This vehicle was purchased in 2012 through eBay when it had 18,000 miles on it. That seller apparently found and bought it at a police auction earlier the same year. The story was that it had sat in impound/storage for over 24 years after the vehicle was involved in a drug bust and subsequent car chase - thus the low mileage. The short story is that since I bought it, the engine was torn down to the block and rebuilt with new rings, pistons, bearings, and even a new head. Also replaced water pump, gas pump, radiator, heater core, turbo, computer, coil, and battery. 

The leather interior is pristine as is the dash and carpet. All gauges work, even the original cassette player. The exterior is immaculate with a beautiful gloss black paint and NO rust either on the body or the frame. The rims are original but do show their 28 years of age. I would guess that the tires have about 12,000 miles on them. This car is 99.9% stock with the only known after market item being the coil. All features/options work except the rear wiper - I just never got around to dealing with it. Since the rebuild, I've taken it on two road trips and besides being faster than a raped ape, it drives and handles like new. It has been appraised by a certified, professional appraiser at over $14,000.

You will NOT find a Starion that looks nicer, is more solid, has less miles AND drives better than this stock, pristine vehicle. I would drive it anywhere, anytime across country OR it is clean enough AS IS to go right to car shows and be considered the pride of the show.

** I have the original eBay listing that I bought this vehicle from as well as the appraisal, receipts for all stated work, plus other paperwork documented the history and mileage of this vehicle for any SERIOUS buyer **

Mitsubishi Mirage bows in Montreal without a name, Canadian sales promised

Sun, 20 Jan 2013

The Detroit Auto Show had plenty of major debuts for North American car buyers, but the Montreal Auto Show is being used for the North American debut of a new subcompact hatchback from Mitsubishi. Although this car is unnamed, it is almost identical to the redesigned Mirage we saw back at the 2011 Tokyo Auto Show (and has been on sale in Asian markets such as Thailand since last year), but it is unclear if the car will carry this name when it goes on sale for our neighbors to the north starting this fall.
Aside from a slightly less annoying shade the of green we saw the car painted in at the Tokyo show, there are a few changes made for the car's Canadian debut. The biggest difference is that it is almost three inches longer, which is likely a result of the new rear fascia that is also visually different with some altered lines and small, circular reflectors. Other changes include a bigger three-cylinder engine (with a 1.2-liter displacement instead of the Tokyo car's 1.0-liter engine) and headlights that have new amber lenses for side reflectors.
There is still no word as to whether or not we'll see this new car in Mitsubishi's US lineup anytime soon, but it does seem like a good competitor against cars like that Mazda2, Chevrolet Spark and Hyundai Accent.

Mitsubishi debuts Concept CA-MiEV, a new suburban EV with a 186-mile range

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

Mitsubishi is stretching the electric jellybean. For years, the i-MiEV was regular presence at Mitsubishi's auto show booths around the world, and the car rightfully earned its nickname because of its rounded shape. Today, at the Geneva Motor Show, Mitsubishi finally unveiled a version of the i-MiEV that looks much more more at home among the alternative-powertrain car fleet of the near future.
But there's more being elongated here than just the shape. The official range of the standard i (as the i-MiEV is known in the US) is 62 miles. The Concept CA-MiEV - where the CA stands for Compact and Advanced - is supposed to be able to go 300 kilometers (186 miles) from a 28-kWh lithium-ion battery and lightweight 80-kW motor/inverter/charger unit. This is kind of astonishing, given the range estimates of other compact and midsize EVs on the market today - most are in the 80-100-mile range. Of course, the specific test used to get the 186-mile result matters, too, since the regular i received 98 miles on the LA4 driving cycle range. The US-i has a 16-kWh pack.
The increased distance means that Mitsubishi is talking about the Concept CA-MiEV as the "suburban EV," with enough range for "about one week of driving for an average European driver." If you need more, Mitsubishi hints that the flat battery pack leaves room for a range-extender. Add in convenience features like WiTricity wireless charging and the ability for the car to send an emergency email if it's stolen, and you've got the commuting vehicle of the future. With a coefficient of drag of just 0.26 and boomerang lights, of course.
