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!

Mechanic bagged by red light camera at 3AM driving customer car

Mon, Dec 8 2014

This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. An Oregon woman took her 2001 Mitsubishi Montero to Steve's Imports in Portland to have the emissions system fixed; the business, however, is a repair and body shop that doesn't appear to specialize in emissions. After paying $2,299.05 for the fix she got a call from the shop informing her that a repairman had been caught on camera running a red light, so she should expect a ticket. When the ticket came, the image with it was the one above, taken at 2:59 AM. The shop's owner, Steve Spinnett, said the man in the car is his son, Tommy Spinnett, who is the shop foreman. The woman is a "family friend" that Tommy was picking up from a concert. Steve told KVAL news that his son had the car all weekend to put it through a drive cycle, and that the shop doesn't charge for drive cycles done after hours. Even if all of that is true, drive cycles don't take a whole weekend - a thorough emissions-test drive cycle can be done in a couple of hours. And then there's this: the owner needed to pass the emissions test to get new license plates; the ones on the vehicle that Tommy drove over the weekend were expired. We've written about some egregious instances of customer abuse at the hands of dealership and repair shops, but this isn't one of them. But it looks bad and it's suspicious, and everyone involved might want to be more careful next time. You'll find more details on the incident in the video.

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV van variant coming to Europe

Thu, Aug 28 2014

Mitsubishi's Outlander Plug-in Hybrid SUV will be hitting our shores this fall. Across the Pond, however, it's heading into more no-nonsense territory. That's because the Japanese automaker is making a commercial van variant of the plug-in hybrid for the UK. Mitsubishi will start selling a model called the Outlander PHEV GX3h 4Work in the UK, Motoring Research says. Like the SUV, the model will pair a 2.0-liter gas engine with an electric motor and will have an all-electric range of 32 miles. The difference is that the back seats will be taken out and the glass will be blacked out. Hardcore, we say. The model will be priced at 36,905 British pounds (about $61,000), though buyers are eligible for a government grant worth 7,381 pounds ($12,200). Mitsubishi plans to start selling the Outlander PHEV stateside in Fall 2015. The company said earlier this summer that the US version will be substantially different from the current version, with updates for everything from exterior and interior styling to powertrain efficiency improvements. The model had some battery-melting issues last year in Japan, though Mitsubishi ramped up its production once those problems were solved. Mitsubishi representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment about the commercial-van variant from AutoblogGreen, but we expect to be hearing more about it soon.

Mitsubishi readying Outlander refresh

Sat, 02 Aug 2014

Mitsubishi has a big secret to keep under wraps when it comes to the looks of its refreshed Outlander crossover. Our spy shooters recently caught it testing in Germany, and the CUV had enough buckles, straps and snaps covering up the front end for the vehicle to fit in at an S&M party for cars. The rear was hidden just as thoroughly, too.
Given the areas that Mitsubishi's engineers are obscuring, it seems safe to assume that the Outlander is getting a heavily revised front end with redesigns for the grille, front bumper and possibly hood. The lights might be reshaped too, judging from these photos. The changes are just as hard to spot at the rear, but you can make out the shape of the taillights. They appear more rectangular than the current model, and the bumper looks more angular, as well.
This is likely our first glimpse of the of the major restyle for the Outlander that Mitsubishi execs told Autoblog about in July. The interior is also getting an update to improve interior material quality, we were told. The revisions are supposed to coincide with the launch of the PHEV model in the US at roughly the same time.
