Up for sale is my 1995 Mitsubishi Spyder VR4 with 56,500 miles. Wife and I took it out this weekend to West Palm Beach FL and back, car is running awesome!
Vehicle History
I purchased vehicle 2 years ago and drove 2,300 miles on an awsome trip down I10 from Arizona to Florida. The auto was owned by a gentleman in his 60's, and I am in my 50's. It appears the vehicle has spent most of its life in the low humidity of Arizona. Currently it is in a dehumidified garage in Florida. Of the 56,500 miles, I have put on 14,000 in the last two years. The car has no damage history. The unique aspect of this vehicle is it's low milage coupled with being a daily driver over the past two years. Recently I have found and purchased a 1997 VR4 with 28,500 miles locally. Being the 1997 VR4 makes 3 3000gt's at the house, thought it might be a good idea to skinny down to two. I don't smoke, and the prior owner Ron did not smoke. The vehicle while in my possesiton has never been smoked in, the plastic ashtray does not have any burn marks or ashes the vehicle interior appearnce and fragrance is consistant with a vehicle which has never been smoked in.
Vehicle Condition
Exterior The pictures taken we on 2/25/2013 and tell the story. Most of the paint is original paint and although in near pristine condition, a close inspection will reveal scratches and some minor imperfections. I had the trunk lid and convertible top repainted as the clear coat was showing its age. The brand new paint and old look identical.
Intererior This is the origianl interior. The seats have some marks, as you can see in the picture, less than I would expect with a car of this age/miles. Suprisingly the leading edge of the drivers seat (as you enter from the door) do not have the typical wear marks.
Mechanical "Bone Stock" All maintenance is up to and ahead of date. A full 60,000 mile maintenance is complete, including but not limited to timing belt, water pump, transmission inspection and flush, transfer case inspection, differential inspection, fuel filter, ICV, Fuel regulator - all the little stuff which will begin to cause issues. New tires at 48,500 miles and the VR4 rims were cleaned and resealed so the tires will hold their air The tires appear to have 75% of its tread left. Every button switch light system works on this car (well except one button) The radio has two volume buttons one on the steering wheel and one twist on/off button on the face of the radio. The on off part works, but the twist part does change the volume, just never sure to what. The steering wheel buttons work fine. In 1995 and 1996 the radio has an AUX input which will accept Ipods/phone outputs. Turbos sing like they should, and are original just like the rest of the car. The trick to keeping your turbos happy and healthy is to allow the engine to cool (idle) before shut down. The top works perfect. Both hydrolic pumps which power the trunk and retractible hard top have had a complete flush and fresh hydrolic oil in July of 2012. The only modification that has been done to this vehicle is the stock air cleaner has been replaced with a K&N air cleaner - Original air cleaner comes with car.
This car will not be what you expect. I have beent he driver of this car for two years and have fixed and corrected any all issues to give to you a dream to drive.
Pro's & Con's
Pro
The vehicle had an extremly limited production run in 1995/1996 consequntly few are available. Take into account this vehicle is original with low miles makes it a collectors car. The Spyders (turbos and NA too) have been showing some appreciation in value on the market over the past few years.
This car gets phographed every 2000 miles or so (that I am aware of). This is the only 3000GT (of the 4 I have owned) which gets photographed. It is a conversation piece wherever you go. You will be asked questions about it!
Currently in service as a daily driver, ready to go cross county. Would it be nice to get your new toy and fly in to Florida and go on a cross country drive to take her home? She is ready fo the mission.
Low miles, Original, Mechanicaly up to date, No damage history, Never modded (except K&N air filter) - Original comes with the car for turning back to 100% stock.
Stored in low humidity Arizona and a dehumidified garage, extremly rust free undercarrige. - Don't underestimate the power of low humidity and its effect on corrosion as the vehicle ages. This vehicle extremely is well perserved.
ESC feature - Tour and Sport Suspension option - on some 95's and not on others, this one has it.
Florida title is in my hand
NO RESERVE this is a live auction!
Con's
Original paint and interior, has signs of ware far less to be expected with a vehicle of this age and miles.

Maserati orders explode, 22,500 through September
Wed, 16 Oct 2013Last year when Maserati revealed a plan to sell 50,000 units globally by 2015, it seemed like a pretty steep goal for an automaker that had sold just 6,300 units for the entire year. It turns out that goal may be a little on the conservative side. Through September, Automotive News Europe says the Italian automaker has already racked up 22,500 orders mainly on the backs of the redesigned Quattroporte and the all-new Ghibli, and there are still more new products in the pipeline.
Back in August, we heard that demand in China was playing a strong role in Maserati's big numbers in 2013, and this doesn't even include the upcoming Levante SUV, which Maserati CEO Harald Wester expects to add as many as 25,000 units to the mix when it goes on sale in 2015. According to the ANE report, the Quattroporte is still the most popular model with almost 10,000 orders so far this year, while the smaller and more affordable Ghibli is performing quite well with almost 8,000 orders; the aging, but soon-to-be-replaced, GranTurismo models have about 5,000 orders.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years
Tue, 06 May 2014Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.
