Well it's been a long time since i had a Mitsi after selling off the Pajero i had, but i'm now back in a Shogun Sport Warrior!

Was looking around for a ready to use tow vehicle, and had looked at a few 4x4s (i know!!) then came across this one, so went and took a look and picked this up tonight, quite pleased with it - few scratches on the body, but nothing major and can easily sort it out over time, needs a wheel balancing or possibly bearing replaced but otherwise a very ready to go truck!

It's a 06 Shogun Sport 3.0V6 Warrior
129k on the clock, but full history up to 109k (so needs a service now me thinks!), 12 month MOT

What's the common things to watch for on these, anything i need to do / don't do????

That looks very tidy. Welcome back! Smile

Except the usual excessive rot at the chassis frame rails, there are no real down-points. Enjoy it, it looks great!

Cheers, yeah i did have a good check and although there lots of surface corrosion / rust, there's nothing big or serious - will prob rub down and stone chip what i can get to just to protect them as much as poss!!

Surface corrosion is not the problem. Just be sure that there is enough waxoyl INSIDE the chassis rails. Especially from the rear doors backwards.
