I happen to have a man in my life who adores Galants and has treasured his own since 1990. He has decided to purchase another from the 2001/2003 period, a 2.5 V6. As a Galant freak he has collected all sorts of sales brochures dating back 20 years or so. However, he asked me to look at the sales brochure for the 2001/2003 period and I have accidentally put it in the recycling with the newspapers. Divorce proceedings are imminent. The sales brochure that he refers to has the details of the Galant Elegance etc in it - the ones where the front body of the car looked like a shark nose. I know this is not a technically accurate description for all you officianados out there, but its the best I can muster. If anyone knows where I can get one of these sales brochures so that I can alleviate his grief (and believe me I am not joking here) please let me know as soon as you can.
Thanks for reading this - here's hoping someone can help me.

My 2001 did the same thing...get the OEM plugs for it.
Thanks. :confuse: :confuse:
I love my Galant, it's the best car I've ever owned. I bought it new, and I've taken really good care of it. Mechanic says the only other thing wrong with it is that it needs a new paint job (ah, Florida summers--it was black, once!). I'm fairly comfortable with the mechanic, but I'm blown away by the price. Is two grand too much to be paying for this type of repair? Thanks in advance!

I would suggest that showing a concept so agreeable to the customer base at 2007 - 2008 auto shows might mean it could realistically be ramped up for production by 2009 - 2010? Isn't is a fact that most concept cars are either not built at all...or put into production within 1 or 2 years after they are displayed.
Of course this could be wishful thinking on my part.
Any ideas on what my next step should be? Who on the ladder can I call next? The dealer aparently can do nothing for me.
This means the planned redesign may be pushed to an extra two years, till 2010/2011 or at least a few years away from now.
While I like my Galant a lot, after nearly 9 solid years of ownership I am tiring of it. It is the longest I've ever owned a car. I'm not sure if I can go another couple of years before replacing it.

It's not much of a change... Also, it is expected that the mechanicals are virtually identical to the current car.
So yes, we will likely have to wait until 2010 for the redesigned 10th generation Galant.
Owners manual recommends that the timing belt on this Galant be replaced at 60k miles. What are your experiences? Do you guys think I can take chances up-till 90K (as it is recommended on Toyota Camry)? And what other things should be done along with the timing belt?
Thanks in advance
You should replace the water pump along with the timing belt. You should also replace any drive belts (these are belts that your car has in addition to the timing belt). The reason for replacing the drive belts is because they have to be removed anyways to access the timing belt. So, by having these replaced, tell the mechanic that you are willing to pay for the new drive belts themselves, but not for additional labor, as he would have to remove, and re install the old belts anyways.
Does anyone know what the problem could be or have you ever had this issue?
I know I am embarrassed to drive my car in public., however, I put all my savings into buying this car., not knowing there was an external paint problem.
The only request that I have with Mitsubishi is that they reimburse all of the Galant owners, that have fading exterior body paint issues...a credit of a minumum of $1500.00 with customer's choice of colors to paint their vehicle at their nearest automobile body painting shop to have these vehicles repainted in a proper manner. If need be pay for rental vehicles for the duration of the painting process.
The least the Mitsubishi Car manufacturer can do is get us a supreme exterior automobile paint ( especially without lead) on their expense.
I have never been so disappointed in an automobile as I have with my 2004 Galant.
Maybe someone has a conscience within the corporation to make this right. Not all of Americans have the money to repaint their vehicles due to corporate neglect...
What a shame that we ( Americans) have to fight to get what we pay for.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It can be 40 degrees outside and the and controls "off" and the vents are still blowing hot air...WHY????? Abviously the air is coming from the engine... That should not be happening.
I would like Mitsubishi to come clean and recall all of these problems. The sooner the better....if they want their business to continue.
Does anyone know how to contact Mitsubishi directly????
My 02 Galant is doing the same thing. I replace the thermostat but still no heat.
