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 Outlander PHEV selling well in Netherlands

Wed, Jan 22 2014

Talk about a Dutch treat. Mitsubishi says sales of its Outlander Plug-in Hybrid are brisk in Europe, helped in a big way by plug-in vehicle tax incentives in the Netherlands that are getting more people there to buy the world's first production plug-in hybrid CUV. The Japanese automaker has taken more than 12,000 orders for the model from Europeans and had delivered about 8,200 of them as of the end of last year, all but 200 of which were to the Netherlands. Mitsubishi will start broader sales throughout the continent this year and is also expected to start sales in the US by next year. The company is looking for plug-ins to account for 20 percent of its global sales by the end of the decade. Mitsubishi, which also sells the model in Norway, Sweden and Switzerland, hopes to reach an annual production rate of 50,000 Outlander PHEVs by the end of the year. Last August, the company resumed full-scale battery production after shutting things down for a few months for a safety probe stemming from a short-circuiting issue. The Outlander PHEV can run for 32 miles on electric power alone and gets a European-rated 124 miles per gallon. Check out Mitsubishi's press release on its Euro sales below. MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV CY13 SALES – EUROPEAN INAUGURATION With a plan for EVs and EV-derived PHEVs to represent 20% of its global sales by 2020, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation has set itself an ambitious, yet realistic target. More so in Europe, Mitsubishi Motors' largest market for these technologies. 12,000+ orders / 8,000+ deliveries In this respect, the successful sales launch of Outlander PHEV in Europe Â– MMC's first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle and forerunner of a wider PHEV range Â– tends to vindicate the Corporation's objectives. First launched in selected markets (The Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland) from October 2013,Outlander PHEV has collected over 12,000 orders in Europe and these have already translated into 8,197 deliveries to end-customers by the end of December, of which 8,009 units for The Netherlands, the latter boosted by a tax scheme favourable to eco-friendly technologies such as low-emission vehicles. With more cars currently on their way to Europe, Mitsubishi Motor Sales Netherlands will soon be able to deliver the 11,000+ orders currently in its books and growing.

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. Â— Consumer Editor Jeremy KorzeniewskiÂ 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.
