Mitsubishi is an oddity among the major Japanese automakers. It doesn't have the "reliability" stamp of Honda/Toyota, but it doesn't make many "fun" cars like Subaru (except for the Evo and maybe the VR4 things...but that is a story for another time)...but you shouldn't overlook some of the 90s Bishis because they offer a surprising bang per your buck.

People always ask how a car makes it to the pages of Daily Turismo. I always tell them practice...practice. No seriously...the real trick is to be: (1) Interesting -- doesn't have to be an Alpine A110, but if you are a Civic, you'd better be the nicest Civic with some crazy gear ratios or an extraneous exhaust valve...(2) Cheap...not like $4.99 cheap...but affordable and not another example of some jerk trying to turn collecting cars into collecting stamps. That's it. It also helps to be sent in as a tip. Like this next 1992 Mitsubishi Pajero offered for $7,600 located in Houston, TX via craigslist. Tip from Jeff G.

So today, we've got a treat for you. It is a superbly written and well conceived ad written about what is probably a horrible car, but regardless, we grow to like the seller by the end of his thorough, articulate and grammatically correct ad.
