1998 Mitsubishi 3000 GT Black w/Tan Leather Interior

Baby on the way! Must sell! Low Reserve!

Beautiful car! I purchased this car in March/April 2013 after searching for months for an outstanding well cared for 3000 GT. I am extremely picky with my cars. The car had approximately 50,000 original miles when purchased, the odometer currently reads 57,181. Running Mobil 1 fully synthetic motor oil with Mobil 1 oil filter. I have all repair and maintenance receipts, just ask and I will scan and email them.  The car looks awesome, please see all pictures. No leaks, cold A/C. Current Virginia safety and emissions inspection. After market Kenwood stereo with hands free blue tooth, single CD and MP3. Custom tinted windows by LA Tint. Mitsubishi valve stem caps. Car is nearly 100% stock, excluding the cold air intake, stereo and white front side marker lights (replaced the stock amber lights). Only interior wear is on driver’s seat as you slide in and out of the car. Car runs straight as an arrow down the road. The one reported accident was when I was stopped at a stop light and I was tapped in the rear and my drivers side bumper cover and plastic side skirt were damaged. This was a low impact. Both the bumper and rocker panel side skirt were replaced with factory OEM parts at a USAA recommended body shop. Receipt and details available upon request.

2 Sets of Keys with Remote, Owners Manual, spare tire and jacking equipment

NEW:

Brand new tires and alignment (all tires are matching); Brand new tune up, plugs, wires, distributer cab and rotor; Brand new alternator; Brand new O2 sensors(all); Brand new ignition coil; Brand new catalytic convertor; Brand new alternator belt and power steering serpentine belt; new battery

What it needs:

Please see detailed page attached. The Mitsubishi dealer checked the car from top to bottom and all ignition, fuel system, other system components came back 100% without issue; however the dealer suspects the car needs a new distributor. The car also needs rear brakes, may need calipers and rotors. Please also note the timing belt per the manufacturer is due at 60,000 miles.

This car has been well cared for and can be amazing. Turns heads and looks great going down the road. The car starts and runs, however I would recommend having it towed.

Title in Hand.

If you have questions, please ask before bidding. I will do my best to respond promptly. Thank you.

The reason I would consider having the car towed is because the dealer believes the car needs a distributor(please see detailed picture with dealers findings). The car starts immediately when cold and runs smooth and normal at that time, however when the car is warm it begins to hesitate and may stall.

My car is listed locally as well. Should it sell my auction could end early at my option. Bid soon!

Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures

Tue, Jun 23 2020

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski  Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.

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.

Mitsubishi recalls 82,426 vehicles for CVT hesitation issues

Mon, Aug 22 2016

The Basics: Mitsubishi is recalling 82,436 vehicles from the 2015 and 2016 model year. The recall affects the continuously variable transmissions, or CVTs, in 2015-16 Outlander Sports, 2016 Outlanders, and 2016 Lancers. Mitsubishi calls their Jatco manufactured CVT a constant velocity transmission. The Problem: According to the document Mitsubishi submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the CVTs in certain vehicles can momentarily lose signal and delay acceleration. This can increase the risk of an accident. Injuries/Deaths: It is unknown if there are any injuries or deaths related to this issue. The Fix: Dealerships will reprogram affected CVTs for free. If you own one: Mitsubishi Motors North America began the recall on August 15. If you own an affected vehicle, contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-16-006. Mitsubishi dealers should be able to update the CVT's software and resolve the issue.
