I'm selling my 1993 3000GT which I've owned since 1996.  I bought this car with about 20,000 miles on it, and have not driven it much.  In the last five years, it has probably had five miles put on it.  It has 55,000 miles on it right now, very low for a 20 year old car.  Car is completely stock other than an aftermarket Pioneer cd player.  I have never driven this car in winter but it has been outside.  Here's your chance to get a lower mileage 3000GT which hasn't been molested.

This car hasn't been driven in years.  It will probably need a tuneup or to be looked over before driving daily.  It does start, though sometimes it turns over for 20-30 seconds before catching.  Once started it will run and can be driven.  The check engine light is on.  The car nas a new battery.  No other work has been done in at least five years.  So you can imagine it will need something -- oil change, tuneup, plugs, etc.

This car does have some paint loss.  The back deck has spots where you're down to a primer.  The passenger side mirror also has issues.  The top edge of the driver's door has the same problem.  This car was not driven in the winter, but the paint in some areas is certainly worn and will need to be addressed.  This car had some hail damage in 2006 or 2007 that was fixed, so the roof and some areas do have new paint on them.  Front Mitsu star is no longer red, has faded and looks off-white. Paint the back deck and passenger mirror and you'd have a sharp looking car.

Car has a tint job that's many years old, it's bubbling in many places.  See the pictures.

Interior is clean and lightly used.  Leather wrapped wheel, shift knob, brake all have age cracking in leather.  Car has an aftermarket CD player from the same 1993-95 vintage.   Works, but power antenna in back does not raise.

Dash has a small crack up front.  Vents are loose under windshield.  Wipers need replaced.  Some light rust on black trim area where wipers sit.  Nothing serious.  

I ran a car with this miles through Kelly Blue Book in fair condition (the worst condition they had) and it said $4600.  I know this car will need some work so I'm starting below that.

With just 75 i-MiEVs sold this year, Mitsubishi introduces 2014 model

Tue, Jun 10 2014

Late last year, Mitsubishi said the Mitsubishi i-MiEV would get a solid price drop down to $22,995 (before destination and fees). Along with the lower digits, the car is getting a bit of a content bump to make the cheapest EV in the US an even better deal. After skipping the 2013 model year, new 2014 model year vehicles are now rolling out to Mitsubishi dealers in the US. We'll see if the new model helps increase sales. In 2013, Mitsubishi sold 1,029 copies of the i which was almost twice as much as it did in 2012 (588). So far in 2014, just 75 i-MiEVs have been sold, 35 of which were in May. So far in 2014, just 75 i-MiEVs have been sold, 35 in May. There is only one trim line for the new i-MiEV and it now comes with heaps more standard equipment than it used to. Things like a CHAdeMO DC quick charge port, heated front seats and a leather steering wheel came with the announcement of a $6,130 price drop last December. Read more about the new standard equipment here. New optional equipment includes a LED Illumination Package and a USB iPod adapter kit. Some things remain the same, like the 16-kWh lithium-ion battery that offers an official range of 62 miles. Mitsubishi takes pains to also include the EPA LA4 cycle range of 98 miles, just to show that 62 miles is not all you're going to get from the electric jellybean. Who wants one?

Even Consumer Reports is savaging the Mitsubishi Mirage

Tue, 24 Jun 2014

When we reviewed the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage a few months ago, we absolutely hated it. Our conclusion was that if you needed a car in this segment to either pay a few hundred dollars more for a Chevy Spark or spend less for an entry-level Nissan Versa. Basically, avoid this Mitsubishi at all costs. It turns out that we weren't the only ones who despised it. Consumer Reports can often find something positive about just about any vehicle, but even the usually gentle publication struggles to find compliments when it comes to the Mirage.
It's most serious gripe concerns the model's handling. CR describes the way that the Mirage wallows around turns with tons of body lean even at low speeds as "scary." A little car with a curb weight of 2,051 pounds just shouldn't corner this poorly.
While Consumer Reports definitely has no love when it comes to the 2014 Mirage, finding something to dislike about practically every aspect of the vehicle from its powertrain to the interior, the reviewers do end up digging out one positive aspect. You'll have to scroll down and watch the video to find out what it is.
