For Sale is a 1995 Mitsubishi Galant S with REBUILT TRANSMISSION and clear title. I am asking $750 but feel free to give an offer. Although this car does run and drive I am selling car as a parts car for the following reason:

***The front inner wheel wells are rusting where the upper A arm for the front suspension is held in place. So the upper A arm is no longer holding the front tire tightly in place anymore.*** I had estimates on repairs and determined it will cost more to repair that what the car is worth.  Along with the fact that the rear end might be an issue in the near future.


More issues with the car:

* The frame where the rear end is held in place is getting really rusty.

* I think there is a power steering leak? I believe 2 lines are just extremely rusty.

* The inner door handle just broke the same day the front end issue was found.

* Headliner was removed because of old age/ water damage (it was all tattered and torn).

* Sky light leaks, not bad just a few drops over both front seats.

* Paint has been coming off the trunk lid ever since I bought it.

* The rear shock mounts have rusted out of the wheel wells quite some time ago but I have rigged up a bracket to hold them in place.

* Passenger door lock (doesn't work) and truck lock (works) were vandalized just 2 months ago.

* Stained seats from the leaky sunroof.

* Believed a previous owner was rear ended because of bent brace when trunk is opened.  Along with the paint on the rear quarter panels don't match 100% (only when lighting is just right) and flaky trunk lid.  But car comes with CLEAR TITLE.



 The Good:

****The Transmission was rebuilt 2 years ago, only 18,000 miles on rebuild.****   Tranny was rebuilt at 130,000 miles even, when I picked up the car it wasn't a mile over or under 130,000.

****Newer tires, put on just after transmission rebuild 18,000 miles on all 4. They look like NEW yet.****  They are Altimax RT General size P185/70R14

* American Racing aluminum wheels.

* All motor and tranny mounts were replaced during tranny rebuild.

* Newer belts on motor.

* Brand New rear brakes, both brake shoes and drum (Maybe 1000-2000 miles on them).

* Front brakes like new.

* Newer idle control module, thermostat, neutral safety switch, spark plugs, plug wires, air cleaner.

* Front passenger fender is a nice fender if one needs the sheet metal.  Doors and other front fender have very little rust starting but ok for age.

* No issues with electronics.



 More about the car. I have owned this car for the last 5-6 years. The car has 148000 miles on it (100700 when bought). It has always had regular oil changes with new oil filters with every oil change (changed every 2000-2500 miles, I have slip on when oil changes were made.). I have not had any issues with the motor since I have owned it. This car has had an easy life while I have owned. I always accelerated and braked really easy so I could get the best MPG that I could gat with the car. During summer months I averaged 25-30+ mpg's and in winter 20-25 mpg's. I just recently drove this very car down to Des Moines Iowa (8/1/2013) and got an amazing 36 MPG's (401.05 miles on 11.184 gallons = 35.86 mpg). On longer trips like that I always averaged 33-36 mpg's.  I have always kept the engine running below 3000 rpm's.  Even on the freeway, always kept it below 65 mph (in order to get the best mpg's).  This has really always been a really reliable car for me other than the transmission rebuild.  I am a do it yourself kind of guy, and always made repairs ASAP once they were found. 

This motor and transmission are the best candidates for a transplant if someone needs them.  Both the engine and transmission I think work flawlessly.

If you have any other questions please feel free to email me.  I can send more pictures to those who are interested.  Thank You Very Much.

Mitsubishi admits to tampering with fuel economy data

Wed, Apr 20 2016

Mitsubishi admitted this week to intentionally rigging fuel-economy testing in four of its models sold in Asia. The affected models are all so-called Kei class cars with sub-660cc engines manufactured at Mitsubishi's Mizushima plant in Okayama, Japan. About 157,000 of those cars are Mitsubishi eK wagons and eK Space models, and 468,000 are re-badged Nissan Dayz and Dayz Roox cars, which Mitsubishi produces for Nissan. The matter came to light after Nissan found inconsistencies in reported mileage data, which then led to Mitsubishi launching an internal investigation. The fraud was discovered to be related to falsified tire pressure data, which has an effect on mileage results – an important matter considering these kinds of vehicles are marketed by fuel economy. Mitsubishi said it has stopped manufacturing and marketing the affected vehicles. The news caused Mitsubishi's stock to plummet over 15 percent, slicing $1.2 billion off the company's value. When the eK models hit the market three years ago, they were decorated with a Good Design Award by the Japanese Ministry of Economy – a merit that is now surely tarnished. While Mitsubishi has been suffering in the US recently, with news of the Normal, Illinois plant closing, its small Mirage model has sold well.

6 cars that are eligible for import to the U.S. in 2023

Wed, Jan 18 2023

For car enthusiasts, the most exciting part of ringing in a new year is watching the list of import-eligible cars grow. Federal regulations make bringing a late-model car from Europe or Asia mind-bogglingly difficult, but these barriers fall as soon as a vehicle turns 25. There's no need to slash through a jungle of red tape; simply ship your dream forbidden fruit over, pay import duties, and in most states you're good to park a fresh import car in your garage. Of course, you need to locate any car you're considering importing, whether it's on this list of cars you can import in 2023 or not. A quick search of the internet will show that there are a lot of places that specialize in sourcing cars to import into the United States, and while we don't have any firsthand experience with any of them, we can point out a few well-known import car dealers, including some at auction. Duncan Imports and Classics bills itself as "America's Largest JDM Dealer" and keeps a large inventory of vehicles that have already been brought into the States. The Import Guys boast options to ship and finance worldwide, Davey Japan claims to have exported over 50,000 vehicles from Japan, and Goonet Exchange says it's operated by "Japan's largest used car information site." Japanese site Be Forward lists a staggering 10,949 online reviews at the time of writing with an average score of around 4.5 out of 5 stars. If your new year's resolution is to buy a car from overseas, here are some of the highlights from 2023's crop of importable cars. Keep in mind that some of these import cars were introduced in 1997 but didn't enter production until 1998, while others made their debut late in the year. And without further ado, here is a list of six cars that are eligible for import to the U.S. in 2023 that are worth noting. Cars that are eligible to import into the U.S. in 2023 Alfa Romeo 166 Developed to replace the 164, the 166 stands out as Alfa Romeo's last true flagship sedan; it wasn't directly replaced. It shares its front-wheel-drive platform with the Lancia Kappa but the two cars look nothing alike. Alfa Romeo gave the big sedan a smooth, relatively elegant design that borrows several styling cues from the smaller 156.

Question of the Day: Most heinous act of badge engineering?

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Badge engineering, in which one company slaps its emblems on another company's product and sells it, has a long history in the automotive industry. When Sears wanted to sell cars, a deal was made with Kaiser-Frazer and the Sears Allstate was born. Iranians wanted new cars in the 1960s, and the Rootes Group was happy to offer Hillman Hunters for sale as Iran Khodro Paykans. Sometimes, though, certain badge-engineered vehicles made sense only in the 26th hour of negotiations between companies. The Suzuki Equator, say, which was a puzzling rebadge job of the Nissan Frontier. How did that happen? My personal favorite what-the-heck-were-they-thinking example of badge engineering is the 1971-1973 Plymouth Cricket. Chrysler Europe, through its ownership of the Rootes Group, was able to ship over Hillman Avanger subcompacts for sale in the US market. This would have made sense... if Chrysler hadn't already been selling rebadged Mitsubishi Colt Galants (as Dodge Colts) and Simca 1100s as (Simca 1204s) in its American showrooms. Few bought the Cricket, despite its cheery ad campaign. So, what's the badge-engineered car you find most confounding?
