Up for auction is my 2004 Lancer Ralliart. I purchased this car new back in February of 2004, and have been the only primary driver of this car in the ten years that I have owned it. Around 2,000 miles, I changed all fluids to synthetic and that has remained the same for the life of this car. I have kept methodical maintenance on this car and possibly even a little excessive over the years. Oil has been changed every 3,500-4,000 miles with Royal Purple and Wix filters, Brake fluid has been fully changed with Motul RBF 600 every 20-25,000 miles, Radiator/cooling system flushed every 25,000 miles, Thermostat replaced with performance 160 degree unit (replacing the 190 degree OEM one), Transmission fluid changed with BG Synchro-shift II every 25-30,000 miles.  Transmission rebuilt by Honea Mitsubishi in Albertville, AL due to an input shaft bearing recall a few years ago. Clutch replaced with a Clutchmasters stage 1 clutch about 10,000 miles ago. New front and rear motor mounts, new oxygen sensors, outer tie rod ends done about 15,000 miles ago, timing belt done around 85-90,000, good brakes, 75-80 percent tread left on tires.. All speakers have been replaced with JBL component speakers (6 1/2's and tweeters), Upgraded speaker wire throughout car, Kenwood head unit with bluetooth, iPod/iPhone control, satellite radio ready, AUX input, etc. The 10inch subwoofer is mounted in the OEM enclosure for a clean look.  

Runs great, drives better, looks far better than a 10 year old daily driven car normally does. No leaks, no smoke, mechanically sound. I have never had a mechanical issue with the engine...Only things I have had to replace are the cooling fan controller and acceleration sensor. The car was rear-ended on Dec. 25, 2011. Rear bumper cover and right tail light were replaced along with minor pulling of the right rear corner.  

 Quick little mod list that will go with the car is as follows:

Custom Intake
HKS Circle Earth kit
Custom 2.5" catback exhaust 
Evo 8 RS gauge cluster
Custom Bride shift boot

Carbon shift knob
AMS underhood shifter bushings
AMS shifter base bushings
Clutchmasters Stage I clutch
Poly
sway bar bushings
Swift spec-R springs
KYB GR2's
Front strut tower brace (stock)
R1 drill / slot rotors
Ceramic pads
16x7 XXR 002's
Falken rubber (80percent tread)
Depo projectors
Evo IX vortex generator
Short antenna
Hella supertones
25% tint all around
Glowshift Oil psi, A/F, and boost/vacuum gauges
 Kenwood head unit
JBL F&R component speakers
Fosgate Prime R250-1 amp
Sony subwoofer
OEM enclosure
 

I think that's about it as for whats on the car now. Also, stock and aftermarket parts not on the car that I have will go with the car:


OEM cluster, Spare dash trim, OEM springs, OEM seats,
Powerflex roll-stop front mount, DDM Tuning HID kit, and a few other things...

The car does need a few things (expected with older cars) that I have not taken the time to diagnose or repair...sunroof seal (doesn't leak when closed, just ripped), headlights (pass.side spider cracked), driver door lock does not lock with button (no idea why..locks/unlocks with key fine),
Sunroof sometimes acts goofy (opens/closes fine..hangs up..then open/closes fine again), front lip needs to be replaced (looks fine, just broken clips),has few dings, chips, and scratches, Rear defrost does not work (guy that re-tinted window peeled parts of ceramic off the glass), the A/F gauge needs signal wire hooked back up (replaced o2 sensors and didn't re-connect), Oil psi gauge needs new sensor and signal wire (roughly 20 bucks from GlowShift)... not much else.

The mileage listed is not actual mileage. I replaced the OEM gauge cluster with a cluster from a 2003 Lancer Evolution that had more miles listed as my car actually had. I will gladly reinstall OEM cluster and calculate actual mileage on the car if you desire.

 I have too much in this car to let it go dirt cheap...and I feel that I am asking a reasonable price.  I will tell you anything you would like to know about the car..just ask. I will also do my best to provide any specific pictures you may want/need...again, just ask. I will be straight forward about everything on/in this car. I have no hesitations about driving this car anywhere...I recently drove it 12 hours to Cocoa, FL for vacation and would do it again tomorrow if needed.

I have taken great care of this car and have enjoyed every moment of driving it. I still love driving the car..and I do it often. I do not have to sell, as I have another Lancer as my primary vehicle..I am just seeing if anyone wants a reliable, fun car to drive.

 I do have this car listed locally for 6,000 obo...and I will end auction if sold locally. This is a reserve auction, and I will not remove or lower the reserve price unless I see fit.

If I get the full 6,000 dollar asking price, the car will be sold as it sits, with everything and extra parts I have. Any less than 6,000, the Bride seats WILL NOT GO (still have OEM seats and will install) as well as the Aeroforce scan gauge WILL NOT GO). No exceptions.

Chrysler de Mexico to sell rebadged Mitsubishi model in shades of Colt deal

Wed, 02 Jul 2014

Chrysler and Mitsubishi have had a close relationship since the early '70s. Back then, they partnered up to sell the Japanese brand's models under American names as captive imports in the US. Vehicles like the Dodge Colt, Eagle Summit, and eventually the 3000GT/Stealth twins and lots of other cars and trucks became the fruits of that alliance. In fact, the two companies still maintain a good rapport, as evidenced by reports of a new deal to sell the Mitsubishi Attrage, also known the Mirage G4, in Mexico starting in November.
The Attrage is a small, four-door sedan that borrows many of the mechanical bits from the Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback. According to Automotive News, the deal allows Chrysler to sell the model in Mexico for the next five years. The deal could be a win-win for both companies. Mitsubishi gets to use more capacity at its Laem Chabang, Thailand factory where the car is made, and Chrysler gets a new vehicle for a growing market with almost zero development costs. At this time, there's no indication of the new model's name in Mexico, though.
There's also still a chance the Attrage might make it to the US market as well. The automaker showed off the sedan as the Mirage G4 at the 2014 Montreal Motor Show ahead of promised sales in small-car-friendly Canada. The Mirage hatchback was introduced to the US in a similar way, debuting in Canada first and then crossing the border. While reviews for the Mirage have been pretty atrocious, it would still be interesting to see Mitsubishi further expanding its lineup in North America.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

2014 Mitsubishi Lancer to shrink

Wed, 24 Oct 2012

The aging, oft-forgotten Mitsubishi Lancer won't get a replacement until sometime in 2014, but a new report states that the next-generation model could be a relatively drastic departure from the car you see here. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation President Osamu Masuko told Australian site The Motor Report that the new Lancer will be smaller than the current car, going in a different direction than the vast majority of other automakers.
"The new Lancer will be a very new car, and will be sized somewhere between the current model and its predecessor," Masuko-san told The Motor Report.
There are both pros and cons to this decision. On the plus side, a smaller car means the Lancer will likely have a weight advantage over other vehicles in its class. That said, Mitsubishi will need to find ways to maximize interior space and create efficient packaging in order to still have its compact sedan remain competitive with strong offerings like the Hyundai Elantra, Chevrolet Cruze, Ford Focus and so on.
