I bought this beauty a year ago from an "ebayer" in New Jersey and I am just the third owner of the Starion. The seller stated that the vehicle had been impounded by the police and subsequently put in storage for 20 years (I do have a copy of his original eBay listing plus his email stating the history of the car). He wasn't truthful on many counts, but this I can tell you: Carfax confirms that the vehicle had less than 19,000 miles on it when I bought it and it now has less than 21,000 miles. Based upon the work I've put in to it, being in storage for that many years is a reasonable assumption. Repairs/restoration has included: NEW (not used or refurbed) head, new head gasket, refurbed turbo (original), refurbed radiator, refurbed heater core, NEW fuel pump and check valve, new battery, new computer module, new water pump, PLUS the engine was torn down and rebuilt and bored with new bearings, new pistons, new rings, new valves, plus all the fixings. The "dipstick" I bought this from had the primary and secondary injector wiring reversed but a certified Mitsubishi mechanic has since fixed all known issues. The leather interior is in great shape including seats, carpet, and dash. All lights work, cruise works. Mechanically this has been restored/rebuilt to like new condition. There is NO rust anywhere although there are a couple of repairable dents in the right rear quarter panel. The paint on the composite/rubber rear spoiler has peeled off and there are some "keyed" areas on the drivers side. This a beautiful every day driver as is OR a partial or complete paint job with easily make this a show car. I truly drive this car every day I can, but do avoid driving it in bad weather that could diminish it's rust free life. Oh, numbers match as well! I've put a $200.00 deposit down on a NEW front air dam and the buyer can HAVE that deposit if you pay the balance of $75.00 + it's shipping and will include it with sale when it arrives. Sale includes a few extra parts plus a service manual.

Mitsubishi Lancer, Outlander Sport named 2013 IIHS Top Safety Picks
Thu, 27 Dec 2012The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has added a pair of Mitsubishi models to its ever-growing list of 2013 Top Safety Picks, giving the prestigious safety award to the 2013 Outlander Sport and Lancer (sedan and Sportback). Both models make a return visit to the list, but with 117 cars now on the list and IIHS crash standards getting tougher just about every, this is big news for the small Japanese automaker.
Among small SUVs, the Outlander Sport is just one of nine vehicles in this segment to be named a Top Safety Pick, while the Lancer's name is surrounded by 28 other compact coupes, sedans and hatchbacks in the highly competitive small car segment. The Top Safety Pick status does not apply to the Lancer's Ralliart or Evolution variants, and neither the Outlander Sport nor the Lancer were subjected to the new small frontal offset crash test that would have resulted in the new Top Safety Pick+.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X Final Edition gets official for Japan only
Thu, Apr 16 2015It'll be the end of an era when Mitsubishi discontinues the Lancer Evolution, putting to rest a dynasty that challenged the Subauru WRX STI for decades. But before it does, the Diamond-Star automaker is sending off its most celebrated model with the Final Edition you see here. Unfortunately, it's nowhere near as cool as the concept. While the showcar pumped the output from its 2.0-liter turbo four to 473 horsepower thanks to a remapped ECU and a fresh HKS turbocharger, the production version is sticking with the stock 296 hp. It's otherwise based on the GSR model, so it's got a five-speed gearbox, but packs a long list of top-shelf equipment: BBS alloys, Bilstein shocks, Eibach springs, Brembo brakes, Recaro seats... the works. Mitsubishi will only offer 1,000 examples of the Evo X Final Edition in Japan, where buyers will be able to choose between five exterior colors and a contrasting roof in black or white. We don't know at this point whether a similar special will be offered Stateside, but if it is, we hope it'll pack at least some of the concept's power upgrades (we can dream, right?).
Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla store reboot, Jaguar "EV-Type" an electric F-Pace?
Thu, Aug 27 2015The Connecticut Hydrogen and Electric Automobile Purchase Rebate (CHEAPR) program is creating demand for EVs. $1 million has been set aside for rebates ranging from $750 to $3,000 per car, depending on battery size (in addition to federal incentives). Dealers also get an incentive of $150 to $300 per vehicle to help motivate them to promote EVs. "This is the type of program that can be a win-win-win for the state, auto manufacturers, dealers and consumers," says Chevrolet dealer Leo Karl, who has seen a jump in demand for the Volt under the CHEAPR program. Karl expects the funds to run out as early as this fall. Read more at Automotive News. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is scheduled to go on sale in the US in May 2016. As Mitsubishi makes some changes, including plans to ditch its Normal, IL assembly plant, the company's future in the US is being called into question. The new date for the plug-in hybrid version of the Outlander comes after multiple delays. Mitsubishi also plans to offer a 2016 model of the i-MiEV despite slowing sales.

The revamp includes informative interactive displays and a heavier emphasis on Tesla merchandise sales. The displays provide information about safety, Autopilot technology, the charging network, electric motors and other information to help familiarize customers with Tesla. The Tesla Design Collection - which includes luggage, apparel and other gear - also helps position Tesla as a luxury lifestyle brand, rather than just a mere automaker. Expect the stores to be continually updated over time. "Tesla is able to pivot in their stores the way they release new software," says Cadent Consulting Group's Ken Harris. "This is important to an emerging brand." Learn more from Bloomberg. Could Jaguar be planning an electric F-Pace called the EV-Type to compete with the Tesla Model X? Autocar is reporting that the upcoming SUV from Jaguar could spawn a whole family of vehicles, including an all-electric version. Jaguar has registered the trademark for the EV-Type name, and that vehicle would likely be built at the Magna Steyr factory in Graz, Austria. That would free up capacity to build the traditionally powered F-Pace in the UK. Read more at Green Car Reports, or at Autocar.
