Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"It is in excellent running condition without any known internal issues, and none of the following defects impact its performance. This car was bought used, so I do not have any info on the listed accident for it, but I can say with certainty that any issues it caused back in 2003 have long since been fixed. The back windows aren't quite flush with the seal of the door, but this is only noticed when going faster than 60 mph, wherein the wind creates some minor whistling against them, which is what the reported frame issue is. The front bumper has a handful of small cracks and scuffs from being backed into, but not enough to compromise the bumper's safety purpose or really to make much of an aesthetic difference. The few other external cosmetic blemishes are just faint scratches from normal wear and tear and only noticeable up close. The leather on the bottom part of the driver's seat has some light cracking in it on the left side from use."

Don't miss out on a great vehicle like this!


Even without taking its age into consideration, this car is in fantastic condition.  The transmission was very recently checked for maintenance, without any problems being found, and it runs beautifully.  Beyond the few cracks in the front bumper, the only noticeable flaws in the exterior are one thin scratch a few inches long on the right side and some very minor scuffing at the very bottom of the back bumper.  Everywhere else is shiny and looks just about brand new, especially with the fresh paint job it received about a year ago.  A repair shop it was taken to for a check-up failed to close the hood all the way, and when it was driven onto the highway, it flew up and smashed the windshield, which means to avoid a lawsuit, the shop replaced both it and the hood and gave it that paint job, so you can also be sure that the windshield won't be prone to stress or failures any time soon.

This car is packed with tons of awesome features that you'll be sure to appreciate.  For when it's cold, there are heated front seats with a low and high setting for each, and for when it's hot, there is fully working air conditioning that gets nice and frigid in a matter of minutes even when it's 90+ degrees outside.  It also has cup-holders, a working radio, and CD player, as well as several lighter plug-ins for phone chargers or iPod players.  And in addition to all of the other great extras listed above, it has a very loud alarm system, so you can feel safe leaving it parked somewhere.  But if you set if off by accident, it's easy to deactivate with the key.

There wasn't a remote for this car when it was purchased, which means I unfortunately won't be able to include one, but there is a release for the trunk on the driver's side door, so you won't have to use the key to get it open.  Before it is sold, it will be getting an oil change and a thorough interior cleaning (though I keep it clean anyway).  The only reason I am selling this car is because I am moving to a big city, and it will be more cost effective for me to simply use the available public transport systems.  Otherwise, I'd be keeping it.  

Since I am not a dealer, the sale will be final.  Any assessments stated here are my own observations and honest opinions, not those of a professional.  The car will be available to pick up either in Bowling Green, KY or Nashville, TN depending on when it gets sold and/or per buyer's request.  I would also be willing to ship it so long as the buyer paid the shipping costs.  If you live in the area and would like to schedule a time to view the car before it is purchased, feel free to contact me.

Ghosn's legacy: one of the auto industry's most effective execs

Wed, Nov 21 2018

"Bob Lutz ... estimated that carrying out the Nissan operation would be the equivalent, for Renault, of putting $5 billion in a container ship and sinking it in the middle of the ocean." So wrote Carlos Ghosn in "SHIFT: Inside Nissan's Historic Revival," which was published in the U.S. in late 2004. Two points about that observation: It is in keeping with Lutz's "Often wrong but never in doubt." It shows that Ghosn is a remarkable executive, given that he was able to take Nissan from the edge of financial oblivion to one of the foremost automotive companies (although with alliance partners Renault and, more recently, Mitsubishi). In 1999, Ghosn created what was named the "Nissan Revival Plan." It could have just as well been called the "Nissan Resuscitation Plan." Things were that bad. Now Ghosn is in the midst of legal trouble, accused of financial improprieties of some sort. There is no indication that this is at anything near the scale of what happened at Volkswagen Group. There's malfeasance. And then there's malfeasance. It is likely that this is going to be the end of Ghosn's career, but at age 64, and as a man who has spent nearly the past quarter-century essentially on airplanes, it is probably a good time to leave the stage. What his next act will be — to court or even prison — is an open question. But arguably, Ghosn's performance in the transformation of Nissan and Renault, which also needed some strong medicine to keep it from collapse in the early '00s (although one suspects that the French government would have done its damnedest to keep it propped up), makes him one of the all-time most-notable executives in the auto industry. Ghosn closed plants in both France and Japan and he worked to dismantle the Nissan keiretsu network of interlocked companies, things that were absolutely unthinkable. He established plans with stretch goals in their titles, like the "20 Billion Franc Cost-Reduction Plan," and worked with his people to achieve them, despite the pushback that seemed to come along with the announcement of the plan. As in, as he recalled in SHIFT, "Some people said, 'He's off the deep end. He's raving mad. Doesn't he know that at Renault you set the most conservative goals possible so you can be certain to reach them?' My answer to that sort of thinking was 'You're going to get what you ask for. If you set the bar too low, you'll be a low-level performance.

2016 Mitsubishi Lancer adds features, loses Ralliart

Wed, Sep 30 2015

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution may be going away, but the base car is sticking around for the foreseeable future, as evidenced by a host of changes for the 2016 model year. The same basic look has been updated with a bolder front bumper that features vertical LED accents. The rear end, though, looks totally free of any significant changes. The profile gets some small updates, including mirrors with integrated turn signals and a flashy (optional) set of 18-inch wheels. The Lancer's cabin gets a similarly modest array of upgrades, including standard USB connectivity in a redesigned center console, standard display audio, and a redesigned, optional infotainment system. In addition to the new standard features Mitsu will offer a color LCD display in the instrument cluster, the LED running lights, and automatic air conditioning on the base ES trim. Mechanically, Mitsubishi has expanded the availability of its snappy All-Wheel Control all-wheel-drive system. Not only will it be offered on as standard on the carried-over SE and new SEL trim, but it can be snagged as an option on the base ES trim. All AWD-equipped cars will feature the same CVT8 offered on the Outlander Sport and Outlander, although front-drive trims, the base ES, and the more aggressively styled GT, will offer a five-speed manual as standard. Despite the new CVT, the engine lineup is unchanged for 2016, with the base ES using a 2.0-liter, 148-hp four-cylinder, while all other trims get a more robust, 168-hp, 2.4-liter mill. And now, the bad news. Just as there will be no more Lancer Evolution, Mitsubishi has dropped the lukewarm Lancer Ralliart. Slotting in between the Evo and the Lancer GT, the Ralliart offered all-wheel-drive, turbocharged power, and the Evo's dual-clutch transmission, along with a dose of its big brother's style. Prices get a tiny bump for 2016, with the Lancer's base price jumping up $200, to $18,405. Adding a CVT increases the price by $1,000, while all-wheel drive requires another $400. The AWD-only SE starts at $21,805, while the SEL demands another $1,000. Finally, the top-end GT starts at $23,305 for a five-speed stick, or $24,305 for the CVT model. Read on for the official press release from Mitsubishi, and be sure to check out the updated Lancer in the gallery, up top.

Mitsubishi scores record global operating profits

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

In the minds of many auto enthusiasts, Mitsubishi has become an afterthought. It has transformed from a company known for its turbocharged, all-wheel-drive rally machines into an automaker with a very boring lineup. Maybe we are being unfair, though. While the company doesn't have much of a performance presence anymore, the Japanese brand is doing quite well financially.
According to Reuters, Mitsubishi Motors had an operating profit of 123.4 billion yen ($1.2 billion) worldwide for the fiscal year that ended in March. That's twice as much as last year and a new all-time record for the Japanese automaker. It's even paying dividends to investors for the first time in 16 years, and its expected profit of 135 billion yen ($1.3 billion) in the new fiscal year matches a goal it had set for itself to achieve two years from now.
The automaker currently focuses much of its efforts on Southeast Asia, which accounts for about a quarter of its sales. It will put even greater attention there in the coming years with more local production, according to Reuters.
