My 3000GT SL was purchased in May 1998. I am the second owner of the vehicle. The exterior color is Caracas Red and has a black leather interior. The car was babied and garage parked all the time. It comes from a non-smoker and I have all service records. It has a clean CARFAX history and clear title. It is not in running condition and needs repair. It will make a great project since it's still in good shape aside from issue #5 below. All major maintenance and issues encountered are listed below with repairs performed:

1) Automatic Climate Control with Display upgrade by Costa Mesa Mitsubishi on 07/22/1998. Cost was $2,057.

2) 60k miles service: Timing belt, water pump and all belts were replaced by Anaheim Mitsubishi dealer on 09/15/2001. Cost was $864.

3) Cold air problem: A/C evaporator was replaced by Anaheim Mitsubishi dealer on 06/26/2007. Cost was $850.

4) Auto Transmission was replaced and a separate transmission cooler with line were installed on 08/25/2007 at 90,667. Cost was $2000

5) Car was burning oil: Engine was rebuilt by Kar King Auto in Ontario CA on 11/11/2011 at 94,388 miles. Cost was $2200.

6) Timing belt pulley broke while driving vehicle on a street last May (2013). I didn't repair the issue and decided to sell the car. Therefore, I am selling it as is and the car is not running.

The original SL wheels were upgraded to the VR-4 5-spoke chrome package. The manual climate control system was upgraded by the dealer to the automatic system that comes with the display unit. Current miles on the odometer: 105,089. So basically the new engine barely got 10k miles after it was rebuilt (looks new if you take the oil cap off) and new tranny got 15k miles. I am not very happy to part with this car but I have to make room. Maybe you have the time to repair it and take over so it will shine again.

I will tow the vehicle anywhere you want for free up to 75 miles and I am available to show the vehicle if you are local to Orange County. Good luck!

Mitsubishi reportedly plans to spend billions to get back in the game

Tue, Oct 17 2017

Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors reportedly plans to inject more than 600 billion yen ($5.35 billion) in capital spending and research and development over the next three years through fiscal 2019 in a bid to turn around its business after recent scandals. The Nikkei newspaper said the new plan calls for spending 5 percent of annual sales on equipment and the same proportion on R&D. Funds will be used by the company for the development of electrified vehicles such as the new e-Evolution concept and for production in China and Indonesia. Mitsubishi Motors will release the specifics of the new medium-term plan on Wednesday, the business daily said.

MotorWeek remembers a better time for Mitsubishi performance

Fri, Feb 26 2016

Dodge still knows how to create an capable performance car – look at the Hellcats, for example – but the same isn't true for Mitsubishi. With the Lancer Evo's demise, we don't expect driving enthusiasts to clamor for any of the Japanese automaker's other products. Things used to be different, though. As MotorWeek found in its new Retro Review, the 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 and its sibling, the Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo, were impressive sports coupes in their day. Dodge and Mitsubishi packed a bevy of cutting-edge tech into the coupes. In these trims, both sported all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, an adjustable suspension, active exhaust, and automatic climate control. The 3000GT VR4 upped the ante even more with active aero parts at the front and rear. Their 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 was good for 300 horsepower and 307 pound-feet, which were good numbers at the time. This pair put all their gizmos to good use, too. MotorWeek compares the all-wheel-drive system's grip levels to a Porsche 911 Carrera 4. When was the last time you heard any favorable similarity between a Mitsubishi and a Porsche? The Stealth R/T Turbo and 3000GT VR4 came from a special time for Japanese sports coupes, when every brand had a halo model. Whether you were looking at Nissan 300ZX, Mazda RX-7, Toyota Supra, or even the Acura NSX, there was a lot to like on the market. MotorWeek's latest Retro Review offers a great reminder of that period.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross will be crossing over to the US sometime in the fall

Tue, Feb 28 2017

Here it is, Mitsubishi's latest effort to take a piece of the CUV pie, the Eclipse Cross. The crossover makes its official debut at the Geneva Show, and it looks just aggressive enough to be unique, but not so strange that it will scare away the average buyer. Most interesting are the aggressive cues cribbed from the XR-PHEV II Concept, like the forward-raked rear hatch, chunky rear fenders, and deep crease along the side. However, the shape is still clearly crossover, and the nose isn't too radical. In fact, it may be the most attractive version of Mitsubishi's shield grille yet. Interestingly, the Eclipse Cross is within an inch or two size-wise compared with the existing Outlander Sport, though this should change down the road when a newer, smaller Outlander Sport is introduced. The interior follows a similar theme to the exterior. The most striking aspect is the center stack, which slants downward toward the shifter and juts out over the climate control buttons. But everything is finished in simple, inoffensive black and aluminum-look trim. The sliding and reclining rear seats should be useful for comfort and cargo space. Next to the shifter is a touch-pad that looks extremely similar to the pad Lexus uses for its systems. A couple of our editors find the Lexus version to be rather awful, so hopefully Mitsubishi has refined and improved it. As a back-up, you can simply use the touch screen perched atop the dash, which may be more handy for using the car's default user interface, or the supported Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Also on the dash is a pop-up heads-up display similar to that in current Mazdas. View 11 Photos One big selling point for the Eclipse Cross is its standard all-wheel drive. There is also just one engine and one transmission. Power comes from a turbocharged 1.5-liter gasoline inline-four, and it's channeled through a CVT with 8 ratios that can be manually shifted. Mitsubishi has yet to announce output for the four-pot. Other markets will have the option of a 2.2-liter turbocharged diesel four-cylinder with an 8-speed automatic, but it won't make the trip to the States. Europe will be the first to get the Eclipse Cross, where it will show up at dealers this fall. Afterward, it will arrive in other markets, including the US. So expect it to appear sometime at the end of this year, or possibly the start of next year. Pricing has not been announced yet. Related Video:
