Awd Turbo, Unmolested Adult Female Owned on 2040-cars
Matawan, New Jersey, United States
this is a 1997 mitsubishi GSX AWD Turbo that I bought for my wife who has used it for the past 4-5 years. it is basically all original and has never been hot rodded or molested. even the radio is original, no gauges have been hacked in and nothing has been cut and hacked up, I did however upgrade the wheels to newer eclipse wheels with new tires and the original 97 GSX wheels are also included with this auction. overall the car is in very decent condition, it is not perfect nor is it a brand new car, but as far as 16 year old cars go, it is in very good shape. it has had some misc paintwork through the years and the body and paint is in very decent shape but there are a few minor issues. the right side fender has a small rust spot where it meets the bumper, the 2 fog light bezels are missing and there are some cracks in the paint on the left side lower rocker/body molding. there is also a very small dent on the passengers fender which doesn't show up in pictures but everything else is shown in the pics. there is some minor rust starting to develop on the inner trunk lid seem and the lower door seems. I have treated these areas with a little POR-15 to stop the rust from spreading, it is not rotted or rusted through anywhere, just some minor surface stuff that would be a easy clean up fix, overall the car looks run and drives great.
the car does have 120k and although it runs great and is very strong and solid it does have a slight oil leak near the oil filter and it could use a valve adjustment as the valvetrain does tick a little louder than it did when I first got it, but nothing so bad really, just want to point out whatever negative things I can think of. the only other mechanical issue is that the car has had the transmission replaced a few years ago, and at the time we had a good low mileage JDM tranny installed. the difference between the JDM tranny and the USDM tranny is the JDM tranny does not use a lock up converter where the us model does, so the check engine light does come on giving a code for the lock up solenoid, because the JDM tranny does not have a lock up solenoid. it works great and there are no problems other than the check engine light. I have been told this problem can be solved but have never needed to, the check engine light winds up not being a problem for passing inspection on this car though because these eclipses are known for problems with the ecu not properly setting the readiness monitors anyway, so this car can pass inspection by just resetting the CE light then going for inspection, have passed inspection every year for me no problem. the JDM tranny is also said to be stronger than the US model.
the car looks runs and drives great, original unmolested examples of these GSX's are getting harder and harder to find. this car is not perfect but it is a very solid good looking car that still has a lot of life left in her. good luck on the bidding. I will not arrange shipping for you, but I will help in any way I can to co-operate and coordinate with a shipper of your choice. I will require a $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction end and the car will NOT be released until all funds have cleared, no exceptions. |

Mitsubishi previews 2014 Outlander and 2013 Outlander Sport Limited Edition
Thu, 15 Nov 2012We've seen the new Mitsubishi Outlander in European form a few times already, but the 'ute has yet to make its roaring debut in the States. That's soon to be rectified, as Mitsubishi has formally announced plans to show the US-sped 2014 Outlander at the upcoming LA Auto Show.
Mitsubishi promises that the 2014 Outlander will be "among the most fuel-efficient compact [crossovers] with seven-passenger seating as standard." In addition to its new aerodynamic bodywork, the 2014 Outlander will bring with it advanced tech like Forward Collision Mitigation, Lane Departure Warning and Adaptive Cruise Control, each with its own fancy sounding acronym.
Also on display will be a new Limited Edition of the 2013 Outlander Sport. Said to commemorate the brand's 30 years in America, the LE will boast blacked-out side mirrors, center bumper (whatever that means...), wheel arches and roof rails. Other tweaks include dark-chrome alloy wheels and the necessary badging. Interestinglu, Mitsubishi says it has fitted a new balance shaft to make the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine a smoother operator.
Nissan didn't have much say in merger talks, but it had what FCA wanted
Fri, Jun 7 2019TOKYO — Nissan wasn't consulted on the proposed merger between its alliance partner Renault and Fiat Chrysler, but the Japanese automaker's reluctance to go along may have helped bring about the surprise collapse of the talks. While Nissan Motor Co. had a weaker bargaining position from the start, with its financial performance crumbling after the arrest last year of its star executive Carlos Ghosn, it still had as its crown jewel the technology of electric vehicles and hybrids that Fiat Chrysler wanted. The board of Renault, meeting Thursday, didn't get as far as voting on the proposal, announced last week, which would have created the world's third biggest automaker, trailing only Volkswagen AG of Germany and Japan's Toyota Motor Corp. When the French government, Renault's top shareholder with a 15% stake, asked for more time to convince Nissan, Fiat Chrysler Chairman John Elkann abruptly withdrew the offer. Although analysts say reviving the talks isn't out of the question, they say trust among the players appears to have been broken. "The other companies made the mistake of underestimating Nissan's determination to say, 'No,' " said Katsuya Takeuchi, senior analyst at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities in Tokyo. The Note, an electric car with a small gas engine to charge its battery, was Japan's No. 1 selling car, the first time in 50 years that a Nissan beat Toyota and Honda. Renault and Fiat Chrysler highlighted possible synergies that come from sharing parts and research costs as the benefits of the merger. But what Fiat Chrysler lacks and really wanted was what's called in the industry "electrification technology," Takeuchi said. With emissions regulations getting stricter around the world, having such technology is crucial. Yokohama-based Nissan makes the world's best-selling electric car Leaf. Its Note, an electric car equipped with a small gas engine to charge its battery, was Japan's No. 1 selling car for the fiscal year through March, the first time in 50 years that a Nissan model beat Toyota and Honda Motor Co. for that title. Nissan is also a leader in autonomous-driving technology, another area all the automakers are trying to innovate. "Although Nissan had no say, its cautionary stance on the merger ended up being very meaningful," Takeuchi said.
Waymo partners with Nissan, Renault on robotaxis outside U.S.
Thu, Jun 20 2019SAN FRANCISCO — Self-driving car pioneer Waymo is teaming up with automakers Renault and Nissan to make its first journey outside the U.S. with a ride-hailing service that will dispatch a fleet of robotaxis in France and Japan. The partnership announced late Wednesday underscores Waymo's ambition to deploy its driverless technology throughout the world in an attempt to revolutionize the way people get around. The Mountain View, California, company can afford to try because it's backed by one of the world's richest companies, Google, which secretly began working on driverless technology a decade ago before spinning off that project into what is now known as Waymo. After launching its ride-hailing service in France and Japan, Waymo intends to explore other European and Asian markets with Renault and Nissan. "This is an ideal opportunity for Waymo to bring our autonomous technology to a global stage," Waymo CEO John Krafcik said. Waymo, Renault and Nissan didn't set a timetable for when their ride-hailing service will launch. They left most other details vague. It seems likely it will still be several years before Waymo will be in a position to pose a serious challenge to Uber, the world's largest ride-hailing service. Although Waymo's self-driving technology is widely considered to be the world's most advanced, it still isn't adept enough to be trusted without a human poised to take control in case something goes awry with the robot. Waymo had hoped to launch a fully autonomous ride-hailing service last year in the Phoenix area, but instead is still keeping human safety drivers in those vehicles more than six months after it rolled out. That service, known as Waymo One, is still only offering rides to a few hundred passengers that previously participated in a test program. Krafcik told the German newspaper Handelsblatt last year that Waymo will likely use a different brand for its ride-hailing services outside the U.S. That could be one reason Waymo is working with France-based Renault and Japan-based Nissan, household names in their home countries. Waymo has previously struck deals with two automakers, Fiat Chrysler and Jaguar, but those involved ordering tens of thousands of vehicles to be equipped with self-driving technology for services in the U.S. So far, Waymo is only using Fiat Chrysler minivans for its Phoenix service. The partnership with Renault and Nissan also involves a long-time alliance they formed with Mitsubishi.
