Help with buying an 89-91 Galant!!!!! - Australia

[Benjo88]

Gday,
I'm looking at buying a Galant for my first car.
I have had a look at a '91 HH SE, done 270000km's ($2800) and a '89 HG SE, done 200000km's with some panel damage ($4500).

I have read reviews etc on the car and found that it is a good alround car.
I would really like to know what the difference is between the HH and the HG and the SE, GSR, VR-4. Are there any other models in Aus? eg. (GS, GSX, GTi etc).?????????

Is there a website avaliable that can give me all this information?
What is the average price for a good condidtion Galant in Australia?
Thanks

your 3 best choices are the following

GSR - Hatch / FWD N/A Tuned 4Cylinder 2.0
VR4 - Sedan / 4WD Turbo 4 Cylinder 2.0
ZR4 - Hatch / 4WD Turbo 4 Cylinder 2.0

those the 3 best choices i have GSR , undergoing custom body work at the moment i love my Gbanger

the k's r pretty damn high on those cars, u'd be up for an engine recon or engine swap.
dunno bout a zr4 :?

SE=2.0L SOHC FWD hatch, same gizmos and stuff as the other 2
GSR=2.0L DOHC FWD hatch, body kit, may have electronic suspension (which will b the first thing 2 go on it)
VR4=2.0L DOHC AWD sedan Turbo, intercooler, etc, same interior as other 2

ok i checked www.autotrader.com.au, checked NSW/VIC. Theres 10 ads for galants.

Standout:

Mitsubishi Galant HJ SE 1993 2.0L automatic, 188000kms, 11 month rego, log books, UYR-546, very good condition $5300 CROYDON PARK 02-9716 5330.

yes, its only the SE model, but the 93 model galants arent very common! not as much as the 89-91 models. if u can stretch ur budget to it, i'd say go for this one. and it looks pretty nice 2 https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif
there r others advertised, but they dont have pics, so i cant say a yay or nay!

thanks for that, i think i'll go for an SE or a GSR.
Are all the models 16 Valve?

Thanks for that reference, but i'd rather a manual

Here's a GSR in Brunswick that's had a replacement engine put in and only done 60,000km's ($4500). WHat do u think?

Looks alright but i would be inclined to go for a Jap Import version of the Vr4 ( i mean the only VR4's are Jap imports anyway).

yeah but a vr4 is like $8000 min, and as he is referring to it as a first car, i'm guessing he's probly povo!

not sure if an se is 16valve lol i have one but dont know https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif
yeah the car looks good, dunno how long is left in the engine. colour's good (dunno if u've seen the baby poo brown colour, but damn i hate it!)

price is a lil steep, would hafta b in good nick 4 that price.
