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!

Mitsubishi and Renault-Nissan expand partnership, US will get new sedan

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Mitsubishi and Renault-Nissan have just inked an alliance that might, hopefully, reverse the ailing fortunes of the Mitsubishi brand in the US market. The big chunk of news is that Mitsubishi will produce two Renualt-based models for sale in the US market, and that they'll be built at the Renault-Samsung factory in Busan, South Korea.
The plans call for a D-segment sedan to be followed by a C-segment offering. Based on the cars built at the Busan factory, that means Mitsubishi will be getting the SM5 and the SM3, a pair of handsome sedans that are based on Renault-Nissan's D and C platforms, respectively. These same platforms underpin a number of US market Nissans (not to mention a number of cars from Renault), namely the Pathfinder, Maxima, Quest and Murano for the D platform and the last-generation Rogue and Sentra for the C platform.
Besides the sedan production, Nissan and Mitsubishi will be expanding their joint-venture company, NMKV, which produces Kei cars for the Japanese market. A new, all-electric offering will be born from the partnership, likely based on a Kei car platform. The partnership between the three brands will also lead to increased sharing of technology, particularly relating to electric cars.

Camaro Z/28 and Mitsubishi Starion meet in this nostalgic vision of '87 Japan

Fri, 22 Aug 2014

The '80s is just far enough away now that it no longer seems like an era defined by Reagonomics and neon clothing. Filmmaker Matt Clark has embraced the look of the music videos of the decade in his new short film titled Orange Orchid, set in 1987 in Chiba and Yokohama, Japan. The video features some great sports coupes of the time and is set to the song I Know There's Something Going On from Abba-alum Frida (along with drumming and backup vocals from Phil Collins).
Clark really embraces the pop-culture look of the era's videos with big hair, a healthy dash of neon, inexplicable smoky rooms and big, over-wrought movements. However, the real stars for us are the pair of '80s sports coupes that also kind of personify the main characters. Nijo in her denim jacket has a modded Camaro Z/28 with huge, dished wheels sticking way out past the fenders. Naturally, the Chevy also features some great butterscotch paint and a car phone inside. Alex, the guy pursuing her, forgoes any obvious upgrades in favor a clean, all-white Mitsubishi Starion to go along with his tailored suit and giant cell phone.
We wish this video featured the cars a bit more prominently, but that drumbeat from Collins on this forgotten 80s gem is pretty fantastic, too. Give it a listen in the video.

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota Prius, V earn IIHS awards, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV approved for V2H

Tue, Dec 30 2014

The Toyota Prius and Prius V have earned IIHS 2015 Top Safety Pick+ ratings. The Prius V was singled out for its improved performance in the small overlap crash test. Lexus CT models built after September 2014 were also given the distinguished safety rating. In all, eight vehicles from Toyota and Lexus earned Top Safety Pick+ awards, while four more from Toyota and Scion were named Top Safety Picks. Read more in the press release below. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV can now provide power to the home in Japan. The vehicle-to-home capability requires the CHAdeMO quick charging socket and either Mitsubishi's own Smart V2H system, or the EVPower Station or Tsubaki eLINK system. The Outlander PHEV gained vehicle-to-home approval alongside all-electric vehicles because its electric motor doesn't run when used in for this purpose. The system allows owners to power their homes during outages and emergencies, and the Outlander PHEV can also directly power appliances with its 1500W AC100V power feeder. Read more at Green Car Congress. The Electric Vehicle Institute has published an updated "Plug-In Around the EV World" poster. The poster depicts the various connector types used by EVs. It shows the standard AC connectors for the US and Europe, DC and combination connectors for fast charging and, of course, Tesla's own charging connector for the Model S. It also shows the standard plug types used around the world, which are color coded by country on a world map. See the Electric Vehicle Institute's poster here, or read more at Green Car Reports.
