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.

Mitsubishi struggling to sell doomed plant due to union workers

Sat, Oct 3 2015

Mitsubishi is about to end vehicle production in the US, but the company is having serious problems finding a buyer for its Normal, IL, factory that currently assembles the Outlander Sport. A major sticking point, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal, is the plant's workforce of over 900 United Auto Workers members. The automaker has been trying to find another company to take over the site for months and has set November as the point to stop manufacturing there. The Normal, IL, factory is unique because it's the only plant in the country that's run by a Japanese automaker with a UAW-represented workforce, after starting as a joint venture with Chrysler. That makes Ford, General Motors, and FCA the preferred buyers because they could conceivably take over the union contract. However, the Blue Oval and the General likely aren't interested. According to plant officials speaking to The Wall Street Journal, FCA and some unnamed car companies are potential buyers, but there's absolutely nothing final, yet. Proponents argue that buying the location is cheaper than building a new one. Making matters harder is that the UAW and Mitsubishi are currently negotiating a new union contract, and the factory's next owner might have to take over the deal, according to the WSJ. The workers were ready to vote whether to strike recently, but that was averted when an announcement on the local's webpage said a tentative agreement was expected Sunday. Of course, the Big Three have been experiencing their own, similar issues with crafting deals, too. Related Video:

Long-serving Mitsubishi president Masuko to step aside

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

Long-struggling Mitsubishi Motors is reportedly preparing for a changing of the guard at home. According to Reuters, Osamu Masuko will step aside in favor of Tesuro Aikawa, currently the company's managing director. Masuko won't be leaving the fold entirely, however - he will take the role of chairman, displacing Takashi Nishioka, who will resign. The shakeup has not been confirmed by Mitsubishi, but word is that the changes will take effect April 1.
Mitsu's US troubles are no secret, but the brand's struggles in its home market haven't been quite so publicized. The company was bailed out by other arms of the Mitsubishi empire, and it just raised $2 billion this month to buy back preferred shares that were issued during the bailout. Masuko served as president for nearly ten years, during which the brand's US efforts utterly stalled out, recalls cropped up in Japan and an alliance with Daimler (which was DaimlerChrysler at the time) disintegrated.
According to Reuters, establishing the kind of alliances that will allow the brand to grow, such as its tie-up with Renault-Nissan, are key to Mitsu's long-term success. The thought is that an alliance will allow the brand to come up with some innovative models that won't be compromised by its lack of production scale. It looks like Aikawa has his work cut out for him.

Mitsubishi pondering $2B share sale?

Sun, 15 Sep 2013

Mitsubishi makes the brilliantly fast, wonderfully fun Lancer Evolution. Outside of that road-going rally car, the rest of the range is pretty poor - the new Outlander isn't bad, but the subcompact Mirage looks like might've been competitive five years ago, while the Galant and Lancer have suffered from serial neglect.
This hasn't just lead to rumors of Mitsu's death in America; the subsidiary of the massive Mitsubishi Group has been in trouble at home, too. It was bailed out by three other Mitsubishi Group companies - Mitsubishi UFJ Financial, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Corporation - between 2004 and 2005, according to Bloomberg. Now, it's attempting to extricate itself from "emergency mode," as analyst Koichi Sugimoto told the financial site, adding that "they're still in the very early stages of recovery."
As part of the bailout, Mitsubishi issued its three saviors billions of dollars of preferred shares, which don't have voting rights. The problem is, Mitsubishi hasn't issued dividend payments since 1998, and these stocks aren't exactly competing with Apple or Google, in terms of value. In other words, they're mostly worthless. With a public offering, Mitsubishi is expecting to raise 200 billion yen, or about $2 billion, in order to reduce the number of preferred shares. If all goes according to plan, it will wipe out preferred shares by March of 2014, or the end of fiscal year 2013.
