2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Gsr Sedan 4-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Beltsville, Maryland, United States
|
Up for sale I have a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR with 7,555 original miles! That is NOT a typo! Seven thousand five hundred and fifty five miles! This is definitely the lowest mile EVO IX you will find for sale today or in the future. There might be a few other unicorns out there in the wild but if it has lower mileage than this one, the owner probably won't be selling it anytime soon! This is your chance to basically rewind the clock to 2006 and almost buy this car brand new! Look at the pictures, your eyes are not deceived!
This car has sat in a garage in Texas since 2007 which is why it is so well preserved! I'd like to think I'm a pretty honest guy so because of that I try to disclose everything I know about a vehicle that I'm selling. I bought this car as an investment back in July of last year. There is a reason why this car has sat since 2007, the engine chipped piston #1. I don't know the full story but I can only assume that the original owner turned the boost up with a manual boost controller and the car wasn't properly tuned which lead to higher EGTs and piston #1 failing. It could also be a fluke but since I've worked on these vehicles professionally since 2006, I'm more inclined to believe the former rather than the latter. So I guess it's time for me to tell you a little bit about myself so you know who restored this beauty back to it's former glory. My name is Greg and I own UCS Performance located in Beltsville, MD. I've been working on EVOs professionally since 2006 and under my own company's banner since 2010. EVOs that I have built or have had a hand in building have won numerous events in road racing including the 2007 NASA TTR class National Championship beating Buschur Racing and Robi Spec, multiple Redline Time Attack victories on the east coast in 2006-2008, two SCCA T2 class National Championships and multiple year division champion for car #34 owned and driven by Marty Grand just to name a few! Now that I've established some of my pedigree, let's get back to this beautiful wicked white EVO IX GSR. This is a one owner car that like previously stated had an engine issue that caused this car to sit in a garage in Lubbock, Texas until last year when I bought it. The owner was a non smoker and thanks to the favorable weather conditions in Texas this car was well preserved with no rust taking hold of her. I paid a premium for this car because of the ridiculously low mileage. Finding a car with this low of mileage, especially for the much desired EVO IX is extremely difficult. On top of that, it's wicked white! There were about 3500 EVO IX GSR's imported into the country and wicked white is the second rarest to electric blue. The vehicle came to me with the cylinder head removed and in a box. The damage to piston #1 was quite evident. Not horrible but the piston definitely lost a bit of it's crown. There was no bore damage and a simple quick hone was able to restore the bore to its OEM state. I purchased a new piston and ring set and installed the new piston with the ring set gapped to the proper specs. The cylinder head went to one of my local machine shops to be refreshed and resurfaced since it had been sitting for several years. Once I received it back I reinstalled it with a new OEM headgasket and new OEM head bolts. The turbo was inspected and there was no damage to the turbine wheel from piston #1 losing a bit of it's mass. The vehicle also came to me without any seats as I guess the previous owner sold it for whatever reason. I installed black leather seats from a IX GSR that had the SSL option package. I think the black leather compliments the white color perfectly, much better looking than the stock blue and black Recaro's that came in the vehicle originally. The seats are in great condition and came out of an EVO IX that had about 35k miles on it before it was converted to a race car. While I had the car on the lift I went through her with a fine toothed comb. All fluids were replaced due to her sitting for almost 7 years. Engine oil and coolant are obvious because of the repair to the engine. I also flushed the brake fluid and replaced all drivetrain fluids with OEM fluids direct from Mitsubishi. This includes the transmission (MT 75W-85), transfercase (Diaqueen LSD gear oil), ACD system (SP III) and the rear differential (Diaqueen LSD gear oil). The brakes and CV joints were checked, wheel bearings were checked, all bushings and boots were checked and nary a problem was found. This car is in FANTASTIC shape! The OEM clear coat on the Brembos is in great shape with just a hint of fading starting to appear around the brake bleeders. A compression test has been performed after the repair to the engine and the compression numbers are right at OEM specs. OEM specs for the MIVEC version of the 4G63 found in the EVO IX is 140 PSI. The results varied from 138 PSI to 145 PSI. Damn near perfect! There is video below of the compression test! The vehicle is totally stock except for three things. First the windows are tinted. Second it is on lowering springs. I'm not exactly sure which ones, but it's lowered. I do have stock springs in case someone really wanted that but I think it looks great just the way it is. Lastly it's on aftermarket wheels and tires. The wheels are HD Tuning Clutch wheels in black. They are 18x9 and wrapped in Nitto INVO's with a 245/40/R18 tire. Both the wheels and tires are BRAND NEW. The pictures below do not reflect the fact that the OEM undertray IS installed on the vehicle. It was removed to service the vehicle and has been reinstalled after I took pictures of the squeaky clean underside! The vehicle has a clean title with no liens. There is a lien on the title but it HAS been released! When you do a search on this vehicle you will see multiple titles reissued to the same owner. Once at its original purchase, again in 2009 which must have been due to a lost title and then again in 2013 when the original owner screwed up filling out the title and had to have a copy reissued. Finally, on to the important part, the pictures!
Obviously this is a large purchase, you may call me at my shop at 301.595.1795 to discuss the vehicle if you so choose. |

Mitsubishi to offer new Galant, Montero in US?
Wed, 03 Apr 2013We admit it - we've been skeptical about Mitsubishi's fortunes here in the US for a long time now, and this month's reveal of the 2014 Mirage subcompact at the New York Auto Show didn't do much to quell our consternation. Yes, the Mirage should attract a certain portion of the buying population based on what will likely be the best fuel economy figures in its segment and a low price, but the profitability of basic small cars is limited even under the best of circumstances. Mitsubishi is clearly going to need something meatier in its portfolio if it wants to get back on track financially.
Help appears to be on the way. According to The Detroit Free Press, Masatoshi Hasegawa, the company's executive vice president here in North America, has confirmed that at least two more models are destined for the company's US dealerships, and it looks like they're going to be entries into higher-volume, higher-margin segments. Hasegawa pledges that the company will overhaul its lineup over the next two to three years, and one of them will be a successor to the often-ignored Galant, a midsize sedan we last saw for the 2012 model year.
And what of the other model? Apparently it will be an unnamed "bigger brother" for the new 2014 Outlander, an acknowledgment that suggests Mitsubishi is considering bringing its Montero/Pajero SUV back to the States. Earlier this month, we heard a report that a next-generation model for the venerable off-roader remains a few years out, but it's possible Mitsubishi might import the current aging model before the new one is produced. A big shift is said to be in the works for the fifth-generation model, with a massive weight loss and possible plug-in hybrid variant tipped as top goals for the program.
These are your top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012
Mon, Jan 7 2013Despite 2012 being the best year of auto sales this country has seen since 2007, not every vehicle got an equally large share of the sales pie. Some barely got a sliver, as evidenced by this year's list of the top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012. We've dug through sales data from every automaker to come up with this year's list and, like last year, we've set some parameters to ensure it includes legitimately bad-selling vehicles. The first parameter is a starting MSRP under $100,000, which automatically excludes what's parked in most one-percenters' garages. We're also excluding vehicles cancelled in 2012, even if they garnered sales through the end of the year while dealerships sold off remaining inventory. This includes models like the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and last year's worst-seller, the Acura RL. Next, vehicles are considered as they are reported by the automaker, which means that, while sales of the Murano CrossCabriolet were probably low enough to make the list, because Nissan reports only one number for all Murano sales, it was excluded. Cadillac, however, reports sales of the Escalade EXT separately from the Escalade, hence its repeat appearance. Finally, there was the question of whether or not eligibility should be given to Suzuki vehicles, as the brand announced in November that it would end sales in the US as soon as its current inventory ran out. We decided Suzuki vehicles should be included as the brand was offering 2013 models at the time of the announcement, and as far as we can tell, inventory levels remained high enough to satisfy demand through the end of the year. Without further ado, below are the top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012. Top 10 Worst-Selling Vehicles of 2012 10. Volvo C30 MSRP: $25,500 Units Sold: 2,827 Last Year: – 9. BMW Z4 MSRP: $47,350 Units Sold: 2,751 Last Year: – 8. Audi TT MSRP: $39,545 Units Sold: 2,226 Last Year: – 7. Subaru Tribeca MSRP: $32,595 Units Sold: 2,075 Last Year: 10 6. Suzuki Equator MSRP: $19,449 Units Sold: 1,966 Last Year: 7 5. Cadillac Escalade EXT MSRP: $63,060 Units Sold: 1,934 Last Year: 6 4. Nissan GT-R MSRP: $96,820 Units Sold: 1,188 Last Year: – 3.

Mitsubishi recalling 166k cars, crossovers over stall risk
Fri, 10 Oct 2014Mitsubishi is recalling 165,923 vehicles in the US because it's possible for the drive belt to detach from their engines, potentially causing a stall. Specifically, the campaign covers 2008-2011 model-year examples of the Lancer, Lancer Evolution (pictured above) and Outlander as well as the 2009-2011 Lancer Sportback and 2011 Outlander Sport. All of the affected models use some version of the brand's 4B1 four-cylinder engine.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the engine pulley can wear causing the drive belt to slip off. If this happens, the alternator, cooling fan and hydraulic power steering can all stop working, and obviously, any of those things could make driving unsafe. However, if the belt detaches, then a warning light should come on in the cabin.
To fix the problem, Mitsubishi dealers will replace the original belt with a redesigned rubber part and will inspect the pulley. If worn, it'll also be replaced free of charge.
