East Meadow, New York, United States

2001 Mitsubishi Galant ES - 6 Cylinder - Automatic - 144,291 Miles

New York residents please know your restrictions when bidding on this vehicle.

Runs and drives excellent.

Ice cold AC.

Looks good too!

Power windows - nice stereo.

I drove it over 88 miles to reset the computer monitors.

Unfortunately the Check Engine light came back on.

The code says "inefficient catalytic converter".

It does not affect the running condition and the car drives fine.

It was 90 degrees out when I drove it and I had to keep the AC on low or icicles would have formed in the car.

Since the Check Engine light comes on, it will not pass NY State inspection.

If the vehicle sits and idles for 5 or more minutes you will get a very, very slight puff of blue smoke as you drive off.  After that - nothing.

It is this condition that probably caused the catalytic converter to be inefficient.

If you run some cat cleaner through the system the cat will probably become efficient again.

I don't have time to keep driving it to reset the computer monitors.

Drive it home!

This car is going to the highest bidder!  No Reserve! No Buy It Now!

It could use 2 tires and a couple of hub caps.

New York residents are unable to bid or buy unless they are a registered car dealer, registering/re-titling the vehicle out of state or are using it for “Parts Only”.

When a car is sold as “Parts Only’ or “Salvage” it must pass a NY State “Salvage Inspection”. This is done to keep rebuilt wrecks that are unsafe off the road – especially vehicles with frame damage or airbag deployment. My cars are rarely rebuildable wrecks and therefore will easily pass this strict inspection process when the problem that is advertised is corrected. There are about 10 to 15 NY State salvage inspection sites in NY State – 2 or 3 are on Long Island and there are a couple in NY City. Call me for further clarification.

As a registered NY State dealer I am unable to sell a car that won’t pass inspection to a NY State resident. Anyone else can bid and buy. Sorry, I don’t make the rules but as a used car dealer I must abide by them.

Any questions call 516-228-1016 and leave a message if I’m not in. Please don’t wait until the last day or last few hours to contact me. Please speak clearly.

I will pick you up at the airport, train or bus station.

 

Winning bidder please leave a $300.00 non-refundable deposit in PayPal within 48 hours of the auction close. If I don't receive the deposit within the 48 hours I will re-list the car.

 

Please plan on picking this vehicle up within 15 days of the auction close unless you have made prior arrangements with me before bidding.

 

All vehicles that run and drive are driven at least 10 to 20 miles and usually 30 to 40 miles. I try to describe these vehicles to the best of my 35 years of experience. Our familiarity with these autos is limited to the miles we drive them. Please be aware of this when bidding.

 

As always, if the winning bidder is not happy after road test and examination, I will cancel the sale and refund $250.00 of your deposit.

 

Attention “Phantom/No-Show” bidders – I do not entertain any second place bids and always re-list the vehicle.

If your feedback is 1 or lower you must contact me prior to bidding. If you don’t contact me your bid will be cancelled and you will be blocked from further bidding.

 

Final sale price is what you pay! (New York residents must pay sales tax and inspection fee when applicable.) There are no extra hidden fees!!!

 

We will accept any and all trade-ins or will visit you to purchase any vehicle outright within a 50 mile radius of zip code 11554.

 

Good luck and thanks for looking!

2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport recalled over brake lamps

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Mitsubishi is recalling certain 2013 Outlander Sport models for a couple of brake-related reasons. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the brake lamps may illuminate continuously or intermittently. On top of that, the NHTSA report states that the vehicle's shift lever could be moved out of the Park position without depressing the brake pedal.
A total of 4,539 Outlander Sport models are being recalled for these issues. All of the affected vehicles were built between June 11 and September 11, 2012.
Obviously, both of these issues can be hazardous. If the brake lamps do not illuminate properly, other vehicles may not realize that the car is stopping. And if the shift lever can be moved from Park without touching the brake pedal, the vehicle could roll away unexpectedly.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution will live through 2015

Thu, 29 May 2014

If it were only so easy for humans. Mitsubishi has extended the life of the Lancer Evolution X by at least a year. An MMNA spokesperson tells AutoGuide that it is "committed to introducing the 2015 model year Lancer Evolution," noting that production for said models will begin in July. This gives us a year of clarity about the future of a model whose future blinks in and out of existence quicker than a boson particle.
As far as we can tell, the Evo as we know it is definitely going to die, the question is when. In March, Mitsubishi said it "does not have any plans to design a successor with the current concept, as a high-performance four-wheel drive gasoline-powered sedan." What is rumored to fill the hole left by the Evo might or might not be a linear descendent, but is expected to be some kind of hybridized high-performance model about which much has been speculated.
MMNA PR manager Alex Fedorak told Autoblog, "Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is committed to introducing the 2015 model year Lancer Evolution in the U.S. Production of North American-specification Lancer Evolution models for the 2015 model year will commence in July 2014." Our previous advice still stands, however, even with the extension: If you want one, get an Evo while you can.

2013 Mitsubishi Outlander GT

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

I'm not a gambling man, but if there were a pool for an automotive death watch, my money would be on Mitsubishi... Lincoln is a close second. To understand the plight of Mitsubishi, you only have to look at its current lineup; they all just look, feel and drive about 10 years older than they really are. With the departure of the Endeavor and merciful killing of the Eclipse (the Galant lives on, but is on hiatus for the 2013 model year), one of the worst remaining offenders is the Mitsubishi Outlander, which I recently drove in top-level GT trim for this Quick Spin.
If we had a time machine and took the 2013 Outlander GT back to 1998, it would be revolutionary. If we could take it back to 2004, it might be near the top of its class. But in the current highly competitive crossover segment of today, the Outlander just falls short. Yes, the all-new 2014 Outlander is on its way later this year, but from what we've seen both inside and out, the new design would look great in 2008. That being said, spending a week with any vehicle can point out surprising highs as well as lows, and there are still plenty of reasons to enjoy Mitsu's midsize CUV.
