Thanks for looking at the listing for my 1993 Mitsubishi VR4. I was the second owner of this car and it's been in my possession since 1996. This was a fantastic car and up until the last few years gave me almost no problems. Unfortunately she is twenty years old and has spent most of the last twelve years outside. Additionally, she's been driven very little in the last year and a half which always causes some problems. She's complete and not in terrible shape but she does need work. I'm going to try to list everything in detail that she needs so it's going to seem like a laundry list of problems.

Mechanical issues:
The single biggest issue she has is that when running the engine won't hold a consistent idle. The engine starts well and runs just fine but after a few minutes it begins to surge. The idle will rev from 1000 rpm to 1500 rpm or so continuously. Occasionally she will hold idle but a bit too fast. The car can be driven as is but I wouldn't say she's fit for a long drive. Looking around on the internet the most likely culprit is one or several bad capacitors in the main computer. You could either replace the computer or if you're handy with a soldering iron, replace the bad capacitors.
The car's active suspension defaults to performance almost as soon as the car is started. After that the suspension light flashes. Again, if you read up on VR4s this is far from an uncommon problem. Normally it means a short in one of the shock towers.
The anti-lock brake light has been coming on since about 1998. I've had three different dealers and two mechanics look at it and no one could find the issue. I've tested it on a snowy road and the anti-lock seemed to work. Bad sensor perhaps? Ghost maybe?
The engine smokes a little. However, after switching to a slightly thicker oil the issue mostly cleared up. I know that's not a proper fix but it told me that the issue wasn't desperate but rather annoying.
The timing belt and spark plugs have been recently replaced.

Interior:
Twenty years of sun has done a number on the interior. As you can see from the photos the driver's side seat cover is totally destroyed. The power functions as well as the lumbar adjustment still work though.
The passenger side and rear seats are complete but in only fair condition. The back seats need some additional cleaning but really look pretty decent.
The headliner is probably fine but does need a cleaning. There are no rips or sags in it.
The carpet certainly needs to be cleaned but there are no major issues except for the black residue from the floormats. A good steam cleaning would probably take care of most of it.
The door panels are complete and I don't believe there are any rips or tears but the vinyl has lifted in the center of the arm areas. An upholstery shop might be able to fix that with replacing the whole thing. The power locks and windows work though the locks are a little sticky. Some lubricant may take care of it. The interior weatherstripping is not in great shape but is present.
All of the instruments work well and are clear and clean looking. The glass instrument faces are in decent shape and would probably only need a polish to get them in shape.
The radio is original in nice shape and works well.
The air conditioning works well but it isn't quite as cold as it once was. It still gets cold but a top off of refrigerant would probably get it back to the arctic blast it was when new.
The glove box is intact and looks fine but it does fit somewhat loosely.
The console lid is in nice shape with no rips.
The cigarette lighter is there but no longer works. The electrical lead seems to have come loose and I never got around to digging in the console for it.
All the seat belts are present and work well.
The interior lights all work.
The trunk area is in good shape except for the retractable sunshade. It's there and it retracts but it's badly sun damaged.
The dash is cracked in several places from the sun and the defroster vents are cracked and broken. That's pretty standard though.

Exterior.

The body is complete and in pretty nice shape but the paint is faded and has some chips. The passenger side rear quarter has several door dings. I tried to get a photo of them but they just wouldn't show up.
The paint on the spoiler and the mirror has faded. Some compounding would probably help the whole car but it really probably just needs a fresh coat of paint.
The mirrors are in good shape and the power functions work well.
The active Aero both front and rear work well. the rear does stick sometimes but that may be due to the car sitting so much.
The radio Antenna is broken. It is still connected to the radio but it does not retract.
The windshield wipers function well but the arms look awful. They could be stripped and repainted or just replaced outright.
Both door handles and key locks work well.

I've attached lots of pictures but if there is something specific you'd like to see just let me know and I'll try to get a picture of it.

Mitsubishi Concept GC-PHEV could hint at next-gen Montero [w/video]

Thu, 21 Nov 2013

In desperate need of some competitive new products, Mitsubishi showed up at the Tokyo Motor Show with three concept vehicles. The most important of them might just be this fullsize Concept GC-PHEV (Grand Cruiser). With its full-time four-wheel-drive system and roughly the right package size, we can only hope it hints at a future design for the Pajero/Montero.
Longer, taller and wider than the current Pajero (which is still offered in other markets), the Concept GC-PHEV is a big SUV with a fuel-efficient plug-in hybrid powertrain. A 335-horsepower, 3.0-liter supercharged V6 and an eight-speed automatic transmission are paired with a 94-hp electric motor and high-capacity battery to provide some serious brawn in a green wrapper. The result is targeted fuel consumption of 15 kilometers/liter on the Japanese cycle (around 35 miles per gallon) to go with an all-electric driving range of more than 25 miles.
Mitsubishi's styling team has arguably done a much better job with this Tokyo trio than we've seen from recent new products like the Outlander and Mirage, possibly suggesting a future design language for the automaker. In true concept car fashion, the design is Concept GC-PHEV is over the top, but it's not hard to imagine a vehicle of this size with similar cues gracing the Mitsubishi lineup at some point in the near future. Likewise, while the concept's interior only seats four, the sheer size of this vehicle could easily allow three rows of seats for a production model.

Japan minister launches counterattack after Ghosn blasts justice system

Thu, Jan 9 2020

TOKYO — Japan's justice minister launched a rare and forceful public takedown of auto executive-turned-fugitive Carlos Ghosn after he blasted the country's legal system as allowing him "zero chance" of a fair trial as he sought to justify his escape to Beirut. After his dramatic flight to Lebanon last month, Ghosn spoke in public for the first time on Wednesday, saying he had been treated "brutally" by Tokyo prosecutors. He said they questioned him for up to eight hours a day without a lawyer present and tried to extract a confession out of him. In an effort to undo Ghosn's attempt to sway public opinion in his favor, Justice Minister Masako Mori followed shortly with a statement, translated into English and French, and held a news conference after midnight and again around 9:30 a.m. on Thursday morning to defend Japan's justice system. "I decided to do this because defendant Ghosn was looking to justify his unlawful exit from Japan by propagating a false recognition of our justice system," she said at the second news conference. "I felt that we needed to respond immediately to broadcast a correct understanding to people around the world." Ghosn, the former chief of Nissan and Renault, fled Japan last month as he was awaiting trial on charges of under-reporting earnings, breach of trust, and misappropriation of company funds, all of which he denies. Mori said Ghosn's escape from his trial in itself "could constitute a crime" that would not be tolerated in any country. "My impression in listening to him was that there were few statements that were backed by any real evidence," she said. "If he wants to prove his innocence, he should face fair trial proceedings here," she added, stressing that the allegations against him concerned financial crimes in Japan. "That would be the mark of a first-class businessperson and good citizen." Mori blasted Ghosn for violating his bail by fleeing the country "without showing a passport and breaking international rules that everyone in the world follows." "It was a breach of faith that can't be explained to our children," she said. The spotlight on Japan's justice system comes as Mori is set to host in April the United Nations' Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, held once every five years.

Mitsubishi launches, prices 2018 Outlander PHEV for U.S.

Wed, Sep 27 2017

We've been waiting on this one a long time. Mitsubishi has been selling the plug-in hybrid version of its Outlander crossover for a while now, just not here in the U.S. It has seen popularity overseas, though, and is Europe's best-selling plug-in hybrid. It surpassed the 100,000 sales mark back in early 2016, thanks to Europe and Japan. Now, Mitsubishi is looking to electrify our shores, and will bring the all-new Outlander PHEV to the U.S. by the end of the year. The Outlander PHEV is powered by a 2.0-liter engine and two 60-kW electric motors, one situated at each axle, for a total estimated output of 195 horsepower. That makes it all-wheel-drive as well, using Mitsubishi's Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system borrowed from the Lancer Evolution, and it has already proven itself in off-road competition. A 300-volt, 12-kWh lithium-ion battery pack is located in the subfloor between the front and rear axles. It can be charged via plug (including DC fast-charging capability), or via the car's regenerative braking system (adjustable using paddle shifters). The vehicle features three different, automatically selected drive modes. EV Drive Mode makes use of the electric motors for all-electric driving. Parallel Hybrid Mode uses the gas engine to drive the front wheels, and provides added power from the electric motors as necessary (mainly at high speeds, where this mode is the most efficient). Series Hybrid Mode uses the gasoline engine as a generator to charge the battery and provide power to the electric motors, which are doing the propulsion work. There are also three driver-selected modes. Eco Mode reduces fuel and electricity consumption. Battery Save Mode conserves charge, operating in hybrid mode. Battery Charge Mode keeps the engine running to generate electricity and recharge the battery pack to make sure you'll have power for driving uphill or towing, for instance. EV driving range and fuel economy figures will be released soon, but Mitsubishi says it expects to exceed the premium competition (which offer about 14 miles of EV range). The Outlander PHEV is also big on technology. It offers a suite of safety systems, including blind spot and lane departure warnings, multi-view camera, adaptive cruise control, auto high beams, and forward collision mitigation. The vehicle offers a smartphone app that allows the owner to remotely control the charging schedule, climate control, lighting, vehicle settings, and monitor vehicle status.
