Mitsubishi Starion/ 3000GT/ Cordia/ Scorpion

Asking prices of around $50,000 for early Starions may come as a shock, especially when a car advertised at $55,000 reportedly managed just $8000 at auction. Realistic money for a good JA model seems still to be around $20,000. A Mitsubishi on the cusp of extinction is the Cordia Turbo. They are rarely seen and any really good examples that survive might make $10,000. The Sigma-based Scorpion is less daunting to drive, easier to locate and worth less than $5000. Twin-turbo, all-wheel steered 3000GT coupes were largely ignored in Australia when new yet are available as used imports in surprising numbers. Twin turbos are a mechanically complex car and costly to run so $15,000 is plenty.
