I bought this beauty a year ago from an "ebayer" in New Jersey and I am just the third owner of the Starion. The seller stated that the vehicle had been impounded by the police and subsequently put in storage for 20 years (I do have a copy of his original eBay listing plus his email stating the history of the car). He wasn't truthful on many counts, but this I can tell you: Carfax confirms that the vehicle had less than 19,000 miles on it when I bought it and it now has less than 21,000 miles. Based upon the work I've put in to it, being in storage for that many years is a reasonable assumption. Repairs/restoration has included: NEW (not used or refurbed) head, new head gasket, refurbed turbo (original), refurbed radiator, refurbed heater core, NEW fuel pump and check valve, new battery, new computer module, new water pump, PLUS the engine was torn down and rebuilt and bored with new bearings, new pistons, new rings, new valves, plus all the fixings. The "dipstick" I bought this from had the primary and secondary injector wiring reversed but a certified Mitsubishi mechanic has since fixed all known issues. The leather interior is in great shape including seats, carpet, and dash. All lights work, cruise works. Mechanically this has been restored/rebuilt to like new condition. There is NO rust anywhere although there are a couple of repairable dents in the right rear quarter panel. The paint on the composite/rubber rear spoiler has peeled off and there are some "keyed" areas on the drivers side. This a beautiful every day driver as is OR a partial or complete paint job with easily make this a show car. I truly drive this car every day I can, but do avoid driving it in bad weather that could diminish it's rust free life. Oh, numbers match as well! I've put a $200.00 deposit down on a NEW front air dam and the buyer can HAVE that deposit if you pay the balance of $75.00 + it's shipping and will include it with sale when it arrives. Sale includes a few extra parts plus a service manual.

Mitsubishi AR Concept continues a wacky, wonderful tradition [w/video]
Thu, 21 Nov 2013Mitsubishi enjoys a long history of thinking outside the literal box when it comes to designing minivans and people movers. Remember the Mitsubishi Van, a.k.a. Delica? How about the Chariot, better known to us as the Colt Vista? The Expo and Expo LRV, the twin models that succeeded it? These were all left-of-center takes on the MPV genre, and while they never sold in large volumes, we can't help but look back at them with a mix of bemusement and respect for their oddball character. Who knows? A production version of this AR Concept could be next.
According to Mitsubishi, "the comfort of a minivan and active personality of an SUV are merged at the highest levels" in the Concept AR. Us? We just think this mild hybrid concept looks kind of neat, even if it's just putting on off-road airs with its elevated ride hight, faux skid plates and black-lipped wheel wells.
Hardware-wise, this Active Runabout is less showcar and more 'real world,' with the front wheels drawing their power from a 134-horsepower, 1.1-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine paired with a 10-kW electric motor used as a belt starter generator (read: mild hybrid). A continuously variable transmission handles shifting duties.
Mitsubishi Evo snow frolic caught by aerial camera
Tue, 30 Apr 2013Guido Tschugg is a professional mountain biker and a Red Bull-sponsored athlete in downhill and four-cross. He's also a fan of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and drifting in the snow, and with the help of filmmaker Mario Feil and drone videographers airv8, the rally car and the powder are combined to glorious effect.
We could continue talking about it, but that would delay you from enjoying the two minutes of frosty beauty in the video below.
Mitsubishi says 2016 Outlander PHEV for US 'will be completely different'
Tue, 08 Jul 2014While attending the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with Mitsubishi we got a chance to speak to three Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA) executives about the Outlander PHEV, how the brand is strengthening its lineup and how it plans to promote that.
The Outlander PHEV that's quickly and quietly rolling off lots in Japan, Europe and Australia right now is not the same model we're going to get when it arrives in Fall 2015, with MMNA Executive Vice President Don Swearingen and US PR chief Alex Fedorak telling us that "it will be completely different." It can probably be viewed as the next-generation vehicle, part of the "major restyle in 2016" that will reskin the model in the new design language being applied to the brand's crossovers.
Its hybrid system is being tuned for more refinement, and the same work being done on the interior.
