Ok on Thursday night i looked at the trading post and saw a Mitsubishi Magna Excecutive 89' for $2000 (I'm not rich so don't laugh ), the owner was a granny so they wouldn't have thrashed it (i hope not ), anywayz the milage thing had only done 67000km..
I can drive this tomorrow cause i gotta deal with the bloody insurance companies and stuff..
Was this a good deal?

I hope you got one with power steering cause they are like driving a brick on wheels with out it.
For $2k with that many km's sounds orrite. its a 2.6ltr 100kw engine so it has a little bit of go. For getting you from a-b it will do fine.
Enjoy your first car and drive safe!

hahahaha well they are much better than they used to be. I fuckin hate the auto gearboxes in the 88/89 magnas... they are totally shit! I hope it's a manual dj psy

agreed definately DO NOT get it if it is auto otherwise you'll be breaking down every hundred or so kilometres as the magnas had auto gearbox problems which can't be fixed.
Also check if the car has been regularly serviced, hence log books/service history etc that also tells you how well the car has been kept
