#52 of 81 Endeavor Gas usage by rfmehl May 31, 2004 (3:45 pm)
Have pretty much used regular (87 octane) for 04 endeavor w/o any discernable problems. Have 3.5k miles on it. Would recommend using both regular and premium and see if you can tell any difference, but I can't and am happy to save the 20 cent difference (4 dollars per fillup).

Replying to: jea (May 26, 2004 9:18 pm) I use 89 octane in both the Endeavor and the Kia, haven't noticed any lack of power. I actually drove the wife's Kia this weekend to compare it to my Endeavor since it had been awhile since I drove her vehicle. I think the Kia has a slight edge at high end power, I typically drive between 80 - 85mph on the expressways and you really don't notice much difference until you get over this. To me the Endeavor does handle slightly better, though my wife may disagree but the Kia seems to have off roading in it's favour. Still love them both, very happy with their performance so far!

#55 of 81 Warranty or just market gimmick? by kodename Jul 14, 2004 (8:56 pm)
Mr jersey: I wish I could bet $100 on your theory that we won't be driving gasoline vehicles in 10 years.Even with the China market opening and more and more demand for gasoline, I don't see how the whole thing can change in so short a time as 10 years. I'm no expert, but a bicycle is a better form of transportation then the current crop of all electric vehicles available, and as far as hydrogen goes, it's not going to be ready for the masses for quite some time if ever.Remember some said Electrics would be able to replace the gasoline car by now and they are not even close.How about the Chrysler Turbines of the 60's? Something will have to change, but I wouldn't bet against the gasoline engine just yet. A discovery of oil in China or Russia or some where else is just as likely as not. As far as the 10 year power train warranty, isn't it more a marketing ploy, then a real purchase advantage? The warranty is for protection against DEFECTS, and only defects.Most of these componets if indeed defective would go bad rather quickly. If they go bad after 9 years of use and the gearbox or whatever has water damage or low/no oil, or is just plain worn out.I don't see any manufacturer stepping up to give you a free replacement componet. Am I wrong?
#56 of 81 Warranty or just market gimmick? by fushigi Jul 19, 2004 (8:34 am)
The point is that the company has placed itself in a position (under a legally binding contract) to have to support the vehicle for 10 years. So if Mitsu stopped selling in the US, they would still have to maintain parts and service capability for 10 years after they stop selling. Yes, there's the question of who would provide it if the company went under. I would think the provider would be set up and financed by Mitsu's major stockholders or by the parent company in Japan itself. Also, they could go under as a dealer network but still be profitable as a service provider (for non-warranty work). The only real downside would be that resale would be truly horrible - much worse than it is now. Parts availability will not be an issue; as long as there are cars on the road, Mitsu or a 3rd party will supply parts. I still see Deloreans, Renaults, and Daewoos on the road (although not every day) so we can infer that parts for other 'deceased' brands are still available; Mitsu would not be any different. Really, Mitsu's financial issues, with the exception of impact on resale, shouldn't be a major factor in choosing to buy one of their vehicles.
#57 of 81 04 Mitsu Endeavor deal? by dieselg4 Jan 10, 2005 (7:35 pm)

Replying to: fm1966 (Apr 29, 2004 7:30 pm) Hey Karen - Your payment request got me thinking. $275/mo for 72 months 5.15% interest amounts to $16,836. Adding in 2k rebat and 3k trade, you'd have to agree to a price of $21,836, and that's not including taxes, title, and licensing. You'll have to get 7,664 from somewhere, either them upping your trade or coming down on price. What kind fo trade do you have?

Relatively small engine, towing capacity <3000. My enclosed trailer and cycle approach that limit. Any concerns? Replies to this message: kirstie_h (Jan 24, 2005 7:06 am)

Replying to: steve_ (Apr 20, 2004 8:44 am) Hey guys. I really need your feedback. I am in the market for a 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor for my wife. She absolutely loves the SUV. What I am looking to purchase is an XLS model, AWD with the sunroof/coldzone package. I have posted an e-mail quote I got from a local dealer. Please let me know if you think this is a “good Deal” Thanks Dear Sir: “I am giving you a phenomenal price on the 05 Endeavor XLS with a sunroof/coldzone package!! The MSRP on this vehicle is $32,394. Dealer Invoice is $30,480. I will sell for $28680 ($1800 under invoice) minus your $2000 manufacturer warranty. This would be $26,680 plus tax and tags of course!! This vehicle comes with standard side air bags, which would have to added on and 04, or 04.5. The 04, or 04.5 are very difficult to find, and you would end up having to go up in equipment, which is more $$, just to get the 04 or 04.5!!! The actual difference in price between model years is about $380. Obviously the rebate is $2000 different as well. We have black, titanium, dover white, silver, and steel blue all in stock and ready to go for this price!! Thanks and I look forward to doing business with you!” Replies to this message: charles12 (Jul 22, 2005 7:12 am)
