1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt Base Coupe 2-door 3.0l Only 55,000 Miles! on 2040-cars

Year:1993 Mileage:55000

I'm selling my 1993 3000GT which I've owned since 1996.  I bought this car with about 20,000 miles on it, and have not driven it much.  In the last five years, it has probably had five miles put on it.  It has 55,000 miles on it right now, very low for a 20 year old car.  Car is completely stock other than an aftermarket Pioneer cd player.  I have never driven this car in winter but it has been outside.  Here's your chance to get a lower mileage 3000GT which hasn't been molested.

This car hasn't been driven in years.  It will probably need a tuneup or to be looked over before driving daily.  It does start, though sometimes it turns over for 20-30 seconds before catching.  Once started it will run and can be driven.  The check engine light is on.  The car nas a new battery.  No other work has been done in at least five years.  So you can imagine it will need something -- oil change, tuneup, plugs, etc.

This car does have some paint loss.  The back deck has spots where you're down to a primer.  The passenger side mirror also has issues.  The top edge of the driver's door has the same problem.  This car was not driven in the winter, but the paint in some areas is certainly worn and will need to be addressed.  This car had some hail damage in 2006 or 2007 that was fixed, so the roof and some areas do have new paint on them.  Front Mitsu star is no longer red, has faded and looks off-white. Paint the back deck and passenger mirror and you'd have a sharp looking car.

Car has a tint job that's many years old, it's bubbling in many places.  See the pictures.

Interior is clean and lightly used.  Leather wrapped wheel, shift knob, brake all have age cracking in leather.  Car has an aftermarket CD player from the same 1993-95 vintage.   Works, but power antenna in back does not raise.

Dash has a small crack up front.  Vents are loose under windshield.  Wipers need replaced.  Some light rust on black trim area where wipers sit.  Nothing serious.  

I ran a car with this miles through Kelly Blue Book in fair condition (the worst condition they had) and it said $4600.  I know this car will need some work so I'm starting below that.

Japanese government chides Mitsubishi over recall delays

Sat, 27 Apr 2013

An official with the transport ministry in Japan has some stern words for Mitsubishi, taking the carmaker to task for not being more proactive and honest about its recalls. An investigation into The Tri-Star last December found Mitsubishi was tardy investigating problems and didn't explain itself forthrightly to the transport ministry about the issues. None of Mitsubishi's actions were illegal, and we should stress that this is a dialogue with Mitsubishi in Japan, not Mitsubishi Motors North America.
The official advised the automaker to, "Come up with plans for improvement, implement them and report them to the ministry." It looks like the company will get more practice than it wants in that department, having to announce another recall for the Outlander PHEV over software and hardware glitches. Those recalls come just after Mitsu finally figured out the problem with overheating lithium-ion batteries that caused a production halt of the plug-in hybrid SUV.

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Concept-S shows what a facelift can do [w/video]

Fri, 03 Oct 2014

Sometimes you need a second chance to get things right. Technologically, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is a pretty cool vehicle, with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder and additional electric motors providing more thrust. However, the CUV never really looked the part for all of its innovation. The Mitsubishi designers are taking another crack with the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Concept-S at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, and the vehicle shows what a massive improvement some tweaks can make.
The most obvious of these changes is the completely different front end with a more vertical design. The headlights are reshaped with LED running lights outlining them, and the new airdam that puts a massive X right on the front grille in black and chrome with some more LEDs down below. The designers don't stop there and have a major revision to the rear with taillights running all the way across. Inside, there's black wood grain trim and leather seats.
The update takes the CUV from boring to somewhat exciting, and the even better news is that some of these updates might make it to a rumored refresh in 2016 that could even come here. Scroll down to watch Mitsubishi's teaser video for the Concept-S with more views of it and the company's full press release.

Your 2013 Pikes Peak Hill Climb primer: "Donuts at 14,000 feet."

Sun, 30 Jun 2013

The teams have all set up their pits and paddocks for today's run of the 91st Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, and there's nothing left to do but take a shot at the title. At 8 am Mountain time (9 am EST / 7 am PST), the first of a field of 83 bikes and 63 cars - whittled from an original field of 157 - will race 12.42 miles through 156 turns from the start gate at 9,390 feet to the summit finish at 14,110 feet. The summit is where we'll be all day, having arrived on the media bus at around 5 am and not allowed to come down until the race is finished. If it's anything like last year that could mean a 14-hour day on the top munching on donuts at the summit café, begging for hits of pure oxygen and trying to stay hydrated and warm...
Here are the event with Hyundai, we enjoyed dinner with Rhys Millen got his take on what's happened and what's about to happen. Millen said the issue that caused his engine swap last week was minor, a head gasket (a production part) that was causing a bit of hesitation and a slight drop in top speed. He said it's the first time they've stressed the engines this hard, pushing boost pressures up to 19 psi at altitude, which equates to 25 psi at sea level. Offering testament to the strength of the engines, though, he said that Paul Dallenbach's engine did the entire 2012 drift season as well as Pikes Peak, and it's the engine being used again for the hill climb this year.
We also chatted with Dallenbach, who has come back from that beastly crash last year in the Unlimited category to lead almost every practice day this year in the Time Attack class. Telling us he's happier behind the wheel this year than he has been in 20 years, he asked us, "Know what my dashboard says when I turn the car on? 'Donuts at 14,000 feet.'"
