Now that Mitsubishi has been sold I guess my dream of ever seeing the Montero Sport make a return is truly at an end. I shed a tear.
The best vehicle I ever owned was the Montero Sport.
>non oem alternator industry literally dying overnight
It probably lasted you so well because the previous owner maintained it well.
Your throwaway attitude is cancer

>making accusations
I keep my Montero in great shape. I constantly clean the interior and shampoo everything, change oil all the time and replace whatever parts need replacing. It's dirty under the hood but I always maintain what needs to be kept new. Also go fuck yourself because I have had this car in my family for 10 years and ours is the 2001 XLS. We have had it much much much longer than the original owner.

Ok sorry.
Just last year someone posted almost the exact thing you did but he loved his Montero because it lasted him so long without dying. He didn't do any maintenance

My mate was selling a 2000 413k mile one awhile back. As much as I detest the term, it was bulletproof

I bought an 03 XLS used and it was arguably the worst maintenance experience I've ever had.
>parents and I paid $5k for it in 2012, 117k miles. Overpaid handily but was for the most part not my money, and not my choice in cars.

And at the end of it all, cracked head gasket. It now occupies the front half of my driveway, haven't decided to try and sell it to some poor unsuspecting soul or if I'm going to just part it out. Be lucky to get $2,000 for it.
They weren't sold, a company bought a majority share of their stock.
Besides, with SUVs coming back, we might get the Montero Sport back. But Mitsubishi needs a brand-wide overhaul, and I'm not talking about their current bullshit direction.
Never have i loved a car like i love my Montero Sport. ive driven it up mountains, snow, everything. still kickin hard at 197k miles. And yes I did lose my virginity in the back seat there is tons of room.
The only Mitsubishi line worth anything is the Mitsubishi Fuso line of commercial trucks, and Daimler already owns that.
Even before the Evolution X ended production, Mitsubishi was on life support.
fuck the sport. it's just an l200 wagon. just get a new nx.
