I was actually looking on CL for any station wagons and this popped up.

like the ad said, you are riding in Air conditioned comfort for only a grand, not something to be sneezed at here in Fl.

That ugly little thing has been tempting me---- it's just down the road from the GRM headquarters, and it looks pretty decent for a grand.

must resist temptation to fill driveway......

If only it were a 5-speed. I love these things with a 4G63T swap.

How is that interesting? That's the way all minivans were up until the mid-90's or so.

There's a five-speed AWD version for sale up the road from my office. I was briefly tempted.

There were 2 versions of this minivan offered by Mitsubishi....tho I'm not sure if Dodge / Plymouth and Eagle got both versions. I think this is the shorter version (probably has a 1600 cc engine(?) while the longer one MAY have had 4 doors and a larger engine. Had a similar name, too.

I should call about this one, as it's the kind of vehicle I've been thinking I need in my life, that is, something that makes me laugh when I see it, or at least chuckle. The big stumbling block for me, tho, is the small engine with an automatic though I have driven Civics of this vintage with auto that weren't too bad.

Could "someone" nearby take a long hard look at it for me....hint, hint. (I'm in Jacksonville and not sure I want to ride down to Daytona "just" to look at an old Mitsu van.)

I almost bought one of those - or at least the longer version - in 1992, as my first new car a few months before DD#1 was born. Turned out that I could get a short wheelbase Caravan with about double the interior space and a 3.0l V6 for the same money. It looked like a nice little utility runabout, though.
