Moving on to the big stuff now, as the move overseas gets closer and closer by the day!  


This time I'm selling my 1998 Mitsubishi Diamante.  Full details here: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=218469822

Very very good price for one of these (esp. as its a 3.0 not a 2.5). Nice cars to drive too.
Good luck with the sale.

Yeah, very good price, and I agree they are lovely cars to drive. I have a 1999 3.5L sports version. After a 1.5L Gemini, its very powerful ;)

I had a NZ New 2001 3.5L Diamante Advance as a work vehicle once, and it was *brilliant*. More leg room than any other car I have ever had (Including my 2001 SS, 2001 Falcon, and other big vehicles).

Great for us tallies.

yeah leg room was the key in my getting this car. i tried so many others, even big falcon's and commodores but couldn't find one with as much space for me personally as the diamante. nice adjustable electric drivers seat too which is handy :)

The Mitsubishi tiptronics are okay, but I have driven some shockers in my time. Most recently a friends Subaru Tribeca - late model. The tiptronic is so laggy is just not worth using for performance reasons, it only seems good to hold a gear on a hill.
