Mitsubishi 1980-2006
Fuel shortages during the late 1970s helped send Chrysler’s Sigma to the top of local sales charts, but where have all of these significant cars gone?
Unique-to-Australia 2.6-litre Sigmas deliver decent performance yet cost less than $3500. Sigma Turbos have become near impossible to find and late-1980s Magnas are headed the same way.

Those that did appear included an excellent-looking Elite at less than $2000 but most sell for under $1000. Later Magnas which are worth saving include the All-Wheel Drive TJ and TL models and now-scarce Magna Ralliart. These sold in small numbers from 2002-04 but when new cost almost $50K. Cars in today’s market are a tenth of that.
Sigma 2.6 $2960 [5]
Sigma Turbo N/S Magna TM-TP $1935 [4]
Magna AWD $3040 [25]
Magna Ralliart $5500 [5]
