New Shogun? - tpac
I am hopefully about to do a deal with my local Mitsubishi dealer on a new shape shogun, I have now had 3 shoguns all of which have been excellent and very reliable. The new model is a 2000 Y reg new shape 3.2 diesel with 52k on the clock, 1 owner. Can anyone answer the following questions?

1)What is triptronic automatic gears?
2)Is that a fair price?
3)Anyone ANY knowledge on these new shape ones?
4)My 98 model is a 2.8 Diesel, what should I expect from this new 3.2 Diesel one?

Thanks in advance.

"Tiptronic® is a special kind of transmission. It combines the convenience and refinement of the automatic transmission with the driving pleasure and dynamics of a manual transmission. The driver can switch from automatic to manual mode at any time while driving. In both modes, gear shifts take place with no power interruption."

Isn't the new 3.2 diesel the one with Direct Injection. This should make it more powerful, responsive and economical than the previous model.

Turbo-diesels and automatics work very well together, so you should be very happy.
