  Diamante from California - 2000 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Paris and Kimberly - March 17 - 10:00 am

  Wow ... we lost our shirts buying it new even with the huge rebate and great financing. Looking to trade with only 50,000 miles and its worth nothing close to what we would have expected. Paid close to 30k and now its worth 9k??? Not a winner in my book. I like the car but money is money. We wont buy another Mitsubishi for sure.

  Almost Perfection - 2000 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Lon611 - November 12 - 5:43 am

  An amazing car, all around. I actually bought this because i loved my 93 diamante so much. interior quality + performance is top notch. only problem is that it can be slightly non-responsive from a stop (not a big deal). Exterior is sleek;the first time i saw it i was reminded of a BMW. B+/A- in my book. wish they still made these.

  Great Car for the money - 2000 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Eugene - September 11 - 2:50 pm

  Love the car but hate to see it losing value. OEM parts are ridiculously expensive and aftermarkets are hard to come by. Gas mileage is not all that great (20- 22 MPG) and heater core problem is starting to surface. I would recommend this car if you can find an exceptional deal .

  Great Car for the Price - 2000 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By M Schu - February 20 - 10:00 am

  Ive had this car for almost 3 years, and Ive really enjoyed driving it. It has good power and looks really nice. However, some components arent durable enough - at 42,000 miles the struts are already going bad. Occasionally, it doesnt shift as nicely as Id like. Plus, the rear window trim is peeling off, which looks bad. The resale value goes down quickly after you buy it new, so buy this if you want to keep it for awhile. But once you drive it, I bet youll want to keep it for awhile.

  great car - 2000 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Peggy - June 2 - 7:06 pm

  I bought this car new and have only had reliability. I have only done routine maintenance. Never broken down or replaced parts other than brakes, tires, and muffler. I have over 155,000 miles. It still rides it did new. Great riding comfort and pickup. I get about 27 miles highway and 24 around town. If they were still made I would buy another!

  Happy with my Diamante - 2000 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By MarkPenner - February 2 - 2:36 am

  I purchased my 2000 Mitsubishi Diamante in Dec. 2003. I did a lot of online research before purchasing and found that most of the people complain about its fast depreciation, but praise reliability of the car. I was looking for a good used car, so fast depreciation was a good news. Why pay $36,000 for a new, when you can get a great used car for $12,000? So, I found a Diamante with 55,000 miles online and drove it home. For two years that I owned this car I just did regular maitainance (oil, transmission fluid, brakes, put new set of tires). I had no problem with transmission, it shifts perfectly. I didnt have any problems with the heat-core either. I spent only $480 in maintainance to keep this car in excellent shape for two years.

  Great looking / performing car for the price - 2000 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By farazrehman - March 14 - 7:30 pm

  I purchased my 2000 Mitsubishi Diamante last August for two main reasons, its price and features. I couldnt find a similarly equipped toyota Camry or Honda Accord for my $9,500 budget. A few months later, the heater core O-ring failed and coolant started leaking into the vent system. The fix was costly, about $1,100 but the car has been running without a problem since. The Diamante has lots of power under the hood, the acceleration is good but the transmission gets confused sometimes i.e. downshift may not happen immediately when you need a quick boast. The interior is quiet and its ride quality is somewhere between good and excellent. The Diamante is clearly more biased towards comfort and doesnt handle as well as my previous Mazda Millenia

  Not so bad, no value - 2000 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By What the?? - October 30 - 2:00 am

  Runs well, lots of power. Lots of road noise however. I went to trade this for another Mitsubishi. No deal with financing work that much loss of value $26,000 car new and was only offered $9,000 in trade. No resale value, dealer was rude. (Not the original dealer) Other than being noisy, the car is a running dude. My transmission works well, dont know what others have experienced but mine is not a problem.

  Hasnt Let Me Down Yet - 2000 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By mitmit - September 22 - 6:53 pm

  My 2000 Mitsubishi Diamante has been extremely reliable and fun to drive. Ive always liked the styling of the Diamantes, and you get a really nice car for a reasonable price. The only disadvantages Ive observed are their poor resale value, and some components could be of higher quality. For example, I was told at 38,000 miles that my struts were going to need to be replaced soon. (However, I havent replaced them, and it still rides fine.) The other quality issues were more cosmetic in nature, like a trim piece that peeled.
