Congratulations! If you’re still getting accustomed to the rules of the road, a sports car like the Mitsubishi 3000GT won’t make a good first car.
For
first-time car buyers
, purchase and ownership costs, good reliability, and strong safety ratings are factors that should take top priority. While insurance providers might charge more for inexperienced drivers’ premiums due to higher accident risks, prioritizing these factors in your first car can often help offset those higher

costs.
One thing in particular you’d need to keep in mind about the Mitsubishi 3000GT is that by now, most models you’ll find for sale are likely going to have a lot of miles on them, which could bring down the price. But it also translates to more wear and tear on parts, bringing its reliability into question, so you’d likely need to anticipate higher repair costs while you own the vehicle.
Here are some additional factors worth considering when looking for a good first car:
  • Sale price
  • Current condition
  • Safety and reliability ratings
  • Gas mileage and fuel costs
  • Passenger space
  • Cargo space
  • Comfort and convenience features
  • Performance potential
  • Additional general ownership costs, like registration fees and repairs/maintenance
Once you decide what factors are most important to you, you can compare and contrast vehicles and decide what would make the right first car for you.
