Mitsubishi 380 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Mitsubishi 380 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

• Where can I find brake caliper repair kits?

  You have a couple choices here. You can either go to a brake specialist or a general spare parts store, both of whom should have what you need, or will be able to order it for you. If it’s not on the shelf, metropolitan stores can generally have the parts for you the next business day. If you can wait a little longer, there are plenty of online sites that also sell the repair kits you need. Some of these sites might allow for local pick-up, but the majority of orders will be mailed to you.

  Just make sure if you go down the latter route to use a secure payment system that will refund your money if the parts never turn up. Also, local (Australian) online stores will likely have a faster turnaround than overseas sellers, regardless of any price difference. If you do shop overseas, you’ll also need to decide whether you want the faster (more expensive) shipping option sometimes offered.

• Reliable used 4-cylinder cars?

  With a limited budget like yours I would suggest to go for a car with a good reliability record. While the Mercedes-Benz is a good car you are likely to be facing an expensive repair if anything should go wrong. Consider a Mitsubishi 380 or a Toyota Camry of around 2000-2003.

• Thoughts on Mitsubishi 380?

  They're getting on in age now and many have high odometer readings, but if you shop around and find one that has relatively low kays, say 150,000 km or so, and has been looked after they are a good car. You can get a Series III for $5000 or less.

  Rodney Jane of Bob Jane T-Marts reckons tyres are a grudge purchase and people nearly always want the cheapest rubber — but there is a sweet spot where you can get good value without compromising safety.
