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 previews 2014 Outlander and 2013 Outlander Sport Limited Edition

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

We've seen the new Mitsubishi Outlander in European form a few times already, but the 'ute has yet to make its roaring debut in the States. That's soon to be rectified, as Mitsubishi has formally announced plans to show the US-sped 2014 Outlander at the upcoming LA Auto Show.
Mitsubishi promises that the 2014 Outlander will be "among the most fuel-efficient compact [crossovers] with seven-passenger seating as standard." In addition to its new aerodynamic bodywork, the 2014 Outlander will bring with it advanced tech like Forward Collision Mitigation, Lane Departure Warning and Adaptive Cruise Control, each with its own fancy sounding acronym.

Also on display will be a new Limited Edition of the 2013 Outlander Sport. Said to commemorate the brand's 30 years in America, the LE will boast blacked-out side mirrors, center bumper (whatever that means...), wheel arches and roof rails. Other tweaks include dark-chrome alloy wheels and the necessary badging. Interestinglu, Mitsubishi says it has fitted a new balance shaft to make the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine a smoother operator.

Mitsubishi turning Montero into crossover, Outlander Sport may get PHEV variant

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

Mitsubishi is getting more and more forthcoming about its plans for the US market. Among the tidbits revealed during a chat with Edmunds at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, MMNA Executive Vice President Don Swearingen said that "We are committed to huge investments in capital as well as huge investments in R&D." The marquee product of that investment could be a new Montero for the 2017 or 2018 model year, suggestions of which were raised with the Concept GC-PHEV at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show and again at the end of last year. Swearingen said the proposed SUV is a little smaller than a Ford Explorer and that dealers have seen a picture of it. A decision on whether to bring it to the US will be made later this year.
Below that, incremental improvements will come to every model over the next couple of years. The Outlander will get a facelift next year before a major restyle in 2016, when the Outlander PHEV is also expected to finally make it here. In 2015 the Outlander Sport will be fitted with larger engine and a new, quieter CVT returning better acceleration and fuel economy. In 2016 it will also be redesigned, and it will be equipped with the company's new telematics system that goes into the Outlander the following year.
At the other end of the line-up, the Mirage will get a big dose of love in two years. Detail changes like better fabric inside and outside-mirror indicators are slated for 2015, and in 2016 the bargain hatchback gets "a sleek, aerodynamic" reskin. The Mirage G4 sedan could join the US range if the Canadians turn out to be fans of it. The Lancer gets only meager attentions, while the i-MiEV gets the cold shoulder and won't change at all. We get the cold shoulder as far as a next-generation Evo - Swearingen didn't say a word about that, apparently.
