This car has been well-cared. I have owned it for the last 10 years. It has had regular oil changes and was recently professionally detailed.

However, because the car is 16 years old, there are some blemishes:

Missing the covers to the mirror adjustors. They work great, just missing the cosmetic covers.

There is a small rust bubble above the left rear wheel. It is still covered by paint, but bubbles out a bit.

Small crack on rear bumper. Has been there since I owned it. Previous owner backed it into something. Has no affect on the car at all.

Drivers side door lock does not work externally and the door has a hitch. The door DOES lock and can be opened from the outside with the handle, but when manually unlocking the door, the key does not work on the driver's side. It works perfect from the passenger side though. Mechanic said it is lock issue and can be fixed. I just haven't done it yet.

There are a lot of really good things about the car as well .

It gets 30-35 mpg and has BRAND NEW front tires and hardly used rear tires. Grey cloth interior with really nice black dash interior in excellent condition.

After factory Alpine speakers and cd player all wired for XM or Sirius Satellite Radio....premium sound quality with a rear spoiler and moon roof.

No shipping will be arranged by the seller, and winning bidder is responsible for coming and taking possession of the vehicle in person. Everything works great, and ready for you to drive home in!

Lastly, we have a carfax for this car.

VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA--I will not ship. If you want the car shipped, you will have to arrange that yourself.

Buyer pays with PayPal or by cash in person. Buyer needs to contact this seller with notification right after end of auction, as to exactly when buyer has intention to make payments as required per this auction. Due to the high volume of non-paying buyers with a (positive) feedback score below 10, buyers with a feedback score of 10 or less MUST contact me prior to placing a bid, or the bid will be canceled. If you don’t plan on paying for this, then please do not bid on this vehicle.

If you would need to fly in to pick the car up, I will be very happy to pick you up at any Washington, D.C. airports, so that you could drive the vehicle back home, no extra charge!

Also, please contact me via Ebay if you are in the local area and would like to arrange a test drive.

This car has been great to me, and I would like to see it go to someone who will have as much fun with it as I did.

Junkyard Gem: 2006 Mitsubishi Raider

Sat, May 2 2020

When I'm scouring the rows of a big, fast-inventory-turnover vehicle boneyard for fascinating examples of automotive history, I keep strange examples of badge engineering at the top of my shopping list. Subarus with Saab emblems, Isuzus with Acura emblems, Hyundais with Mitsubishi emblems, Austins with Nash emblems, Mazdas with Mercury emblems, all the vehicles that sprang into existence because Carmaker A wanted to fill a vacant slot in the showrooms and Carmaker B proved willing to offer a vehicle that fit that slot. While I have yet to unearth a discarded Suzuki Equator pickup, I've found this truck with a far more convoluted model-name history: a 2006 Mitsubishi Raider in Phoenix. Chrysler sold rebadged Mitsubishis over here for decades, beginning with the Dodge Colt in the 1971 model year. Trucks joined the mix in the middle 1970s, with the Plymouth Arrow and then the Dodge D-50/Ram 50 pickups. The Dodge-ized Mitsubishi pickups soon faced competition from their Mitsubishi-badged twins, in the form of the Mighty Max, and then Chrysler began selling first-generation Mitsubishi Monteros with Dodge badging. That truck became the Dodge Raider, available with "Imported for Dodge" emblems in North America for the 1987 through 1989 model years. Raider owners loved their tough little SUVs every bit as much as Montero owners loved theirs, and so the Raider name continued — decades later Â— to have positive connotations in the world of Dodge and Mitsubishi truck owners. So, when the American outpost of the Mitsubishi Empire needed a pickup to offer in their showrooms (the Mighty Max having been axed in 1996), they turned to their friends at Chrysler and the Dodge Dakota pickup. With some new bodywork and tough-looking Raider badges, the Dodge/Mitsubishi Raider circle had been closed. Raider sales began in 2005 for the 2006 model year. Sales numbers proved disappointing, and 2009 was the last year for the Raider. This one got crashed hard, then picked over for mechanical goodies by Dakota owners. You won't find many pickups this new with manual transmissions, but this one had one. The engine is long gone, but would have been an American Motors-developed 4.7-liter V8 or 3.7-liter V6.

With Dodge going murderously macho with their ads last decade, Mitsubishi had no choice but to follow that formula with the Raider. Related Video:

Mitsubishi HQ raided by the Japanese government

Fri, Sep 2 2016

Mitsubishi's fuel economy scandal continues to grow, and the Japanese government wants answers. According to Reuters, the Japanese Transport Ministry raided the company's headquarters and a factory in Nagoya today. This raid comes soon after the company revealed that a number of its SUVs were also being sold with incorrect fuel economy ratings. The Japanese government issued a stop-sale on those vehicles a few days ago. This raid also follows an internal investigation conducted by Mitsubishi to discover how this fuel economy scandal happened, and how the practices that led to it were able to continue for 25 years. The internal investigation revealed a few contributing factors that all fell under issues with the company's culture. There was significant pressure throughout the company to reach fuel economy targets and missing them wasn't readily accepted. Questioning decisions of management was also discouraged, and it seemed the different divisions of the company weren't working well together. The findings of this raid have yet to be revealed, but it will be interesting to see how they compare with those of the internal investigation. The Japanese Transport Ministry seems intent on preventing a repeat of this with another company considering that, according to Reuters, it "sent documents to other automakers to enforce compliance with rules for calculating mileage ."
