FS: 1997 Mitsubishi Montero SR winter package. Asking 4k.
Has been extremely reliable and functional. Mostly stock except for new Bilstein 4600s. Well maintained including new timing belt and head gasket. No leaks that I can see.
Every single maintenance record since new, or at least for the last 15 years. 187k miles. Just drove round trip from Atlanta to Breckenridge with no problems. Never broken down on me. Not a 4 wheeler, just use it for camping and occasional dirt road. Typically put on 6k miles/ year.
I have recently done:
Sept 20- New bilstein shocks (4600s I believe). new PIAA driving lamps
August 20- new alternator
July 20- new battery
May 20- new O2 sensor and changed trans fluid
Mar 20- head gasket, water pump, spark plugs, crankshaft seal, timing belt, air filter
Nov 19- valve cover replacement, changed coolant hoses
Jun 19- valve cover gasket, spark plug seals, changed all drive belts/ pullies
may 17- new tires, brakes, rotors. I estimate 50% tread left.
New Rhino rack pioneer in Sept.
2" class 5 hitch
winter package (factory rear lockers)
leather
3rd row seats
No cracks on dash
Issues:
Not sure if the transfer case needs to be rebuilt. I never use it but just tried and it does not seem to be engaging.
drivers seat has a hole
one passenger window regulator needs to be changed
sunroof is slow- probably just needs lube but I never use it so never investigated.
Roof was oxidizing badly so I did a respray before putting on roof rack. Can't really tell, because of the rack and I matched the color pretty well so hard to see unless you're on top of the truck.
