1998 Mitsubishi 3000 GT Black w/Tan Leather Interior

Baby on the way! Must sell! Low Reserve!

Beautiful car! I purchased this car in March/April 2013 after searching for months for an outstanding well cared for 3000 GT. I am extremely picky with my cars. The car had approximately 50,000 original miles when purchased, the odometer currently reads 57,181. Running Mobil 1 fully synthetic motor oil with Mobil 1 oil filter. I have all repair and maintenance receipts, just ask and I will scan and email them.  The car looks awesome, please see all pictures. No leaks, cold A/C. Current Virginia safety and emissions inspection. After market Kenwood stereo with hands free blue tooth, single CD and MP3. Custom tinted windows by LA Tint. Mitsubishi valve stem caps. Car is nearly 100% stock, excluding the cold air intake, stereo and white front side marker lights (replaced the stock amber lights). Only interior wear is on driver’s seat as you slide in and out of the car. Car runs straight as an arrow down the road. The one reported accident was when I was stopped at a stop light and I was tapped in the rear and my drivers side bumper cover and plastic side skirt were damaged. This was a low impact. Both the bumper and rocker panel side skirt were replaced with factory OEM parts at a USAA recommended body shop. Receipt and details available upon request.

2 Sets of Keys with Remote, Owners Manual, spare tire and jacking equipment

NEW:

Brand new tires and alignment (all tires are matching); Brand new tune up, plugs, wires, distributer cab and rotor; Brand new alternator; Brand new O2 sensors(all); Brand new ignition coil; Brand new catalytic convertor; Brand new alternator belt and power steering serpentine belt; new battery

What it needs:

Please see detailed page attached. The Mitsubishi dealer checked the car from top to bottom and all ignition, fuel system, other system components came back 100% without issue; however the dealer suspects the car needs a new distributor. The car also needs rear brakes, may need calipers and rotors. Please also note the timing belt per the manufacturer is due at 60,000 miles.

This car has been well cared for and can be amazing. Turns heads and looks great going down the road. The car starts and runs, however I would recommend having it towed.

Title in Hand.

If you have questions, please ask before bidding. I will do my best to respond promptly. Thank you.


On Jul-26-14 at 03:45:25 PDT, seller added the following information:

The reason I would consider having the car towed is because the dealer believes the car needs a distributor(please see detailed picture with dealers findings). The car starts immediately when cold and runs smooth and normal at that time, however when the car is warm it begins to hesitate and may stall.

My car is listed locally as well. Should it sell my auction could end early at my option. Bid soon!

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV now for real due in 'late summer, early fall'

Fri, Apr 1 2016

Any day now, American plug-in vehicle shoppers will be able to actually buy a plug-in hybrid SUV. Europeans and Japanese buyers have had this option for many years, since the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV went on sale in those markets in 2013. There have been plenty of diversions in the route that is bringing the big PHEV to our shores, but it's looking like, "late summer, early fall," is when thing will for real happen. 10-20 percent of total Outlander sales would be "a very good number." That's the message from Don Swearingen, executive vice president of Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA), who we spoke to at the New York Auto Show where the PHEV made its debut appearance. Swearingen said that the dealers are as ready as the customers. "As we talked to our dealer council, they are all very interested in this product," he said. "[Range anxiety was] eliminated with this vehicle, and because of that, I think we are going to have some pretty good response." Swearingen didn't put a specific number to that claim, but said that 10-20 percent of total Outlander sales (which currently sit at around 2,000 a month) would be "a very good number." Previously, Mitsubishi representatives said they expected to sell 4,000 PHEV units in the first year. As we've documented over the years, there were a number of reasons for why the US didn't get the first batch of Outlander PHEVs. One of the big ones was that the PHEV was selling like gangbusters elsewhere. It's the best-selling PHEV in all of Europe, for example, and was the fourth-best-selling plug-in vehicle anywhere in February 2016. And Mitsubishi just couldn't make enough of them. Swearingen said the main bottleneck for this was the battery pack supplier Lithium Energy Japan, which didn't have the capacity to make more than it did. So, instead of leaving three markets without enough supply, Mitsubishi decided to leave one in the lurch and focus on the other two. Plus, since the Outlander PHEV will be based on the 2017 gas-powered Outlander, it will come with numerous safety enhancements as well as the 100+ improvements that the 2016 Outlander got compared to the 2015. In other words, all the pieces are all coming together. The Outlander PHEV is "the best of both worlds." - Francine Harsini At least, that's what Francine Harsini, MMNA's senior director of marketing, said. The final important part are the customers, and Harsini said that Mitsubishi will be a big national marketing push. The general theme?

Ghosn: Restoring Mitsubishi's reputation is biggest challenge

Thu, May 12 2016

After news that Mitsubishi falsified its fuel economy data on every vehicle it has sold in Japan since 1991, and the tumble in the company's value that followed, the troubled carmaker has an unlikely savior. Nissan has confirmed it will purchase over one third of Mitsubishi's stock, or 34 percent. The stake is valued at $2.2 billion. Ghosn says making Mitsubishi a part of the Renault-Nissan alliance will save billions in development costs. But the merger certainly isn't without challenges. "The biggest challenge is to support Mitsubishi changing itself and growing and being profitable and restoring its reputation," said Ghosn. Nissan is a natural partner for Mitsubishi, and since the fuel economy scandal escalated from discrepancies in the data regarding Mitsubishi-manufactured, Nissan-badged Japan-market vehicles, it makes sense for the company to sweep in and save the day. Nissan itself is partially owned by Renault, and Nissan has a 15-percent stake in the French automaker. Mitsubishi's chairman, Osamu Masuko says that the merger was inevitable, that it "would have happened one day" anyway, according to the New York Times. Carlos Ghosn, chairman of both Nissan and Renault, is confident they will be able to turn Mitsubishi's fortunes around. "We have the track record to make it work", Ghosn said, referring to the Renault-funded rescue of Nissan in the early 2000s. Related Video:

Mitsubishi CEO vows to stay in US on heels of Suzuki's departure

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

By now, you're surely aware that Suzuki is pulling out of the US market. It was a bit of a foregone conclusion to most who've been paying attention to the automotive realm, but it still sent a small shockwave through the industry. And one of the most oft-heard retorts goes something like this: "Next up: Mitsubishi."
It's easy to understand why many question Mitsubishi's existence in the States. After all, now that Suzuki is gone, Mitsubishi is the Japanese automaker with the fewest sales in America. Furthermore, the automaker's market share has dropped from .7 percent to just .4 percent after seeing sales fall 29 percent to 50,103 units through October.
In any case, Mitsubishi fans needn't worry. Speaking to Automotive News, Mitsubishi President Osamu Masuko said, "We have no intention whatsoever of withdrawing from the US market." That's about as clear as clear can get. It's also worth mentioning that Gayu Uesugi was just named chairman of Mitsubishi Motors North America, and his main responsibility will be to revitalize the brand in the US.
