Always loved the TJ VRX I had 10yrs ago so when I happened upon a 1 owner 2008 380 series 3 VRX in silver with the rare manual, black leather and sunroof, I just had to buy it.
Turns out it was an ex Tonsley Employee's final lease car before they shut shop, so he ordered it with all the boxes ticked and when the lease ended he bought it outright.
203k's, Full on time dealer history.
With the exception of the Barra Turbo, the Mitsubishi 3.5 and 3.8 were arguably the best 6-cylinder engine of the local cars. Smooth, rorty sounding, decently quick. I remember driving a TL Magna Executive rental back in the day, was very impressed with how the engine sounded and performed, made the car feel quite pokey.



I'd give this a pass, torched them up very nicely...........................
