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 diesel hybrid pickup concept, next-gen EV for Geneva
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Mitsubishi has a long history of tidy little pickup trucks, and the Japanese automaker is apparently looking to extend that heritage in a bolder, bigger way with the Concept GR-HEV, a "sport utility hybrid truck."
The future-think show star, slated to be unveiled at next month's Geneva Motor Show, is actually tipped to be a much larger effort - Mitsubishi says it's applying its hybrid technology to a one-ton truck for the first time. The GR-HEV is powered by a complex powertrain composed of a diesel engine and electric motors, which the company believes is better suited to the sort of heavy-duty work required in the segment. The concept also employs full-time four-wheel drive and a development of Mitsubishi's Super All-Wheel Control system (which governs things like stability and brake force control along with an active center differential) as seen on the production Lancer Evolution.
In related news, Mitsubishi has also confirmed that it will show a next-generation electric showcar at Geneva dubbed Concept CA-MiEV. With this new concept (inset photo), the company says it is looking to build on the learnings of its i citycar and take EVs out of their limited urban roles. To that end, the CA-MiEV boasts "next generation EV systems and high density batteries" that give it a range of 186 miles.
Nissan may take control of struggling Mitsubishi Motors
Wed, May 11 2016Update: The reports were largely correct. Nissan will take a 34 percent stake in Mitsubishi for roughly $2.2b. Read all about it here. Reports say Nissan will buy a controlling stake in Mitsubishi Motors, either 30 or 34 percent, for about 200 billion yen or $1.84 billion. Nissan and Mitsubishi motors are currently part of a joint venture, NMKV, to build minicars together. Nissan is also responsible for reporting fuel-economy discrepancies with cars built under the joint-venture agreement, which put Mitsubishi in its current weakened state. Earlier today, reports surfaced that the fuel-economy issues were wider ranging than originally thought. Mitsubishi now admits that all of its Japanese-market cars sold since 1991 could have had faked fuel-economy data. Shares of Mitsubishi Motors have dropped by about half since the scandal was uncovered, opening the door for a takeover. While Nissan is a much larger company, it can benefit from Mitsubishi's 60-percent share of Japan's minicar market. The two companies also had plans to build electric vehicles together in the joint venture. Japan's Nikkei reports that talks are ongoing between the company and that a decision could be made Thursday by the companies' boards. Related Video: News Source: Nikkei Green Mitsubishi Nissan
Mitsubishi boss confirms new Mirage for US; i EV enduring dismal sales
Mon, 12 Nov 2012
By March, Mitsubishi expects to have sold just 55,000 cars in the US this fiscal year. That's a tiny sum - by comparison, Honda has sold over 276,000 Civic models thus far this year - and that's just one vehicle, not an entire brand. Mitsubishi president Osamu Masuko recognizes this is not a tenable position, and he's hoping the company will shift 80,000 units next fiscal year. Warding off speculation, Masuko has repeatedly stated that his company will not retreat from the US market like competitor Suzuki.
We reported on one part of Masuko's plan, the updated Outlander, and now he has confirmed that the small Mirage will be sold in the US beginning next September. The cut-price hatchback is selling well enough that Mitsu's Thailand plant is at its full capacity of 150,000 cars. "And even at that level it's not keeping up with orders," Masuko tells Automotive News. Masuko went on to say the plant would be expanded next year to handle an extra 50,000 units. We can also expect the Outlander plug-in early 2014.
