#677 of 891 Montero Sport - End of Lease by baylorbear99 Jun 23, 2003 (5:49 pm)
My wife's lease on her 1999 Montero Sport is up in December. Other than exceeding the number of miles allowed, is there any thing we need to be aware of when we turn it in? How picky is Mitsubishi in regards to wear and tear? Any input or suggestions would be appreciated.   Thanks,   Chris
#678 of 891 2000 Montero Sport Towing Vibrations by willoughby Jul 17, 2003 (4:42 pm)
2000 Montero Sport LS. I have an aftermarket trailer hitch and am towing a 16' Hobie Cat. The Sport starts to exhibit a cyclic vibration (not a constant vibration) when approaching 60 mph. The vibration is intolerable past 65 mph. Only happens when towing the Hobie. I have not tried towing another boat or vehicle, but my Nissan truck tows the Hobie w/o any problems. Has anyone else seen this problem? I am leaning toward my Walmart Goodyear Tracker tires.   Regards,   Fleet
#679 of 891 Happy Montero Sport Owners by rhodges2 Aug 27, 2003 (8:03 pm)
I've read all the posts regarding problems with brakes, front end, squeaks etc. I'm hear to say we bought our 1997 Montero Sport XLS in February of '97 and we have had absolutely no problems with it other than finding a caring dealer to have the service work done (Browning Mits). We didn't baby it either. Oil changes when we thought about it, and 60k mile tune up, tires, and a battery. That's it. It was even rear ended a couple years ago, fixed with no lingering rattles. It is now approaching 100,000 miles and my wife refuses to get rid of it. She is attached!
#680 of 891 20 in wheels or 18's? by detng Sep 14, 2003 (2:03 pm)
has anyone who owns a Montero Sprt added larger wheels? If so, how has it affected handling, ride, etc. Interested in add-on. Thanks. Just to let everyone know I've owned my sport ltd. 2000 since oct.99' no trouble at all, no rattles, loose anything, mileage 17-19mpg, 54,000 on the car now. 2wd, so never tow. Tight as can be. Only complaint is too short travel in rear suspension.
#681 of 891 New LS 4WD by shiftharder Oct 16, 2003 (6:22 pm)
This board does`nt seem to be active but in case anyone browses I just want to let you know there is a new LS 4WD MSport owner - pick it up tomorrow.   I bought a 2003 - new - basically because they are trying to get rid of the last of the 03`s - picked it up for 29K Canadian and that seems to be what they sell for in US$ judging from other posts here from Americans. This is approx 22K US$ based on todays exchange rate and thats a good price for a LS - plus they are throwing in a cargo cover and block heater at no charge.   I based the decision on getting a large 4WD for less than I could get a new Escape or Liberty (my other choices) plus the fact that I liked the looks and interior - I agree it could have a bit more power but at my age I find it acceptable.   I will keep you posted on any positive/negative experiences I have with the truck or dealer.

#683 of 891 2 Weeks later by shiftharder Oct 31, 2003 (4:57 pm)
I have had my 03 LS for just over 2 weeks now and am still a happy camper - delivery was smooth and the dealer (Albi Mitsubishi - Mascouche Qc.) delviered on time with all the extra`s they promised - no BS or run around.   The truck has preformed as expected after reading some concerns posted on Edmunds I kinda knew what to expect. So far the only minor complaint is the speed swaying but this was expected with a large side to catch the wind and it is no worse than my old Chrysler mini van.   The complaints of lack of power posted on this site are unfounded as far as I am concerned - I will agree it is not as quick as the Liberty or Escape I tested but it is very acceptable and I don`t have a gripe here at all.   Will post again in a few weeks.
#684 of 891 Montero Sport - Broken Crankshaft by ldb2 Jan 06, 2004 (3:42 pm)
I have had a 2000 Montero Sport for one year. The crankshaft is broken. Warranty company is currently inspecting, but I'm not getting any info. Has anyone else had any problems with this? What would cause a crankshaft to break?
#685 of 891 Used 2000 DES TRIP ODOMETER by alicemitsu Jan 21, 2004 (12:56 pm)
Can ANYONE venture a guess on how BOTH TRIP ODOMETERS gave me a reading of 74,000+ miles the first time I clicked on them? The MAIN ODOMETER read 37,425 miles when we bought it at the dealer last week! Could the TRUE ODOMETER have been screwed with???
#686 of 891 2000 Montero Sport 60,000 Mile Service by jackatrolo Jan 21, 2004 (2:43 pm)
Hi there,   I called about scheduling my routine 60,000 mile maintenance and the dealership quoted me $1,180. In the past there services have appeared to be fairly reasonable (I am not too much of a "shop around guy") but I usually get a couple of quotes. Does the $1,180 amount seem high (the service tech said spark plugs and timing belt are the big ticket items)? The amount kind of took me by surprise. Any comments would be welcome. Thanks.
