1994 Dodge Colt ES 4-door
I am the 57 year-old original owner of this 212,xxx mile car. 
The oil and filter have been changed every 3,000 miles, the last ten years with synthetic blend.
It has made a 40 mile round trip every day, 35 of those being interstate miles.
The car runs great, shifts great, drives great, handles like new, and gets 30 mpg.
It uses a quart of oil in about 2,000 miles.
It has a new battery and a fairly new distributor.
The timing belt was replaced at 164,xxx miles, the same time a new head gasket was installed.
Mechanically, I feel the car is excellent and the winner can plan on driving it home.

The paint and interior are original. The spoiler , door handles, and bumper covers are either dull or flaking, the hood has typical chips, the headlights aren't too faded.  The interior is splitting and there are some stains, but not bad overall.  The A/C and cruise work, along with the Pioneer stereo and the remote mirrors. There was a minor accident involving the drivers side, primarily the rear door.  The front door has minor damage, the rear door probably should be replaced.  I did an online search and there's plenty of doors out there. The doors and windows still function correctly.  The trunk is clean, with the original spare There are no oil or coolant drips or leaks and it's all original and unaltered under the hood.  The brakes are good.  Fairly new Raybestos pads on the front.

I had not planned on selling this car, but I had been looking for a 2005-2006 Corolla XRS and finally found one 200 miles from here and bought it.  Because I was planning on keeping the Colt, and before I found the XRS,  I bought new 205/60R16 Michelins for the Colt and had the 16x7.5 ICW wheels refinished at the same time. I have had these wheels for about ten years and they are true and balance well. The tuner lug nut adapter is included.   The tires and refinished wheels have less than 500 miles on them. The wheels were professionally refinished: media blasted and two-part base/clear used.  They look like new.

Mechanically, this car is A-1.  This is a 100% Japanese-made car and it proves the theories about Japanese cars being longevity champs. It needs nothing mechanically, buy it and drive it  immediately. I have most of the service records.  The original 14" steel wheels, plastic wheelcovers, and worn-out tires are included with the car, if wanted.

Please look closely at the pictures and email me with any questions you have.  You should inspect this car in person before bidding.  The high bidder will be expected to buy the car. Please don't win the auction then decide you don't want it.

There is, of course, no warranty, and the car must be picked up locally, or if shipping is desired, the buyer will need to arrange that.

Nissan's purchase of Mitsubishi is officially official

Thu, Oct 20 2016

After the company's announcement in May, the Nissan's purchase of a 34 percent stake in Mitsubishi is now official. The deal cost Nissan $2.3 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal, and brings Mitsubishi into the Nissan-Renault Alliance. The company explained that this new partnership will manifest itself in shared vehicle platforms and technology, joint purchasing, and shared manufacturing. Nissan also said that this purchase will make the company one of the three largest companies by volume in the world. Nissan also emphasized that Mitsubishi will very much be a partner in the current alliance with Renault. In addition, Carlos Ghosn, CEO of both Nissan and Renault, has been nominated to be the new chairman of the Mitsubishi board. With Ghosn at the head of the board, current Mitsubishi president and CEO, Osamu Masuko, will remain in his positions but Nissan's current chief competitive officer will join Masuko as co-chief executive officer at Mitsubishi. With these companies now working together, we'll probably start seeing more commonality between Nissan and Mitsubishi products here in the States. It would also be a great opportunity to get some of Mitsubishi's cooler products here. Perhaps Mitsubishi and Nissan will take our hint about the Delica. This article has been revised to clarify that Nissan Motors purchased the stake in Mitsubishi, not the Nissan-Renault Alliance, and to add the value of the purchase.

Final edition Mitsubishi Evo X arrives next June as 5MT GSR

Sat, Nov 29 2014

Jalopnik recenly held an online Q&A session with Don Swearingen, an executive vice president at Mitsubishi Motors North America. If you're into Mitsu you should peruse the whole thread because questioners jumped all over the subject map, asking about getting the Delica here (not going to happen) and a new Montero (another concept presaging production is coming to the Chicago Auto Show next year), the company's fleet vehicle stance (they kill residuals, Mitsu isn't interested), and a Mirage racing series (right now it doesn't make sense). But for any enthusiast, every question not dealing with a new Lancer Evolution XI is merely a side dish. On that note, Swearingen took his turn ringing the death knell for the Evo series, saying "There are currently no plans for an Evo XI," which is kinder than his words at the LA Auto Show when he told Motor Trend, "Its time has come and gone." Nevertheless, he gave us a few more details on the final edition Evo Special Action Model that Automotive News reported on three months ago: it will be a GSR five-speed with "More horsepower, some suspension tuning, and some bits pieces that are still being finalized. Around 2,000 units will be available." Those of you hoping for a spiffier interior or a massive curb weight diet won't take much solace from that, but the 2,000 or so buyers who get to drive the hommage to The Once and Future King probably won't mind.

Mitsubishi previews new Attrage global sedan

Tue, 21 May 2013

It's been about a month since we first saw the Mitsubishi Concept G4 at the Shanghai Motor Show, but now the automaker has revealed the first images for the sedan in production trim. Wearing the Mitsubishi Attrage nameplate, this sedan will go on sale this summer in Thailand and could eventually makes its way to the US. Despite being essentially a sedan version of its subcompact Mirage, Mitsubishi refers to the Attrage as its next-generation global compact sedan, suggesting it's a fair bit larger than its hatchback counterpart.
We only have this single image to go on, but the new Attrage obviously has the same overall look as the Concept G4. As expected, it does lose some of the more conceptual bits, including the fancy headlights, grills and wheels. While the styling has us thinking back to the late 1990s, the true advantage of the Attrage is likely to be its fuel consumption. US fuel economy for the Attrage hasn't been released, but the closely related 2014 Mirage is expected to return 37 miles per gallon in the city and 44 mpg on the highway using the same 1.2-liter inline four-cylinder engine paired with either a five-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission. Scroll down for the brief press release for the Thai-built Attrage.
