Up for sale is a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS with a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder motor and a 5 speed manual transmission. The motor DOES NOT RUN. It has been severely overheated and the waterpump is bad and the timing belt has been melted. There is part of the wiring harness on the motor that has been partially melted too.  I bought this car as a project and it needs more work than I want to put into it. All of the lights and turnsignals work ok. Power windows and doorlocks work good. Power sunroof works fine. All the electronics ( wipers, lights, power accessories and blower fan) all seem to work fine. It has almost new firestone firehawk tires on it. It has aftermarket headlights, taillights, and foglights on it that all work fine.(one of the taillights and one of the headlights have moisture in them, but they function properly)  The interior is in good condition other than the radio has been removed. I have never taken off the drivers seat cover, but the previous owner said it was in ok shape. The outside of the car is in descent condition for its age. There is a small dent in the front of the drivers door at the bottom. (see pic)  The front bumper has a small split in it on the drivers side. (see pic)   It has a few minor scuffs like most used cars do and the bottom of the nose has a few scrapes from going over bumps. There is a small rust bubble starting on back hatch just below the glass. It has a rusthole on each side by the strut towers underneath the hood. (see pic)  There is also some rust starting in the rear wheel wells just in front of each back tire.(see pics)  There is no battery in the car.  Its a descent looking car that needs work to get going again or would make a good parts vehicle for somebody else's car. It has a clear IA title. Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction if it sells outside the auction. It is located  in Danville, Iowa.  BUYER  IS  RESPONSIBLE  FOR  SHIPPING. Thank you and happy bidding.

Mitsubishi ASX is French for Outlander Sport

Fri, 28 Sep 2012

Mitsubishi has revealed the Euro-version of the same Outlander Sport model that debuted with updates earlier this year at the New York Auto Show. No, the French do not call it the Royale Sport (with cheese), but rather the ASX.
The crossover has received a range of aesthetic and engineering tweaks, including revised interior fabrics. Designers have also abandoned the old rotary knob switch for the vehicle's all-wheel-control system in favor of a pushbutton interface, though the largest change to the recipe comes in the form of a reworked multi-link rear suspension. Powertrain options remain unchanged, however, with a total of three engine mills on deck, including a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with 115 horsepower mated to a five-speed manual transmission in two-wheel drive configuration.
Those hunting up a little more traction can step up to a 1.8-liter diesel with 147 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque paired with a six-speed manual and the buyer's choice of either a two-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive system. A low-CO2 1.8 diesel is also available with 114 horsepower. You can check out the full press release below for more information.

Despite missteps, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV a hit in UK

Fri, Jun 20 2014

Like a stiff breeze off the White Cliffs of Dover, UK sales of the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid may have the wind at its back. That's because the Japanese automaker isn't charging any extra, relative to the diesel-powered Outlander. And UK's Duxford Auto Group says it's already feeling the positive effects. The auto dealership is conducting about a dozen test drives a day for potential (and curious) customers, Cambridge News says. More tellingly, Duxford Auto is rebooking another dozen or so test drives per weekend day because of pent-up interest. The company hasn't released UK sales figures, Mitsubishi spokesman Dan Irvin told AutoblogGreen, but Duxford Auto says sales will be stronger than expected, especially since the Outlander PHEV is exempt from UK congestion charges. Mitsubishi introduced the Outlander PHEV to the UK this spring. The bonus there was that, inclusive of a UK government grant, the car was priced at the equivalent of about $47,000, or about the same price as the base diesel-powered version. The model, which pairs a 2.0-liter gas engine with an electric motor, has an all-electric range of 32 miles. Mitsubishi ran into problems with the Outlander PHEV in spring 2013 after a battery melted at a Japan dealership, causing the company to halt production on the model. The company later discovered that some of the batteries were short-circuiting due to a flaw in the screening process. Once those issues were solved, Mitsubishi doubled its production rate last year to make up for lost time. Meanwhile, Automotive News reported last month that California regulators will delay sales of the model in that state to late next year or early 2016 because of battery issues. The state, easily the largest US plug-in vehicle market, wants Mitsubishi to include battery-degradation monitors for the car's lithium-ion batteries. Mitsubishi spokesman Alex Fedorak refuted the report that the Outlander PHEV may not be available in the US until 2016. "Launch plans for the US version of the Outlander PHEV remain unchanged with an expected debut of Fall 2015," Fedorak told AutoblogGreen.

Mitsubishi scores record global operating profits

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

In the minds of many auto enthusiasts, Mitsubishi has become an afterthought. It has transformed from a company known for its turbocharged, all-wheel-drive rally machines into an automaker with a very boring lineup. Maybe we are being unfair, though. While the company doesn't have much of a performance presence anymore, the Japanese brand is doing quite well financially.
According to Reuters, Mitsubishi Motors had an operating profit of 123.4 billion yen ($1.2 billion) worldwide for the fiscal year that ended in March. That's twice as much as last year and a new all-time record for the Japanese automaker. It's even paying dividends to investors for the first time in 16 years, and its expected profit of 135 billion yen ($1.3 billion) in the new fiscal year matches a goal it had set for itself to achieve two years from now.
The automaker currently focuses much of its efforts on Southeast Asia, which accounts for about a quarter of its sales. It will put even greater attention there in the coming years with more local production, according to Reuters.
