Mitsubishi Legnum/Delica/3000GT
Plans for a 2020 relaunch of the Mitsubishi Express shouldn’t affect sales of the ‘grey market’ Delica.
Early versions are disappearing quickly but being replaced by better equipped 2001-06 models at under $15,000 and 2007-09 versions only $5000 more. Still out there but disappearing as imports seem to have stopped are two of Mitsubishi’s more interesting twin-turbo models; the Legnum wagon and 3000GTO coupe.
The 3000 was sold here for a while in Twin Turbo and non-Turbo form but buyer response was abysmal and the recent price recovery comes as a surprise.
The 2.5-litre Legnum VR4 is a good thing but people seem wary of mechanical complexity so they are stuck in the $6000-9000 bracket.
Legnum VR4 1996-01 $6920 [17]
Delica 1994-2000 $9955 [18]
Delica 2001-04 $12,290 [14]
Delica 2005-06 $14,090 [20]
