Mitsubishi 3000gt Vr4 Twin Turbo on 2040-cars

We bought this car in Las Vegas in approximately 2006, my wife (41 years old)   has used it as her daily driver since then, 99% of the time on pavement, 16 miles to and from work each day.      The car is in basically pretty good shape.  It has 145,xxx miles, and she still drives it every day. It has had regular oil changes using Mitsubishi filters and Castrol 10-40.  It has a sunroof you can either crank open or completely remove.  It has a nice sounding pioneer xm capable cd player, which goes thru two amps hidden in the back under the trunk floor, and has a custom built woofer box that is hard to see if you don't know its there, behind the back seat, with what looks like 10" size audiobahn speakers.  I don't know what all the other speakers are because I didn't have it installed, it was in the car when we bought the car.  It does ROCK.  It stays crystal clear PAST the point that your ears start to hurt.  It has 18" DeTata wheels, which were also on the car when we bought it. The car handles great and runs very well and is and has been very reliable.  The turbos spool up good and give the car quite a bit of power.  The  all wheel drive and all wheel steer systems work well. The active aero works so far as I know, we never use it though. The engine is completely stock except for a popoff valve on the turbos which was also added by the previous owner. There is no rust anywhere.  The exhaust may be performance, not sure, but it sounds really good. Seems like it is flowmaster but again, not sure. (Not loud though.) We got a carfax at the time of purchase, so I am sure the car will still check out good with carfax as it has been in no collisions or accidents. The tires are speed rated and getting worn.  It is time for rotation, with approximately 10-20% tread left on the rear and 40% on the front.      

Some of the bad now. The Las Vegas heat took a toll on the leather, it cracked all apart on the front seats. The interior carpet cleans up nicely but does have stains from being 20 years old, mostly under the floor mats, which are worn as well.    It has a short 3-4" crack on the dash on the small shelf between the glove box and main dashboard which we keep covered with a dash carpet.    The ground effects outside have popped loose at the top in one spot on each side,  but it would be an easy fix and it isn't really noticeable or effect operability. (doesn't vibrate or make noise and a couple screws would fix it)    The body has a few little dings, very small dimples where it has gotten bumped with golf clubs or something falling against it when sitting in a garage- all before we got the car.    The sunroof crank handle broke off and it has been glued back but it functions fine. The leather shifter boot and shifter knob show some deterioration. The dash lights can be quirky, as is normal with these cars.  The radiator light, for example, has been on since we bought the car with 78,000 miles on it.  The car does not smoke, but we have to add a little oil every 3-4 tank fulls of fuel  to keep it topped off.  I am not sure where it is going as it does not leave any puddles to speak of underneath it when sitting.  The same goes for the power steering fluid, but it only needs replenished every 4-5 months of normal driving.    The Freon in the air conditioning leaked off and the AC does not work, but the compressor etc still is fine.  We had it refilled once, but evidently the leak was not found so it has leaked off again.

All in all, she isn't a show car, but she is in really good shape for a car that is 21 years old.  Last year she fell off the NADA and Kelley Blue Book car values guides, and  dropped into the NADA/ KBB  "Classic" car value guides, and is appreciating each year now. Currently the car's value is  over   5000.00  in both the NADA and KBB Classics as an "average" condition vehicle..   

I would prefer that you pick the car up, and I have no doubts that it would make it to anywhere in the US but that statement is not a guarantee, of course.     Additionally-  I require a 500.00 non-refundable deposit via paypal if you  win this auction,  paid within 24 hours.    

We are only selling her because we are getting the wife a newer, bigger  car and don't want to let her sit around and go bad. Thanks for looking!
