 2001 MITSUBISHI GALANT GTZ

The GTZ was basically a fully loaded, no-option car that had certain exclusive features, such as the spoiler, side cladding, and suspension. A nice GTZ is hard to find.

A two-owner car. I have owned this since April of 2002.

It has 156,150 miles. The motor runs very well and uses no oil.

At 144,627 miles the transmission was rebuilt at a cost of $2000+.

Timing belt was replaced at 115,000 miles.

Radiator and both hoses were replaced at 118,000 miles.

Mitsubishi Eclipse GT 18" wheels with Toyo Proxes 225/40ZR18 tires. The tires are pretty well worn out.

Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs

Aftermarket halo headlights and alteeza taillights

Custom grille. I fabricated this myself and installed it when the headlights and taillights were put in.

Body and paint are very nice with just a couple of scratches and nicks. See photos. The paint is going bad on top of the rear-view mirrors, but is very nice everywhere else. Gas filler door is messed up and will not close properly. Again, see pictures.

Interior is very nice for age and mileage. Gray leather with factory floor mats. Headliner starting to come loose slightly at rear only. Dash has a crack. Clean trunk area

Everything works, engine runs very well, oil and filter always changed at 3000-4000 miles. Premium oil and filters always used. Clean engine compartment.

Transmission works properly. Rebuilt by a shop very familiar with Mitsubishi transmissions, so it was done right. I have the receipt for this.

There is a slight, intermittent vibration that occurs when under a load, that has been tentatively traced to a bad engine or transmission mount. This is not an engine or transmission vibration, nor is it tire or wheel related. The front rotors are just starting to cause slight steering wheel vibration when the brakes are applied. Easily corrected with new rotors or turning the ones on there now.

I strongly recommend you come and look at this car in person before you bid. This is one of the nicer Galant GTZs left. The high bidder will be responsible for paying for the car. There is no reserve. Please do not bid on the car first, then come look at it and decide you don't want it. This is not how it works.

See my feedback and bid with confidence. Car is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty implied or stated. I am an individual, not a dealer.

Thanks for looking and good luck!

Mitsubishi leaving US? No, it's doubling its marketing budget

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

We rarely hear any major news coming out of the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) annual meeting in Orlando, FL, but Mitsubishi executives found this a fitting place to announce a big push for increased advertising here in the US. A report in Automotive News states that the struggling Japanese automaker is returning to advertising in prime time television for the first time since 2005, with the push slated to begin in June and July for the launch of the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander shown above.
Despite dwindling sales and a shrinking lineup, Mitsubishi's new North American chairman, Gayu Uesugi, has said on multiple occasions that the automaker has no plans to abandon the US market. Spending extra money on marketing and advertising should be a good start to help improve sales, but a lack of fresh and competitive products is also keeping showrooms empty. Aside from the new Outlander, the AN report says that Mitsubishi spokesman Roger Yasukawa said that a "yet-to-be-named subcompact" will arrive this year, which suggests the unnamed hatchback shown below (known elsewhere as the Mirage), could be heading to the US after its North American introduction at the Montreal Auto Show last month.

Mitsubishi XR-PHEV Concept is a chronicle of an Outlander Sport foretold [w/video]

Thu, 21 Nov 2013

Mitsubishi's current Outlander Sport has done a yeoman's job since it came on the market for the 2011 model year. The affordable crossover has been one of the few bright spots in the perennially troubled automaker's lineup - it's the brand's best seller in the US and sales are up nearly 40 percent this year. The subcompact CUV has become an increasingly important part of the Mitsubishi lineup, which is why you should pay attention to this XR-PHEV Concept - it's said to presage the next-generation model.
Stylistically, this is a pretty bold little CUV, with a striking face framed by bold zig-zags of chrome that underline the narrow headlamps and frame the massive lower fascia. The profile has a dramatically tapered greenhouse with bold sheetmetal contours and a funky blacked-out A-pillar that emphasizes the hood's height. The rear end is no less dramatic, with dual-pane rear tailgate with a particularly fast rake.
As shown here, the XR-PHEV (pronounced "Cross Runner") is a four-seat CUV that motivates its front wheels through a turbocharged 1.1-liter, three-cylinder engine with 134 horsepower paired with a 120-kW electric motor. In pure-electric mode, the 14-kWh battery is said to be good for 52 miles of cruising range and the combined fuel economy bogey is 66 miles per gallon on Japan's lenient testing cycle.
