Opinions wanted: Mitsubishi Challenger 1996

[2MEKE]

I don't anything about these vehicle but want to hear your opinions.
Are there any known issues with them?
Are they coils all round?
Wouldn't ever be used for any serious 4x4 work...maybe 25% gravel road use.
This is one that's being considered.

Cheers

The Challenger is very much under rated. A good sized vehicle and usually fairly reliable.
IFS front and coil rear. There are lift kits available and I think diffs are same as Pajero so plenty of spares available.
I have often wondered why they are not used more off road as they tend to be very capable for what they are. Probably cost in recent years as they don't have age against them like the Surf's etc.
