Hi everyone,
I am new on the forum.
I am in a dilemma of buying a used pajero.
Please help me get some idea on wether or not to go ahead with the buy, here it goes:
I am in the process of buying a dealer used (originally used by Dept of defence) 54,867 driven Mitsubishi Pajero GLX LWB (4x4)NW MY14 Manual for $28,000.
When I ran a car history report there was a "possible odometer rollback"
Kilometres Date reported Alerts
54,867 14/05/2019 Possible Odometer Rollback
58,824 13/12/2018
54,629 14/09/2018
Looks like a few thousand kilometres (is this a minor thing or something I must consider?), I think the car is in a fairly good condition from what I have seen. Din't look at the underbody so can't confirm if it has been driven off-road. Tires have another 6-8mm life.
Will have a test drive tomorrow, anything in particular I should check for apart from the regular (few highway miles, some suburb miles and a reverse, listen for squeaks and feel the suspension etc) .
Following are my questions:
Is the price quoted fair for a car like this?
Should I be concerned about the odometer rollback issue?
Is there anything during my next inspection / test-drive that is like a must do or a must check.
Tried looking for a user review of the car but couldn't find one, could any one point me in the right direction?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Mithun.
