done but not sure how much and where.

I have the same thing...rear quarter panel, any body shop can fix it, I got an estimate at $800...I laughed and walked away...

wambam

Yes! The rear quarter panel, both sides. I got a quote for around $800 for both sides as well. Is that expensive? Is your quote for $800 one side or both as well?

Thanks!

that was for one side...at $400, I would have had it done for me, cause I don't particularly enjoy body work, and my refinishing skills are not at a level that I'm confident it will look factory new...but I can do it myself for less than $100...
