I owned a very nice VRG for 3 years. Even though the prices the seem attractive, I would suggest you look at another vehicle. These Galants are old and parts are becoming ever more difficult to find. I called all over the country looking for Japanese cradles when mine needed replacing (front and rear double wishbone suspension) but had to settle for Korean-made which didn't last long.
If you aren't lucky like I was to get one with a good working GDI engine, the conversion to 6A13 is a hefty cost considering the value of the vehicle and it's a gas guzzler. 4G63 is even more expensive. The local model has a reliable N/A 4G63 but it's also guzzler and replacement parts are also difficult to find if your car is down and you need the parts quickly.
I was very lucky to not have any issues with my high pressure fuel pump but I wouldn't touch another Mitsubishi GDI engine of that era with a 10 feet pole.
This was my car. Feeling all the feels now

Wow, I saw your prior Galant for sale and was really considering it, thanks for sharing that feedback. It seemed like a good candidate for a VR conversion later on too.
I just really like these cars and always wanted one compared to these newer cars. I was even considering buying parts from the US as I know they sold there too.
So correct me if wrong, what you're really saying is don't buy as a daily driver unless you can source a donor chassis for spares?
