The word RARE is way overused in the automobile re-sale market. To the point, it's almost rare not to see the word. This car was imported by Mitsubishi from 83-89. Only 10,655 produced in 1988. (all markets, all models) In 1987-89 they came to the US with the wide body (AKA fatty / flared fenders) and inter-cooled turbo. The 2.6L IC turbo engine produced 197 HP. with 220 lb ft of torque in a 2,700 lb car. An automatic transmission was not common in this car either.  This is a true survivor. I bought this from a friend of mine 4 years ago. It was sitting in her garage. (51 year old woman) in S. Arizona. She bought it new in Florida and moved it out here many years ago. It has the original Leather interior still in great shape. Everything is stock!!!! Radio and all. No cuts or holes or cracks in the dash or anywhere. The exterior is all original including the wheels and paint. The front spoiler has a break in it,(see pic) from a parking curb.  The only other visual issue is a few drops of battery fluid dropped on the left hid-a-way head light, otherwise in good shape. No dents no scratches. Now we might be approaching rare. If you don’t think so, try to find one on ebay or autotrader for sale!! Anywhere, Any year, any transmission, any condition.   The Transmission was rebuilt a few years ago, but has very few miles since. shifts very positive. The tires look new but are 5 or 6 years old. I've been driving it back and forth to work (9 miles one way) and makes a great commuter and decent mileage. No suspension parts have ever been changed but it still drives tight. Could probably use some shocks/struts and new tires for a better ride and fun factor. (rides like it has 25 year old shocks and bushings and 10 your old tires) is a little harsh right now) Engine starts easy, runs great and when the boost kicks in, it pulls great. Mitsubishi Starion has a race car pedigree. (SEE Wikipedia for more info) This car has independent rear suspension with rear wheel drive and 4 wheel disc brakes. Came factory with 205/55 - 16 tires on the front and 225/50 - 16 on the rear. This would make a great auto cross car and were popular as a tuners. The heater works good but the indication lights in the dash are intermittent.  If you have any questions please ask before bidding.

 The car is equipped with Air Conditioning. All the parts are in tact but clutch doesn't engage when turned on. Will require some work.

Mitsubishi Evo tagged with graffiti faster than you can say 'stop!'

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Maggie Stiefvater, professional artist and musician, New York Times best-selling author and Mitsubishi Evo owner. Because, as she writes, "In my latest novel, The Dream Thieves, a character drives a car that looks just like mine. Only there's a knife painted on the side of his," she decided to graffiti a knife on the side of hers.
And that's how you get the time-lapse video below of Stiefvater, a few aerosol cans and a lot of stencils enjoying a sunny day in the park.

$99/month EV lease deals still out there, in some places

Fri, Feb 7 2014

Has the electric-vehicle market really gotten to the point where folks can take out a lease for less than C-note per month? Yes, if you're interested in a Mitsubishi i of Smart ForTwo EV, Plug In Cars has found. As Mitsubishi prepares to bring in the 2015 model-year version of the i, it's unloading some of the 2013s for as little as $69 a month in some areas, bringing in a bit of deja vu for those who remember the $69 monthly lease rate some Mitsubishi dealers were asking for early last year. Meanwhile, a Smart EV can be had for $99 (discounted from $139 a month), with a $900 down payment, at at least one Connecticut dealership. Moving up to $139 a month could get you into a new Nissan Leaf, albeit with a honking' down payment of about $6,600. Chevrolet Spark EVs can be found in California and Oregon for as little as $199 a month. And both the Fiat 500e and Honda Fit EV can be found at some dealerships with lease rates in the mid-two-hundreds per month. The upper end of the plug-in scale - a Tesla Model S - still runs north of $1,000 a month (before you apply Tesla's various calculations to get to their "effective monthly cost"). But when you can afford to drive a Tesla, who's really counting?

Aggressive new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Concept-S coming to Paris

Tue, Sep 2 2014

Already a hit in the rest of the world, the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid is not coming to the US until late next year. That gives Mitsu plenty of time to upgrade the SUV to the next-generation model, and we might be getting a glimpse of what the US-speck Outlander PHEV will look like at the Paris Motor Show in early October. Take a look at the new "Sporty and Sophisticated" Outlander PHEV Concept-S that Mitsubishi is teasing in two dark images today. Mitsubishi says that what's being teased here is simply part of a "special package" that "magnifies the Outlander PHEV's unique driving experience." But, the last time Mitsubishi showed off an Outlander PHEV concept – at the 2012 Paris show – the production model ended up looking quite a bit like the show version. With aggressive lines all over the front fascia and bold strokes across the rear, the new concept certainly looks a lot better than the current model. We don't expect all of this auto show pizazz to make the final cut, but we like the direction that Mitsubishi is going here, extending the design language from the Outlander XR PHEV and GC-PHEV concepts from last year's Tokyo show. We should know more when we get to Paris on October 2nd. Until then, click on the images to get a better view and check out Mitsubishi's press release below. Mitsubishi Motors Europe issued the following news release at 6:00 pm on September 2, 2014. Paris, September 2, 2014 - Two years after it premiered its successful Outlander PHEV plug-in hybrid electric Twin Motor SUV/crossover at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) has elected the "Mondial de L'Automobile" again – this time to unveil another PHEV vehicle: Outlander PHEV Concept-S. Sporty & Sophisticated The Outlander PHEV Concept-S is a concept model MMC proposes as a special package of the Outlander PHEV production model that has a refined interior and exterior design that magnifies the Outlander PHEV's unique driving experience. The Outlander PHEV Concept-S takes "Sporty and Sophisticated" as the theme for its design. This refined design expresses the unique combination of spirited 4x4 performance from its twin-motor PHEV system, soothing silent running, and superior on-road performance.
