Please see all the info on my car below. If you have any questions at all, please contact me and I will try to answer ASAP. Serious Buyers only. I tried to put everything I could possibly think of below about my car, mods, maintenance, etc. I really don't want to sell it but I can't have two cars anymore! I'd rather see someone else really enjoy the car like I did. All of the photos were taken on 10/15/13 as well as the video. It has a few dents/dings that a typical car with 125k miles would have but honestly nothing major at all.

Short Throw TWM Shifter (have stock one for you as well)
Eibach Sport Line Lowering Springs (have stock ones for you too as well as receipts/warranty info from Eibach)
The ES Model doesn’t have a Navigation Unit so I hard wired a Garmin as shown in photos. I will leave this in the car since it’s a nice setup! Automatically goes on and off when car starts/turns off. Has a hinge on it so it can be hidden if desired when parking/etc.
Some small interior mod’s (re-wrapped dash in cloth, blacked out some minor things)
Too many other small mod’s to list!
Issues:
The car came equipped with tire pressure monitor sensors. I sold my stock rims and upgraded as shown. The yellow light is on thinking the tires are flat since the new tire/rim setup doesn’t have those sensors. You can buy 4 sensors for about $100 and have a tire shop install them. I did not because it didn’t bother me as I knew exactly the cause and I check my tire pressure on a bi-weekly basis.
Car came equipped with Bluetooth connectivity for Hands Free calling. It isn’t currently working. After reading forums my assumption is it needs a new module located under the dash. Probably about $100ish to fix or cheaper if you are a DIY'er like myself.
Instead of you coming to see the car and not knowing any issues I am trying to wrack my brain to ensure I let you know about any issues I can possibly think of!
Other info I thought was important to tell you:
I am a 30 year old non smoking male and this car is in great shape. It is my daily driver and I always stayed on top of my maintenance. I know buying a car off of EBay requires a lot of trust from the seller and you can be rest assured that I am trying to be as honest as I can.
This was the first car I ever bought brand new and it’s treated me very well and I have done so in return. 99% of the work was done by myself and I have a file of receipts/etc. for you upon pickup. I’d say a good 85% of these miles are highway, I used to work 6 days a week and traveled about 45 miles each way.
Truly the only reason I am selling the Lancer is because I was given an '04 Audi (I need to send a thank you card to my Aunt haha) and I want to try out an AWD Turbo for a NJ winter! So sadly it’s time to sell my Lancer. If you have any questions whatsoever just ask me and I’ll answer ASAP.
I thought it would be cool to take a quick YouTube video for anyone interested in the car. This was done on 10/15/13. Here is the link for an interior/exterior overview (I know I would want to see a video if I were buying a car on eBay again!):

8 automakers, 15 utilities collaborate on open smart-charging for EVs
Thu, Jul 31 2014We're going to lead with General Motors here. GM is one of eight automakers working with 15 utilities and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) at developing a "smart" plug-in vehicle charging system. Why did we start with GM? Because it's the first automaker whose press release we read that mentioned the other seven automakers. Points for sharing. For the record, the collaboration also includes BMW, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Chrysler, Mitsubishi and Ford. The utilities include DTE Energy, Duke Energy, Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric. The idea is to develop a so-called "demand charging" system in which an integrated system lets the plug-ins and utilities communicate with each other so that vehicle charging is cut back at peak hours, when energy is most expensive, and ramped up when the rates drop. Such entities say there's a sense of urgency to develop such a system because the number of plug-in vehicles on US roads totals more than 225,000 today and is climbing steadily. There's a lot of technology involved, obviously, but the goal is to have an open platform that's compatible with virtually any automaker's plug-in vehicle. No timeframe was disclosed for when such a system could go live but you can find a press release from EPRI below. EPRI, Utilities, Auto Manufacturers to Create an Open Grid Integration Platform for Plug-in Electric Vehicles PALO ALTO, Calif. (July 29, 2014) – The Electric Power Research Institute, 8 automakers and 15 utilities are working to develop and demonstrate an open platform that would integrate plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) with smart grid technologies enabling utilities to support PEV charging regardless of location. The platform will allow manufacturers to offer a customer-friendly interface through which PEV drivers can more easily participate in utility PEV programs, such as rates for off-peak or nighttime charging. The portal for the system would be a utility's communications system and an electric vehicle's telematics system. As the electric grid evolves with smarter functionality, electric vehicles can serve as a distributed energy resource to support grid reliability, stability and efficiency. With more than 225,000 plug-in vehicles on U.S. roads -- and their numbers growing -- they are likely to play a significant role in electricity demand side management.
Mitsubishi recalling i-MiEV models for brake problem
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Mitsubishi is issuing a recall for the 2010-2014 i-MiEV that affects 1,810 units of the little electric car, because it's possible for the brake vacuum pump to stop working. If this happens, the result would be longer stopping distances, according to the company. The affected models were built between September 15, 2009, and March 25, 2014.
While this is just a single recall, there are actually two things that can cause this brake problem on the i-MiEV, according to Mitsubishi's filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. First, bad programming in the EV-ECU could cause the system to "falsely judge that the relay contact point is stuck," according to the full NHTSA defect notice PDF. Second, the vacuum pump exhaust hole could be corroded and blocked due to being splashed with road salt. However, the company says that if either fault happens, the brake warning lamp would illuminate, and there would be an audible alarm.
Depending on which issue is affecting an owner's i-MiEV, Mitsubishi is going to reprogram the software, replace the pump or both. Scroll down to read the recall report from NHTSA.
Consumer Reports: Ford Fusion fun but flawed; Mitsubishi i-MiEV slow, chintzy [w/videos]
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Waiting for a Ford compliment from Consumer Reports these days is like waiting for a low-cost new product from Apple. So we weren't really expecting a glowing review of the 2013 Ford Fusion when CR got its hands on the car. The institute's crew bought three different versions of the Fusion (Hybrid, 1.6-liter EcoBoost and a Titanium with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost) to put through its barrage of tests, and while we aren't too surprised by some of the findings, they're still interesting nonetheless.
CR praises the Fusion for its "eye-catching" design and says that the sportier Titanium trim level is the best-handling midsize sedan they've ever tested, but that's about where the good news ends for Ford. The Fusion Hybrid also posted the best-ever fuel economy CR has recorded in a midsize sedan, but the only problem is that their number was 39 miles per gallon combined - far less than Ford's 47 mpg rating for city, highway and combined. As expected, CR also dinged the Fusion for its MyFord Touch, but some of the other gripes about the car include a cramped cabin and poor fit and finish.
Other Ford products tested this time around include the Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid. Like the Fusion, CR's observed fuel economy of 37 mpg for the C-Max fell well short of Ford's advertised 47-mpg rating, and both cars were criticized for the use of MyFord Touch. CR notes that the Focus Electric's interior is also cramped, with the battery pack taking up a lot of cargo space.
