I've decided it's time to sell my Eclipse for something different. Has only 146,xxx miles, no rust, starts immediately every time. Features sun roof, nice leather interior with no rips or cracking, power everything, hot heat and cold A/C, 3.0L V6 is good on gas, automatic transmission with slap-shift, 18" TSW rims in hyper silver with keyed lug nuts, 5mm spacers in the rear, two-tone gloss and flat black paint, spray-tinted Euro tail lights. Less than a thousand miles on the oil change. Has a Kenwood CD receiver that is MP3/USB/I-Pod compatible. Also comes with the stock 17" rims and lug nuts, though the rims are in rough condition and need tires; throw some snow tires on them and you're set for winter while keeping the 18's from the salt.
New in the last 3,000 miles:
Tires
Timing belt/tensioners/pulleys
A/C and Power Steering Belts
Water Pump
Radiator
Fail-Safe Thermostat
Front Lower Control Arms/Ball Joints
Tie Rods
Front Wheel Bearings
Could still use new front shocks, I just never got around to it. I replaced the rear hatch, so submodel badge on hatch states RS from the donor car, and I installed the spoiler to the new hatch. The bumper and hood are beat up from the previous owner (I zip-tie stitched cracks in the bumper) but both could easily be found at a junk yard or online on the cheap. A few other unnoticeable dings throughout, some scratches. Windshield is cracked, though not in the driver's line of vision. I was quoted $150 out the door by Safelite to have a new one installed, again I just never got around to it. Also recently developed an exhaust leak but is not too loud. With some TLC this could easily be a very nice car again.

2014 Mitsubishi Lancer to shrink
Wed, 24 Oct 2012The aging, oft-forgotten Mitsubishi Lancer won't get a replacement until sometime in 2014, but a new report states that the next-generation model could be a relatively drastic departure from the car you see here. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation President Osamu Masuko told Australian site The Motor Report that the new Lancer will be smaller than the current car, going in a different direction than the vast majority of other automakers.
"The new Lancer will be a very new car, and will be sized somewhere between the current model and its predecessor," Masuko-san told The Motor Report.
There are both pros and cons to this decision. On the plus side, a smaller car means the Lancer will likely have a weight advantage over other vehicles in its class. That said, Mitsubishi will need to find ways to maximize interior space and create efficient packaging in order to still have its compact sedan remain competitive with strong offerings like the Hyundai Elantra, Chevrolet Cruze, Ford Focus and so on.
Mitsubishi planning three all-new concepts for Tokyo show
Tue, 08 Oct 2013Even with new models like the 2014 Outlander and Mirage in its stable, Mitsubishi could sure use a little excitement injected into its lineup. Fortunately, it looks like a trio of concepts headed to the Tokyo Motor Show could finally help spark some enthusiasm for the troubled automaker.
All we have to go on right now is a pair of teaser images for the three concepts, but it does reveal a possible new design language for Mitsubishi. The Concept GC-PHEV (shown above) is a fullsize, plug-in utility vehicle, and it could very well be a harbinger of the Montero/Pajero replacement that we heard about earlier this year. Mitsubishi will also unveil a compact plug-in crossover called the Concept XR-PHEV designed to look like a "sport coupe" as well as the Concept AR compact MPV, which will utilize a small-displacement, turbocharged engine.
There is still no word on the next-gen Lancer, Galant or subcompact sedan mentioned in recent reports, but the announcement below does show promise for Mitsubishi's lineup of plug-in cars.
Mitsubishi recalling 2013 Outlander Sport for suspension issue
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Just 305 units of the 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport are the subject of a recall over a potential suspension issue. Crossovers made from January 17-25 of this year might suffer from a bad weld on the front left strut's stabilizer link. If it fails, damage to the brake hose or tire could result, in turn making steering or braking control of the compact CUV more difficult.
When the recall begins, owners can take their Outlander Sports to Mitsubishi dealers for inspection and replacement of the strut assembly if necessary. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin below has more information.
