The Mitsubishi Galant represents a viable option when considering mid-size sedans. It does everything reasonably well and is enjoyable to drive.
The Galant is a front-wheel-drive sedan with a 160 hp 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine, 230 hp 3.8-liter V-6, or 258 hp 3.8-liter V-6 with variable-valve timing. A four-speed automatic transmission comes with the I-4 engine and a five-speed automatic comes with the V-6s. New this year, all the transmissions come with manual-shift mode. Available trims are: DE, ES, and Ralliart. The standard safety features include a tire pressure monitoring system and front-, side-, and side-curtain airbags totaling six airbags throughout the car.
For 2008, the Mitsubishi Galant loses its GTS trim and receives two new color options.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2008 Mitsubishi Galant, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2008 Mitsubishi Galant for less money than when it was new. If the 2008 Mitsubishi Galant was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2008 Mitsubishi Galant is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2008 Mitsubishi Galant will have a good-fair resale value. This assumes that the 2008 Mitsubishi Galant is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
