We bought this car in Las Vegas in approximately 2006, my wife (41 years old) has used it as her daily driver since then, 99% of the time on pavement, 16 miles to and from work each day. The car is in basically pretty good shape. It has 145,xxx miles, and she still drives it every day. It has had regular oil changes using Mitsubishi filters and Castrol 10-40. It has a sunroof you can either crank open or completely remove. It has a nice sounding pioneer xm capable cd player, which goes thru two amps hidden in the back under the trunk floor, and has a custom built woofer box that is hard to see if you don't know its there, behind the back seat, with what looks like 10" size audiobahn speakers. I don't know what all the other speakers are because I didn't have it installed, it was in the car when we bought the car. It does ROCK. It stays crystal clear PAST the point that your ears start to hurt. It has 18" DeTata wheels, which were also on the car when we bought it. The car handles great and runs very well and is and has been very reliable. The turbos spool up good and give the car quite a bit of power. The all wheel drive and all wheel steer systems work well. The active aero works so far as I know, we never use it though. The engine is completely stock except for a popoff valve on the turbos which was also added by the previous owner. There is no rust anywhere. The exhaust may be performance, not sure, but it sounds really good. Seems like it is flowmaster but again, not sure. (Not loud though.) We got a carfax at the time of purchase, so I am sure the car will still check out good with carfax as it has been in no collisions or accidents. The tires are speed rated and getting worn. It is time for rotation, with approximately 10-20% tread left on the rear and 40% on the front.

Some of the bad now. The Las Vegas heat took a toll on the leather, it cracked all apart on the front seats. The interior carpet cleans up nicely but does have stains from being 20 years old, mostly under the floor mats, which are worn as well. It has a short 3-4" crack on the dash on the small shelf between the glove box and main dashboard which we keep covered with a dash carpet. The ground effects outside have popped loose at the top in one spot on each side, but it would be an easy fix and it isn't really noticeable or effect operability. (doesn't vibrate or make noise and a couple screws would fix it) The body has a few little dings, very small dimples where it has gotten bumped with golf clubs or something falling against it when sitting in a garage- all before we got the car. The sunroof crank handle broke off and it has been glued back but it functions fine. The leather shifter boot and shifter knob show some deterioration. The dash lights can be quirky, as is normal with these cars. The radiator light, for example, has been on since we bought the car with 78,000 miles on it. The car does not smoke, but we have to add a little oil every 3-4 tank fulls of fuel to keep it topped off. I am not sure where it is going as it does not leave any puddles to speak of underneath it when sitting. The same goes for the power steering fluid, but it only needs replenished every 4-5 months of normal driving. The Freon in the air conditioning leaked off and the AC does not work, but the compressor etc still is fine. We had it refilled once, but evidently the leak was not found so it has leaked off again.

All in all, she isn't a show car, but she is in really good shape for a car that is 21 years old. Last year she fell off the NADA and Kelley Blue Book car values guides, and dropped into the NADA/ KBB "Classic" car value guides, and is appreciating each year now. Currently the car's value is over 5000.00 in both the NADA and KBB Classics as an "average" condition vehicle..

I would prefer that you pick the car up, and I have no doubts that it would make it to anywhere in the US but that statement is not a guarantee, of course. Additionally- I require a 500.00 non-refundable deposit via paypal if you win this auction, paid within 24 hours.

We are only selling her because we are getting the wife a newer, bigger car and don't want to let her sit around and go bad. Thanks for looking!

The Mitsubishi GT-PHEV Concept offers an unsightly look into the automaker's future

Wed, Sep 14 2016

It was only a few months ago that Mitsubishi teased the Grand Tourer Concept with an image of the SUV's side profile. Now that it's just a few weeks before the Paris Motor Show, Mitsubishi released some renderings of the GT-PHEV Concept that will influence the rest of the automaker's lineup for the future. Mitsubishi is touting the concept as a "high-end next-generation SUV." Styling may indeed be subjective, but the GT-PHEV Concept has a face that only a mother could love. There's a bit of Lexus-like hate-it-or-like-it in the fascia, and the rest of it looks similar to that of the eX Concept that was revealed last year. Both concepts have grille openings that resemble the letter X, three hexagonal fog lights on the sides, and tiny slivers for headlights. The side profile of the GT-PHEV Concept reminds us of a Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, which isn't such a bad thing. The back of the concept features a rakish design with thin wrap-around taillights that also look good. If you can get past the SUV's looks, you'll find comfort the GT-PHEV's powertrain to be an interesting look into the future. The concept features Mitsubishi's next-gen plug-in hybrid system, which is comprised of three electric motors (one in the front and two at the back), a regular internal combustion engine, and a high-capacity battery. The systems work together as a full-time four-wheel-drive system. On electric-only power, the GT-PHEV Concept can travel an estimated 75 miles, while the car's total range is roughly 746 miles. Mitsubishi claims the GT-PHEV Concept is a ground tourer capable of chewing away the miles with ease. And while the automaker didn't include any images of the vehicle's interior, Mitsubishi claims the concept has a cockpit-like interior that wraps around the front passengers. The interior leather color can also be found on the roof of the vehicle for a "classy" look. Mitsubishi continues to focus on SUVs and crossovers, but we doubt the automaker will put a vehicle that looks like the GT-PHEV Concept on the road. We think this concept is more for show, but it will probably be used as inspiration for the design of the next Mitsubishi Outlander. Here's hoping that face gets toned down some.

No one wants to buy Mitsubishi's only US plant

Fri, Jan 8 2016

Mitsubishi Motors will very likely close its factory in Normal, IL, later this year after failing to find another company in the auto market to take over its only manufacturing site in the US. "We have given up looking for an automaker to buy the plant, but we are looking for possible buyers from other industries," a Mitsubishi spokesperson told Reuters. Mitsubishi announced plans to leave the site in 2015 to shift its business strategy toward Asia. The factory started as a joint venture with Chrysler in 1988 and was the only plant from a Japanese automaker in the US with a UAW-represented workforce. This was allegedly a sticking point when finding a buyer because other companies in the industry didn't want to take on the union employees' contract. The Normal factory ended assembly of the Outlander Sport in November 2015 and laid off 1,000 workers at that time. The site will continue to make car parts until May, and then Mitsubishi will let go of the remaining 250 employees. The costs of shutting down the factory could be as high as 30 billion yen ($255 million), but a company spokesperson wouldn't confirm that figure to Reuters. Mitsubishi's fortunes seem on the upswing in the US as of late. The company's deliveries jumped 22.8 percent in 2015 to a total of 95,342 vehicles, and the last fiscal year brought the automaker's first operating profit in this region in seven years.

Not a dry eye in the house for last Mitsubishi Evo X video

Fri, Oct 2 2015

Say what you will about the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution; we're going to miss this one when it's gone. Japan's rally car for the street is officially being phased out, and production is ending in Japan. But not before one Final Edition, and a final video showing the turbocharged, all-wheel-drive wonder being built. In Japan, the Final Edition is limited to a run of just 1,000 units. It's based on the GSR model with the five-speed manual transmission, but comes with performance goodies like Bilstein shocks, Eibach springs, Recaro seats, Brembo brakes, and more. See it for yourself in the gallery, below. Over the course of 23 years, there have been 10 generations of the Lancer Evolution. And while Evo X might not be our favorite (this author much prefers Evo IX, for what it's worth), it's still sad to see Mitsubishi's iconic, winged sedan head to the grave. A sign of the times, Mitsubishi says the Evo "will be replaced in spirit" by a high-power, hybrid SUV. That's a tall order, and doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense, but we'll see. For now, say goodbye to the Evo X by watching the final production video, above. And just be thankful Subaru still makes its lovely WRX STI.
