I have a distant family member that wants to sell me an 8th gen v6 Gallant for $1200, don't know the trim level but I know it's sure as hell not a VR4. He fixes and flips cars on craigslist so I'll get it in relatively functional mechanical condition, dents and dings everywhere on it though.
Is there a reason Gallants aren't as popular as Accords or Camry's? Am I fucked if I buy it?

Galants hella unreliable

No one could be dumb enough to legitimately ask this question.

They were typically owned by niggers like how Nissans are owned by niggers

But to answer your question OP, they required premium while accords and Camrys didn't, plus Mitsubishi paint jobs are utter shit, the 8th gens in the US after the 2002 facelift are subjectively worse than prefacelift, but other than that their actually good cars

if he's trying to pawn it off on you instead of selling it on craigslist like usual then it's a good enough sign that no one wants the turd, dumbass.

I drove a 2.4 Galant 8th gen as a loaner before and it was pretty good, I can imagine how much better it would be with the Eclipse motor in it

You think maybe there's a reason it's a "meme"?
