The precursor to the Magna, Mitsubishi’s Sigma rode the mid-size car boom alongside the Toyota Corona, Datsun 200B and Mazda Capella in the late ’70s and early ’80s.
A top-seller locally thanks to a strong marketing campaign, smooth balance-shaft four-cylinder engines and handling that was improved over time.
Its limited practicality compared to larger models like Commodore and Falcon saw production fizzle out, paving the way for a wide-body Magna.
The line-up currently starts at $1,030 for the Sigma GL and ranges through to $3,630 for the range-topping Sigma GL.
Phone a Mitsubishi wrecker like Mitspares or Imlachs Auto Parts and they might well be able to supply you with all the parts you need.

WITH little registration and no roadworthy certificate, your Sigma is going to be difficult to sell. At best, if it is running well and is in reasonably good condition it would be worth about $500. If you sell it without a roadworthy certificate, on the understanding the buyer will arrange to make it roadworthy, you should sign the transfer papers and advise the authorities that you have disposed on the car, even giving them a copy of the paperwork. That way they can chase the buyer for the paperwork and you will be in the clear in the event the buyer gets a parking fine or speeding ticket. As for the wreckers, you will get only a couple of hundred dollars if they're interested in taking it off your hands.

I'M GUESSING the old girl isn't really roadworthy if it's rusted, but try selling it. If it's mechanically sound it might be worth a few dollars to someone in a similar situation to yourself who needs some spares. Otherwise, give the wreckers and scrap-metal merchants a call. They'll probably take it off your hands free if you deliver it to their yard.
