search skymobile - mitsubishi galant

i test drove a '00 mitsubishi galant today. it felt good...in fact, it felt really good. smooth, powerful, steptronic, blah blah blah...the list goes on...go and google the car if you wanna know the full specs.



(like the picture above, the one i test drove was silver...not ideal, but still ok. not red or yellow or green can already.)

but it's not worth paying $1k a month (the car was quoted at $38k) for the 3 years left on the coe...and some more the salesman damn ah beng one. i don't think he understood half of what i asked him...luckily my colleagues were on hand to translate my "what's the mileage ah?" into it's hokkien counterpart. haha. ok, i exaggerate, but seriously...please go and learn proper england before you start doing sales lah. and so the search for the skymobile continues...

anyway, it's not easy finding a car. i've been surfing sgcarmart.com for nearly two months, but i still haven't found what i'm looking for (i can hear bono singing in my head already)...or maybe i'm just picky...but it is a big investment after all...

any other suggestions for the skymobile? here's the criteria:

budget: maximum $40k (preferably in the $20k - $30k region)
colour: preferably black or white (but can always respray, so doesn't really matter)
coe: left at least 4-5 years
plate number: not too jia lat (no "4444" or "7474")
fuel economy: at least 10km/l
road tax / insurance: as low as possible
leather seats: preferred, but not a must
mileage: less than 20,000km per year of usage
engine: at least got some power one lah


actually i've already lowered my expectations already...it doesn't need to be a sports car (which kinda makes my previous post a little redundant now)...i'll sacrifice for my virgin used car. haha.

got good lobang, please let me know: hsutienchi@gmail.com

cheers. =)
