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!

Japan readying first stealth fighter for 2016 test

Thu, Dec 3 2015

This 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.

2019 Tokyo Auto Salon features one of the coolest auctions we've seen

Thu, Jan 3 2019

In just over a week, the Tokyo Auto Salon will host one of the coolest auctions we've seen in years. Jalopnik spotted BH Auction's listings, and it's a cornucopia of hot machinery you won't typically find at American auctions like Gooding & Company or Barrett Jackson. While Japanese cars make up most of the listings, Ferrari, Porsche, BMW and even Dodge all have at least one car going up for auction. We won't include everything here, but you can check out the full list on BH Auction's website. There are 50 lots at the auction, including nine Nissan Skylines, nine Ferraris and two Porsche Carrera GTs. Some of our other favorites include a Honda S800 coupe, a Toyota Miniace truck, a Mitsubishi Willys Jeep and a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL gullwing with the V8 from a W124 Mercedes-Benz E60 AMG that's estimated to sell for between $1.25 million and $1.5 million.

Automakers want to stop the EPA's fuel economy rules change, and why that's a shortsighted move

Tue, Dec 6 2016

With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.
