Used Mitsubishi GTO

The 90s were a great time for Mitsubishi Motors, and the GTO was another popular car produced by the manufacturer from 1990 to 2000. The Mitsubishi GTO was a grand touring/sports car available in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive with a front compartment engine. If you’re looking for a used Mitsubishi GTO, there is something to keep in mind. The GTO name was used only for the Japanese domestic market, while globally, it was known as the Mitsubishi 3000GT.

The GTO utilized a two-door coupe-style hatchback body and offered a four-seat capacity. A limited production run of a convertible model ran from 95 to 96. Additionally, a badge-engineered model of the GTO sold in the North American markets as the Dodge Stealth from 91 to 96 was a collaborative effort between Mitsubishi and Chrysler.

Used Mitsubishi GTO Review

The Mitsubishi GTO was a car ahead of its time and is often referred to as being over-engineered, but that is not always bad. If you can get your hands on a well-maintained used Mitsubishi GTO, then it’s an excellent car that still holds up well.


Many people, when asked for a  used Mitsubishi GTO review, call it over-teched but cut-price. This particular misconception means that the car overall is cheaper in the used car market.

The used Mitsubishi GTO review will go over the engine and transmission available. It will talk about things to check when buying a used Mitsubishi GTO and the price point.

Engine and transmission

All variants of a used Mitsubishi GTO will come equipped with one of three possible engine types. You can either find a 3.0L 6G72 SOHC V6 engine, the 3.0L 6G72 DOHC 24v V6 engine, or the twin-turbocharged 3.0L 6G72 DOHC 24v V6 engine.

The options available for Mistsubhi GTO were a  4-speed automatic transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission. However, if the used Mitsubishi GTO that you’re getting was manufactured after 1993, then you may find it with a 6-speed manual transmission.

Things to check when buying a used Mitsubishi GTO

The first to check is the engine. The oil pressure gauge sits at a quarter level when idling but should rise to halfway when the car is accelerated. Exhaust smoke can tell several things if it is not clear. If the smoke from the exhaust is black or dark grey, then it could mean failed piston rings or turbo seals. On the other hand, if it is white, a failure in the head gasket has occurred. Also, be sure to check if there is oil inside the y-shaped piping of the throttle housing body, as that indicates the health of turbo seals.

 

The second is the transmission. For manual transmission, the car can have trouble with the second gear. With automatic transmissions, the transmission fluid level and the color are good indicators of transmission box health. Therefore, it is recommended that the automatic transmission fluid be changed every two years.

 

When buying a used Mitsubishi GTO, be sure to check the suspension, steering, and brakes. The indicator bulbs should be present for the suspension settings. If the indicator bulbs are flashing, check to see if they are just because of a broken sensor wire. Also, be sure to check the steering racks for leaks and that the rubber gaiters do not have fluid buildup. And lastly, the rear brakes tend to wear out more on the GTOs, so do check them as well.

 

The leather interior without proper upkeep does not hold up well to time. Also, make sure the powered driver seat is in proper working order and the electric windows are operating smoothly.

 

Beware the scam

When buying a used Mitsubishi GTO, be careful as it is not uncommon for the UK-only GT to be passed off as a GTO. The only way to be sure that it is the right model is to check the chassis number. GTO numbers begin with Z15A or Z16A, followed by numbers. So, if this is not the case, then be wary. Additionally, the GT was only available in manual with leather trim.

 

The price of a used Mitsubishi GTO

A used Mitsubishi GTO price has quite the variable range. Therefore, the price point is dependent on several factors such as year of production, exact model variant, and distance traveled. A late-model used Mitsubishi GTO, which is unmodified, can cost between 12000 US dollars to 20000 US dollars. Older higher mileage models usually sell for around 8 to 10,000 US dollars. Additionally, local import duties and taxes may have an impact on the price as well.
