2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse Gs Coupe 2-door 2.4l on 2040-cars
Stone Mountain, Georgia, United States
For sale – 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS with less than 82,500 miles! This car is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, 4 cylinder engine, motorized glass retractable sunroof, and Infinity sound system. I am the second owner, and have all major maintenance records on the car since it was new. It has always been very well maintained. I am asking $4,300 OBO. The tires have about 2,000-3,000 miles or so until they will need replacement, but if you make a full-price offer I will include new tires and even cover the cost of their installation – all you will have to do is schedule an appointment with the shop to have them installed at your convenience. I have included just about everything I can think of relating to this car below. If you are interested, don't hesitate to get in touch.
MECHANICAL This car has been impeccably maintained its entire life. It runs great, starts every time, and leaks absolutely no fluids. It does not burn oil. The clutch engages and disengages properly. The transmission shifts smoothly without grinding between gears. In short, this car should not require anything aside from tires for quite a while. The car has never left me stranded in the 20,000 miles I have driven it, and is about as reliable as you can get. That kind of peace of mind can be hard to find in this price range. All available maintenance records will be provided to the new owner, but here are some of the highlights: --I just installed new front brake pads and rotors within the last 100 miles. --Oil was changed about 2,400 miles ago. The car will be due for its next oil change in 2,600 miles. To my knowledge, oil has always been changed at least every 5,000 miles, often more frequently than that. --Manual transmission fluid was replaced about 12,000 miles ago. --Spark plugs, plug-on-coils, and wires were replaced about 12,000 miles ago with long-life spark plugs. --Battery was replaced about 12,000 miles ago in summer 2013. --O2 sensor was replaced about 12,000 miles ago. --Timing belt was replaced about 26,000 miles ago and therefore should not require servicing again for at least 34,000+ miles. --AC blows cold. --As mentioned above, the tires will need replacement within the next couple thousand miles and I will cover this cost with a full-price offer. COSMETIC AND INTERIOR The car is 11 years old, so naturally it has acquired some “character.” The car has never been in a major accident or sustained unibody/frame damage to my knowledge. The worst that has occurred is that sadly I hit a dog going about 25mph last summer and that caused some subtle dimpling and deformity of the bumper on the left-front side. The car also has a dent about 1.5” x 3” on the left-front quarter panel that had magically appeared when I returned to the car in a parking lot. The radio loads and plays CDs but sometimes has difficulty ejecting CDs all the way. The driver’s side has what appears to be a small cigarette burn in the seat. By the way, the car in no way smells like it had been a smoker’s car, which is why I always wondered about that mark on the seat (it was there when I bought it). The dash plastic is cracked in a couple of places. Other than that there are just a few minor run-of-the-mill door ding type things here and there; nothing obvious or out of the ordinary. The paint is in pretty good shape, with the exception of the front bumper which is not too bad but on close inspection the clear coat seems to be flaking a bit. There are no cracks or chips in the glass. The interior is clean and free of foul odors. I think that about covers everything. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or want to come take a look at the car. |

Mitsubishi Mirage will launch in US with three-cylinder engine [w/video]
Wed, 26 Dec 2012We have a date with Mitsubishi Mirage (again). The Japanese subcompact is slated to arrive on our shores in September 2013, and it's one of the product offerings meant to help Mitsubishi's US arm raise sales in its next financial year from 55,000 to 80,000. If next year were 1989, we'd say there's no reason that couldn't happen, but from what we've seen, the Mirage is so magnificently meek (have you seen the interior?) that we aren't sure how it will manage that kind of US sales aggression in the 21st century.
Continuing that theme, Car and Driver reports that the Mitsu will launch here with a 1.2-liter, three-cylinder engine. Make no mistake, this is a very popular engine in the Mirage and responsible for its excellent fuel economy. The hatch is doing so well in other markets with its two naturally aspirated tri-cylinders that the Thailand facility that builds the Mirage will have its capacity increased by 33 percent to try and meet demand. In European spec, the 845-kilogram (1,859 pounds) subcompact with the more powerful engine offering 79 horsepower and 78 pound-feet of torque gets 57.3 miles per US gallon and takes 11.7 seconds to get from zero to 62 miles per hour. The question is whether Mitsubishi will boost the output of that engine for our market. If not, only the 70-hp Smart ForTwo will have less horsepower - but the Mirage, interestingly enough, weighs about the same as the microcar.
On its UK site, Mitsubishi said the reveal of the Mirage in back 2011 meant "redefining the standards by which to judge a compact passenger car." We can't wait to find out if that's still true and what that means when it gets here. To prepare yourself, there's video of the Mirage in action below.
Mitsubishi expects to sell only 4,000 Outlander PHEVs in first year in US
Thu, Feb 12 2015First, it was late 2013 or early 2014. Then it was the fall of 2014. And then it was "roughly" April 2016. Now we can strike "roughly" from the record: the Outlander Plug-In Hybrid will finally arrive in the US in April 2016. Alex Fedorak, public relations manager, Mitsubishi Motors North America, told AutoblogGreen that the company is now "confident in that date." The various delays that held up the SUV this far – including battery shortages, deciding to make the PHEV in the US the refreshed version and better-than-expected sales in Europe and Japan – have worked their way through the system, he said. "The issue was battery capacity, and the vehicle sold far better in Europe than anyone anticipated. It just takes time to build the battery. You got to buy raw materials and rethink the whole process. We're confident that it's going to be next spring." As for where the Outlander will go on sale in the US Fedorak said he did not know the initial markets for, but said it was likely the plug-in SUV would mimic the roll-out of the i-MiEV, which is now available in most states. Even with the Outlander PHEV's success overseas, the company does not expect it to be a big seller here. "It's not going to be big percentage of Outlander sales [in the US]," Fedorak said. "Our expectations are in the single-digit percentage of the total Outlander sales. It's just going to be a technology showcase for us, and we'll see what happens. If it takes off for us like it did in Europe, it'll be good news for the brand." Last year, Mistubishi sold 31,054 Outlander Sports and 13,068 Outlanders in the US. That means Mitsubishi expects to sell a maximum of 3,970 Outlander PHEVs (nine percent of 44,122 total Outlander sales) in the plug-in's first year on sale in the US. Fedorak said he doesn't think there are any specific regulatory issues that need to be solved to bring the Outlander PHEV here. Things like EPA certification and crash testing still need to be done, he said, but that's just part of the normal process now. Fedorak said he thinks there is no difference in the plug-in powertrain from the current version sold in Europe and Japan and the version that will come to the US. But the rest of the 2016 Outlander will be "much more than a facelift," he said (something we've heard before). "It's a total rethink of the chassis and the tuning of the vehicle. The NVH of the vehicle, too."Related Video:
Japan readying first stealth fighter for 2016 test
Thu, Dec 3 2015This post is appearing on Autoblog Military, Autoblog's sub-site dedicated to the vehicles, aircraft and ships of the world's armed forces. The nation of Japan is somewhat unique in terms of the world's militaries. Following its loss in World War II, the country was stripped of its ability to wage war, and its military was reestablished nearly a decade later not as an aggressive force but as a self-defense force. Today, the Japanese constitution forbids the country from maintaining anything but its Ground, Maritime, and Air Self-Defense Forces. Since Prime Minister Shinzo Abe first took office in September 2006 and continuing in his second term, which began in late 2012, Japan's military has seen something of a renaissance. Earlier this year, the country's legislature officially approved a new law that allowed Japan to use its military in international conflicts, even if there's no direct threat to the Home Islands. And even earlier still, Japan announced a desire to increase its drone capability. Now, like the US, Russia, and China, the country is preparing its own stealth fighter. Slated to take to the skies for its maiden flight in early 2016, the Advanced Technology Demonstrator X is a Mitsubishi-built plane that looks like the lovechild of an F-22 Raptor, an F-16 Falcon, and an F/A-18 Hornet. According to the attached video from Bloomberg, the ATD-X carries all the stealth fighter hallmarks. Its shape is designed to minimize its radar cross-section, while the body is coated in radar-absorbent material. And of course, the weapons systems are stored within underbelly bays. But why is Japan even testing it, especially when you consider the company placed an order for 42 F-35 Lightning IIs way back in 2011? Well, for one, it's going to be a lot more affordable than the F-35, which is the single most expensive weapons platform in human history. Where individual F-35s cost around $100 million, depending on what source you're looking at, Bloomberg reports that the ATD-X could be developed for just $324 million. Even if there are some utterly absurd cost overruns and the per-unit cost is closer to astronomical than affordable, putting together a fleet of production ATD-X's is probably going to be cheaper overall. You can hear more about why Japan is considering the ATD-X in the video down below. Check it out.
