The MITSUBISHI GALANT (1997-03) 4DR SALOON 2.5 V6 24V SPORT is a large, four-door petrol saloon, sitting in the traditional family and executive-car part of the UK used market rather than the hatchback or SUV categories. Its Sport name and V6 engine give it a more distinctive, performance-minded character than everyday transport. Rather than a high-volume modern choice, mycarcheck.com has recorded 17 checks across eight distinct VINs, so the sample is small. Those records show an average private-sale valuation of £300, average latest recorded mileage of 131,000 miles and annual use of 5,000 miles. The cars averaged about 4.6 previous keepers. Best suited to drivers seeking family or commuting transport with more character than a mainstream saloon, the Galant offers a smooth V6 and roomy four-door layout. Less common than popular rivals, it is a distinctive alternative, but its age makes careful checks of condition and running costs especially important.
