Mitsubishi Magna 2002: How much is my car worth?

A 2002 Magna in decent condition is around the $2000 to $3000 mark, Karen. So depending on what’s wrong with your car, the value in 'poor condition' could be as little as a few hundred dollars. If we’re talking major panel damage, flaking paint, rust and a car that needs new brakes or suspension, you could be looking at the vehicle’s scrap value which would be between $150 and $250 at current rates.

TJ Mitsubishi Magna overheating

If it smells like it's burning then it is probably overheating. Don't take too much notice of the gauge, because it could be faulty. You need to find out why the fan isn't working, which could be because of a wiring issue, a blown fuse, or a burnt-out electric motor, and get it fixed.

Leaking Magna

Obviously you need to find out where the water is getting in. The most likely place is around the windscreen, but it could also be through damaged or misplaced seals on the firewall. Have someone run a hose over the windscreen while you get down in the footwell and watch for where the leak comes.

Ask Smithy Xtra Mitsubishi Magna thermatic fan

The fan is designed to come on when the engine reaches a certain temperature and cycle as required to maintain a safe operating temperature. Yours seems to be doing that, and as there is no suggestion that the engine is overheating I wouldn’t be concerned about it. If you are get a mechanic to check the temperature switch controlling the fan’s operation.
