Hi, for sale is easily the best car I have ever owned.  It is a 2008 Evo X with 61,000 miles on it.  This car has been extremely well cared for with fluids changed and maintenance done regularly, parked in a finished garage, and never beat on, drag raced, or majorly modified in anyway.  The Evo is I believe the perfect combination of car traits, it's fast, handles amazing, and is responsive in everyway meanwhile it gets 25+ mpg on the highway, has room for 4+, and is comfortable enough for trips and everyday life.  I have falken eurowinter tires on it and have never felt safer driving a car in the snow.  The engine and drivetrain are smooth and operate like new.

Some features and minor mods include:
-apexi rs evo catback exhaust
-tein lowering springs
-carbon fiber SSS style rear wing
-aluminum parking brake/razo weighted shift knob
-factory aux audio ports
-Ralliart black tail-lights
-a new ACD pump
-aluminum underbody tray (I also have stock plastic one)
-intake

Imperfections include (I'm very picky and believe in being as up front and honest as possible):
-car was in a less than 5 mph fender bender and instead of fixing the old bumper I fought to have Mitsubishi install an OEM new one without license plate wholes at the dealership (front end looks perfectly brand new and clean)
-could use new brake pads in the future
-small scratch on passenger rear quarter panel
-carbon fiber spoiler has small chip in resin
-hood scoop paint is peeling slightly

Overall as the pictures can clearly show, this car is in great shape and whoever buys it will be more than happy with a reliable world beating sports car with looks that match it's performance.  I am the second owner and it was originally a California car.  The underbody looks very clean with no rust whatsoever.  It has a clear title with no liens.

Autocheck reports frame damage.  This is false, car has only been in the accident listed above and that was nothing more than a fender bender.  Auction house made error.

Thank you.

Mitsubishi recalling 2013 Outlander Sport for suspension issue

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Just 305 units of the 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport are the subject of a recall over a potential suspension issue. Crossovers made from January 17-25 of this year might suffer from a bad weld on the front left strut's stabilizer link. If it fails, damage to the brake hose or tire could result, in turn making steering or braking control of the compact CUV more difficult.
When the recall begins, owners can take their Outlander Sports to Mitsubishi dealers for inspection and replacement of the strut assembly if necessary. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin below has more information.

Mitsubishi's first US chairman since 2007 charged with revitalizing brand

Fri, 02 Nov 2012

Have a look at Mitsubishi North America's vehicle page and you'll find seven cars in four model lines: i-MiEV electric hatch, Lancer sedan, Lancer Evolution and Sportback, Outlander and Outlander Sport, and Galant sedan. The Galant has 3.9 tires in the automotive grave, and the only hope for mainstream excitement, the Eclipse coupe and Spyder, had hemlock poured down their crankcases last year. Increasing the quotient of bleak, the Lancer isn't due for a refresh until 2014, the coming Outlander PHEV will sell in miniscule numbers when it does arrive, a little sports car has been nixed and the only other Mitsu being considered for our landmass is the Colt, which, for its stellar fuel economy numbers, looks like a car designed by Pikachu. There's also that matter of declining NA market share in a rising overall market, Mitsubishi's piece of the total pie currently hovering around the 0.4-percent mark according to Automotive News.
The company has decided to do more about it, reassigning Executive Vice President and Head Officer of the Headquarters Product Projects & Strategy Group Gayu Uesugi to be the new chairman of Mitsubishi Motors North America. It will be the first time in five years that someone has filled the chairman position at MMNA.
The hope is that with Uesugi's 35 years with the company, his experience in the company's global product plan and his success in emerging market strategy, he's the man to "[develop] a product plan and growth strategy for the US market" that will put things right. Or at least better. He will work with Yoichi Yokozawa, who has been CEO of MMNA since last year. There are more details on the move in the press release below.

10 automakers shack up in Detroit hotel to talk Takata airbags

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Since Takata has decided not to take the lead concerning potential issues with its airbag inflators, the automakers have. Perhaps that's unsurprising, since it's the automakers, not Takata, that will take a beating on the dealership floor if consumers decide its models are a health hazards. The Detroit News reports that Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru met in a hotel conference room near the Detroit Metropolitan Airport last week to sort out a way to understand the technical issues involved. So far, faulty airbag inflators have been ruled the cause of five deaths and 50 injuries around the world, but neither Takata nor investigators understands exactly why the inflators are malfunctioning. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently asked Takata to issue a national recall, Takata declined, citing a minuscule failure rate and the fact that it's still investigating the issue. Toyota and Honda then made an industry-wide appeal for "a coordinated, comprehensive testing program" that would pinpoint the problem inflators and get them replaced, and that's what the Detroit meeting was about. Numerous issues, however, will make this a long row to hoe: simply getting the parts to replace the nearly 20 million inflators in cars recalled around the world so far - even working with other suppliers - will take a years, but more importantly, no one knows if the replacement inflators currently being installed will suffer the same issue. Answers will hopefully come quickly with Takata, the ten automakers and NHTSA all independently investigating the problem.
