 92 Stealth, clean title with only 9,000 miles on a new engine, 70,000 on car.  
I bought this 92 Stealth off of the estate of a family friend who was the original owner.  I have only driven this car all of about 20 miles since I bought it and it has been garage kept ever since.  When I first drove this car, I initially thought that it needed a tune up and fuel system cleaning so I started by changing the fuel filter and pump but then I realized that the transmission is stuck in 3rd gear.  Park and reverse do work but when driven, the car starts in 3rd and doesn't shift at all.  Upon further research I have found that the TCU (transmission computer) is stuck in "limp mode" which could mean a few possible scenerios, either a governer or shift module is stuck from sitting so long or it could be a vacuum problem or worst case scenerio, it may be the TCU itself.  Regardless, I know very little to nothing about Dodge or Misubishi vehicles, I have 2 69 firebird projects that are far more important to me than putting time or money into this car so I've decided to get rid of it.  Hopefully for someone who is familiar with these cars, it will be an easy fix and you can have a low mileage Stealth for very little money.  

This is the best handling car I have ever driven, suspension and steering seem to be super tight.  Once up  to speed on the highway, even though it doesn't shift, this car is still a great ride.  The car is capable of being driven as is and could be driven home but keep in mind, pulling out in 3rd gear is hard on the engine and at such low rpms the engine easily stalls.  The head lights flip up and down, there are no idiot lights on on the dash and everything on the car is in good working order as far as I can tell.  The interior is in great shape and the tires look as though they are brand new.  The driver's side front tire does lose some air over time.  Part of the exhaust system looks to be stainless steel and as far as I can tell, the car is solid except for a rust hole on the underside of the radiator support (see pic)  You will notice there is a dent on the hatch lid and one on the driver's side.  The nose has a lot of small paint chips.The only issue besides the transmission is the power windows, I could hear the motors turning when I push the button but the windows do not move (perhaps something is disconected?)

As stated, I purchased this car off of the original owner's family and was surprised that they were able to give me an entire envelope full of reciepts dating back to the year the car was purchased.  Adding up the reciepts, this guy spent well over $12,000 on maintenance.  I was shocked when I discovered a reciept for work totalling over $7000 (see pic) for a brand new engine which was replaced at 61,000 miles.  The odometer currently reads 70,000 meaning that this engine only has 9,000 miles on it.

How fracking is causing Chrysler minivans to sit on Detroit's riverfront

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

It's fascinating the way that one change to a complex system can have all sorts of unintended consequences. For instance, there are hundreds of new Chrysler Town and County and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans built in Windsor, Ontario, sitting in lots on the Detroit waterfront because of the energy boom in the Bakken oil field in the northern US and parts of Canada.
The huge amount of crude oil coming from these sites mostly use freight trains for transport, and that supply boom has resulted in a shortage of railcars to carry other goods. According to The Windsor Star, North American crude oil transport by train has gone from 9,500 carloads in 2008 to 434,032 carloads in 2013. Making matters worse, some North American rail infrastructure is still damaged because of this year's harsh winter, and that's slowing things down even further.
Chrysler admits to The Star that it has had some delivery delays due to the freight train shortage. In the meantime, it's using more trucks to deliver its vehicles. Trucking is a far less economical solution, partially because a train can carry so many more units at one time, but alternatives are slim. The Windsor plant alone has a deal for 33 trucks to distribute the minivans around Canada and the Midwestern US.

Small number of 2013 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger models recalled

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

A small number of units of the 2013 Chrysler 200 (inset) and 2013 Dodge Avenger are being recalled over a broken control valve in the fuel tank assembly. The potential 1,785 sedans were manufactured late last year, and if affected with a broken control valve could suffer from stalling or fuel leakage.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that the recall should begin next month, at which time owners can take their cars to dealers for repair free of charge. The full release with more information is just below.

Chrysler extends fuel tank warranties on LX cars, NHTSA ends probe

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ended its investigation of 153,817, 5.7-liter and 6.1-liter Hemi V8-powered 2006 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Magnum models after reports of stalling. Chrysler has responded by granting a lifetime warranty on the fuel tanks for these vehicles.
NHTSA received 299 reports of engines stalling while the models were stopped or driving at low speeds, and began an investigation. The government agency found that the control valve shutoff float in the V8s' 19-gallon fuel tank could malfunction if the fuel had too high of an ethanol content. In many cases, the valve would break in the open position, allowing the tank to be overfilled, which would then cause the cars to stall. However, there were no accidents reported, and the vehicles could be restarted immediately.
There will not be a recall on these vehicles because, "the condition represents a low risk to motor vehicle safety and is adequately addressed by Chrysler's extended warranty," NHTSA said to The Detroit News.
