You are looking at a well maintained, great example of the very capable Mitsubishi Montero Limited SUV. Sorry about the dark pictures - cloudy day and dusk - will plan to re-take and re-post better pictures this weekend. This truck is excellent in the snow and very capable off-road (never taken off-roading/trails though). It's lived it's entire life as a daily driver for my wife - who just bought a new car. It has a fold down rear seat that allows seating for 7 - when not needed, it folds down to maximize cargo space in the back. It has rear ac/heat, reclining split rear bench so it literally reclines down to a bed.  Wood trim (no cracks), upgraded stereo unit. Heated seats, cruise, power everything. It's the top of the line model. It's served us exceedingly well for the 12 years we've owned it - and helped us raise and haul around 4 kids. Now that 2 are in college, wife is downgrading to a smaller car - so this truck can provide many more years of excellent service to the new owner. THIS IS A ONE OWNER, GARAGE KEPT CAR!!

Mechanically: perfect. Just had a major repair done to replace steering rack. Regular maintenance performed consistently. Engine hums like new. Previously, all maintenance has been handled by a professional shop that specializes and Japanese and European cars. Solid V6 engine is the perfect combination of pep/power and fuel economy - without sacrificing seating capacity and or maneuverability. Feels sporty and tough, but luxurious and plush at the same time.

Exterior: no dents, dings on the outside. Normal minor flaws (rock knicks/small scrapes on bumper) as expected in a 12 year old car. In fact, the body condition is closer to what you'd expect to find in a 5 year old car. 

Interior: almost flawless, except for a very small tear in the side of the drivers seat from regular wear (have to point it out to notice - will post a close up picture). Power everything - all accessories working.

In short: this car is solid and has many many years and miles left to live. We've loved this car - and it shows. It's been meticulously maintained and kept. Hate to see it go, but we just don't have the room - or need for it anymore. You will not be disappointed. Prospective buyers are encouraged to come see it for yourself if possible. Test drives and inspections are welcomed and encouraged.

Car is for sale locally - seller reserves the right to cancel the auction early in the event of a private/local sale. Please feel free to ask questions before bidding!

Thanks for your interest - and good luck!

Renault delays decision on merger with Fiat Chrysler

Wed, Jun 5 2019

PARIS — Renault has delayed a decision on whether to merge with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, a deal that could reshape the global auto industry as carmakers race to make electric and autonomous vehicles for the masses. The deal still looks likely, but faced new criticism Tuesday from Renault's leading union and questions from its Japanese alliance partner Nissan. The French government is also putting conditions on the deal, including job guarantees and an operational headquarters based in France. The French carmaker's board will meet again at the end of the day Wednesday to "continue to study with interest" last week's merger proposal from FCA, Renault said in a statement. A Renault board meeting Tuesday to study the deal was inconclusive. The company didn't explain why, but a French government official said board members don't want to rush into a deal and are seeking agreement on all parts of the potential merger. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government policy, told The Associated Press the conditions outlined by France's finance minister still "need to be met." France and Italy are both painting themselves as winners in the deal, which could save both companies 5 billion euros ($5.6 billion) a year. But workers worry a merger could lead to job losses, and analysts warn it could bog down in the challenges of managing such a hulking company across multiple countries. And a possible loser is Japan's Nissan, whose once-mighty alliance with Renault and Mitsubishi is on the rocks since star CEO Carlos Ghosn's arrest in November. Nissan CEO Hiroto Saikawa cast doubt Tuesday on whether his company will be involved in a Renault-Fiat Chrysler merger — and suggested adding Fiat Chrysler to the looser Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance instead. Saikawa said in a statement that the Renault-Fiat Chrysler deal would "significantly alter" the structure of Nissan's longtime partnership with Renault, and Nissan would analyze its contractual relationships to protect the company's interests. If Renault's board says "yes" to Fiat Chrysler, that would open the way for a non-binding memorandum of understanding to start exclusive merger negotiations. The ensuing process — including consultations with unions, the French government, antitrust authorities and other regulators — would take about a year. A merger would create the world's third-biggest automaker, worth almost $40 billion and producing some 8.7 million vehicles a year.

Mitsubishi wants to bring a plug-in hybrid Montero to the US

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

As Mitsubishi's turnaround takes hold, we can talk less about the company's survival in the US market and more about what kinds of products we might see in the future: there's a hybrid Evo on the way and its joint venture with Renault-Nissan will deliver a C-segment sedan. Furthermore, it might even deliver a dividend to its shareholders next year.
In addition to Mitsubishi announcing its intent to focus on SUVs, pickup trucks and crossovers, company president Osamu Masuko gave an interview to Automotive News saying that the plan is for model lines to have two or three power train options: gas, plug-in hybrid, diesel. Believing that fuel economy standards will force the expansion of the plug-in hybrid market, Masuko wants to bring a PHEV Pajero to the US (the Montero in our market) because it will restore the brand's place in the full-size SUV segment with a well known nameplate, and help the company reach its goal of making PHEVs 20 percent of its product offering.
We love the idea of a new Montero - and we hope there's a traditional gas model that would come with the PHEV - the question is what would it look like? The Concept GC-PHEV we saw at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show could offer clues, but with Masuko listing the SUV as the company's second most popular model behind pickups, how daring could designers get with it? On the other hand, if you compare the Concept PX-MiEV shown at Tokyo in 2011, the similarity to the production Outlander is more than one might expect for a crossover that's become a major seller for the brand. With an introduction due in 2015 or 2016, we shouldn't have to wait long to find out. Regrettably, there's still no word on the return of a Mitsubishi pickup truck.

Junkyard Gem: 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante LS

Tue, Jul 17 2018

While Chrysler started selling Dodge- and Plymouth-badged Mitsubishis in the United States starting with the 1971 model year, Americans couldn't buy new cars with the Mitsubishi name until 1983. Thirty-five years later, Mitsubishi is down to just four models on these shores, all of which cater to the lower end of the market. However, from 1992 through 2004, Mitsubishi tackled the luxury market with its Diamante big sedan. Here's a very rare second-to-last-model-year Diamante, spotted in a Denver-area wrecking yard. I have documented plenty of Mitsubishis during my junkyard explorations, but these late Diamantes have been tough to find (though I have spotted a Diamante wagon). Sales of this car weren't great given that Mitsubishi's name didn't exactly resonate with luxury shoppers. Not when there was a Lexus ES around that did the same thing with a proper premium badge and brand. Second-generation Diamantes sold outside of Japan were built in Australia. Mitsubishi got its money's worth with the 6G7 series of V6 engines, starting with the 1986 Galant and continuing in trucks to the present day. Endless Chryslers of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s also received 6G72 power. This car has the DOHC 3.5-liter 6G74 version, rated at 205 horsepower. The interior is pretty nice, in its turn-of-the-21st-century manner, and the fact that this car has an ignition key means that it's probably an insurance total or a dealership trade-in. The nose shows evidence of a fender-bender, and that's enough to doom a forgotten luxury car like this. Next stop: The Crusher.
