1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 Twin Turbo All Wheel Drive

98,485 Original miles, 5 speed transmission, 4 heel Steering, Electronic Controlled Suspension

Pearl White exterior with black leather interior

I am selling my VR-4 due to relocating for work and will not have the space to keep the car anymore. It is a beautiful vehicle that turns heads every where I would take it. I have owned the car for 7 years and have only put about 12k miles on it since I have owned it. It is a rare car in rare condition.  It runs and drives great with the electronic suspension and 4 wheel steering. It has a lot  of power and really sticks to the ground.  I have done a lot of work to the car to maintain it, but it does not have a lot of aftermarket parts and has not been raced or abused. It has a rare color combination of pearl white with black leather interior. It is in great shape for a 22 year old car. This is a non-smoker vehicle and I purchased the car from the second owner. I have babied the car since I have owned it because their are not many left in this condition or any condition for that matter. It has normal wear and tear for a 22 year old car and I will try to highlight every known defect of the vehicle that I can think of. The paint is in great shape but it does have a few scrapes and dings from over the years that I will try to detail below. This car has always been taken care of and I have spent a lot of time and money on this car. It has all the features that the VR-4 had in 1992, including power seats, steering wheel controls, etc.The car is being sold as is where is, no test rides, I have taken the insurance and tags off of the vehicle with anticipation of selling and moving. I live in a private area that I can show you the car runs great and drives fine. However, I will not permit anyone to take the car onto the main roads because it does not have insurance on it and I will not risk the vehicle. If you have any questions feel free to ask and the car is for sale locally as well.

Japan may aid carmakers facing U.S. tariff threat

Wed, Sep 12 2018

TOKYO — Japan is considering giving carmakers fiscal support including tax breaks to offset the impact from trade frictions with the United States and a sales-tax hike planned for next year, government sources told Reuters on Wednesday. Going into a second round of trade talks with the United States on Sept. 21, Japan is hoping to avert steep tariffs on its car exports and fend off U.S. demands for a bilateral free trade agreement that could put it under pressure to open politically sensitive markets, like agriculture. "If the trade talks pile pressure on Japan's car exports, we would need to consider measures to support the auto industry," a ruling party official said on condition of anonymity because of sensitivity of the matter. The auto industry accounts for about 20 percent of Japan's overall output and around 60-70 percent of the country's trade surplus with the United States, making it vulnerable to U.S. action against Japanese exports. Japan's biggest automakers and components suppliers fear they could take a significant hit if Washington follows through on proposals to hike tariffs on autos and auto parts to 25 percent. Policymakers also worry that an increase in the sales tax from 8 percent to 10 percent planned for October 2019, could cause a slump in sales of big-ticket items such as cars and home. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has twice postponed the tax hike after the last increase from 5 percent in 2014 dealt a blow to private consumption, which accounts for about 60 percent of the economy. To prevent a pullback in demand after the tax hike, the government may consider large fiscal spending later when it draws up its budget for next year, government sources said. "One option may be to greatly reduce or abolish the automobile purchase tax," one of the government sources said. The government is also considering cuts in the automobile tax and automobile weight tax to help car buyers, the source added.

Mitsubishi to showcase eX crossover concept in Tokyo

Fri, Oct 9 2015

The Tokyo Motor Show is coming up at the end of the month, and Mitsubishi isn't about to sit it out. That's where the Diamond Star automaker will unveil the eX Concept pictured here. The electric crossover concept packs what the company terms as a "next-generation EV system" into what looks at first blush like a rather dramatic design. Mitsubishi is telling us next to nothing about the eX and its specifications. However, it indicates that the concept incorporates an all-electric powertrain, all-wheel drive, an automated driving system, vehicle connectivity, and active safety systems. The automaker has also only revealed the one rendering above, but it bears all the hallmarks of a modern Mitsubishi concept like the ones we've seen in recent years. That includes the company's signature Diamond Shield front grille, flanked by narrow, angular headlights and oversized running lamps. Naturally, this concept rides on oversized wheels and boasts spindly little mirrors, all in an effort to tell us this is a bonafide show car and not a pre-production prototype. We'll look forward to seeing more in the near future, but in the meantime you can delve into what little Mitsubishi is telling us at this point in the press release below.

2014 Mitsubishi Mirage arrives in US this fall

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

Mitsubishi dealers have been painfully starved of fresh product for ages now, with their most recent new model, the bubble-shaped i electric car, already requiring a serious sales jumpstart. We've known for a while that help is on the way in the form of an all-new Outlander crossover, but we've basically only had loose confirmations to go on that the Japanese automaker would eventually reintroduce its Mirage subcompact to the American market. Today, those rumors have turned to reality, as Mitsubishi has confirmed that the five-door economy car will hit US dealerships this fall.
Every subcompact player needs a trump suit, from Ford's tech-rich Fiesta to Honda's impossibly space-efficient Fit, and the Mirage's calling card figures to be its fuel economy. Mitsubishi says it expects its 2014 Mirage to achieve 37 miles per gallon in the city and 44 on the highway (combined rating of 40 mpg) when equipped with a continuously variable transmission. Those figures are good enough, Mitsu says, to earn it the title of the most fuel-efficient gasoline vehicle sold in America that isn't a hybrid.
Of course, Mitsubishi isn't outlining any additional specs at the moment - not even engine configuration. We're expecting the company's 1.2-liter three-cylinder, which in European spec delivers a modest 79 horsepower and 78 pound-feet of torque. The Continent's Mirage weighs under 1,900 pounds, but the normally aspirated triple still makes for leisurely acceleration of 11.7 seconds to 62 miles per hour. It will be interesting to see if Mitsubishi makes some powertrain alterations to better suit American expectations.
