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 announces new and updated models are around the corner

Wed, Jul 22 2020

Mitsubishi has remained relatively quiet in 2020. It was hit hard by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, like all of its peers and rivals, and it's caught in the middle of the cold war between opposing sister companies Renault and Nissan. It announced plans to emerge from its silence by introducing an array of new or updated models in America. The Japanese company explained its goal is to pack more value and technology into its cars. It will launch its American product offensive in late 2020 by introducing an updated Outlander PHEV. Although full details aren't available, Mitsubishi hinted the crossover will receive a new hybrid powertrain built around a bigger, more powerful gasoline-burning engine that works jointly with better electrified technology. It will be capable of driving on electricity alone for longer distances, and at higher speeds. Other revisions are planned, too. Next up is the Mirage, the firm's entry-level model and one of the smallest cars in a market that has decided bigger is better. Mitsubishi confirmed the American-spec model (pictured) will receive the same visual updates as the variant sold overseas, so it will receive a sharper-looking front end that falls in line with the rest of the range. Shortly after, Mitsubishi will continue its push by giving the Eclipse Cross comprehensive visual updates. The crossover's front end will borrow styling cues from the company's next design language, and earlier spy shots suggest stylists have smoothed out the Pontiac Aztek-like rear end. Inside, the Eclipse Cross will receive a new infotainment system, though we'll need to wait to learn about the features it will incorporate. Mitsubishi Outlander prototype View 16 Photos Finally, the next-generation Outlander (shown above in spy shots) will break cover with a new-look design that Mitsubishi characterizes as "bold, aggressive, and distinctive." Although we haven't seen the crossover without camouflage yet, peeking through the wrap suggests the model draws inspiration from the Engelberg Tourer concept introduced at the 2019 edition of the Geneva auto show. Unverified rumors claim it will switch to a Nissan-sourced architecture in the name of economies of scale, and some variants might be available with an engine plucked out of the Nissan parts bin. What's certain, at least according to Mitsubishi, is that the next Outlander will be the quietest and best-equipped car it has ever sold in the United States.

Mitsubishi reveals mid-term plans including redesigned pickup, SUV and new PHEVs

Tue, 12 Nov 2013

Struggling automaker Mitsubishi seems adamant that it will soldier on across the globe. Just last week, we told you how the brand would begin selling a pair of rebadged, Korean-built, Renault-Samsung sedans in the US market, and now comes an official statement from Mitsubishi about a mid-term business plan called "New Stage 2016."
As part of the plan, a number of products not sold in the US, like the Triton pickup, Pajero Sport SUV and Delica D:5 will be new or significantly updated, while we'll be seeing a second-generation Outlander Sport within the next few years. Some of these new or updated models may be previewed at the Tokyo Motor Show later this month. There will also be an increased focus on the brand's plug-in hybrid technology.
In fact, that technology will play a big role in Mitsubishi's revitalization, as it rolls out its own competitor to Honda's Earth Dreams and Mazda's Skyactiv technology, called @earth Technology (yes, seriously). It's unclear if @earth Technology will develop into an overarching philosophy like Mazda has done with Skyactiv, but with Mitsubishi pushing so hard with hybrids and EVs - part of its deal for those Renault-Samsung sedans was that it would develop EV tech with Nissan-Renault - if we did see an @earth Technology badge on a car, we'd wager that it'd be powered, to some degree, by electricity.
