Ha! They said that to me too!

The report pretty much says your car is in good nick.

They didn't check the engine's rear bank compression, a lot of stuff needs to come off first. But the front bank will give a general indication to the state of the engine.

Rotors have been skimmed - previously owner possibly had the very common problem of 'warped' rotors which cause a horrible shuddering under brakes, so had them machined. A lot people here just replace with aftermarket rotors, the RDA slotted versions are popular.

So when do you take delivery?

Hopefully takedelivery next week!!! i can't wait.

FYI for others it cost $110 to get the check done which i though was great!!

Thanks Kitty
Can you confirm that it is a 2001 model? Is it 2001/1/12 i.e 1st DEC 2001 or 12th JAN 2001

[Kitty's VR4]

it was produced in the 2nd 10 day period of November 2001, so somewhere between 20th Nov & 29th Nov....... confusing I know but that just how Mitsubishi do it.....
