 You are bidding on a CLASSIC 1998 Mitsubishi Montero. I'm just going to be pretty straight with everything, this car has been my tank, get the job done, no playing around car since we bought it back in '98 (the good ole days). All 194k miles are family owned and have been quite adventurous. If you are looking for a car to not only get you from A to B and maybe over a few mountains through the woods to granny's house. Yes, the mileage is rather high, however, this baby has thousands of more miles left, or can be used as a utility car (what I have been using it for) to help load that wood for the fence you are building or maybe some mulch for the lawn.

Pros:

-Car runs and gets about 17mpg (not too shabby for a '99)
-Sound system works
-Power seats, heated seats
-Moon roof
-Tank, drives through snow and tornadoes...
-Utility, seats about 7 to 8 people
-4 wheel drive
-Fully functional (lights, turn signals, brights, everything operates fine)
-Working AC and Heat
-Power windows

Cons:

-Normal wear and tear for a 14 year car with over 190k miles on it (rips, scrapes, etc. dings and dongs, no major body damage however)
-Rust, this is a 14 year car so there will be rust throughout the engine and undercarriage, has yet to affect me yet though
-Driving- the car needs a new transmission module (about $79)
     -Further explain: Car drives fine, but without the transmission module you have to drive the car in L (Low gear), then shift to 2 (2nd Gear), then shift to D (Drive). I havent gotten this replaced because I actually enjoy it a little, makes me feel like I'm driving a sports car with manual trans. I can give a demo of how easy and simple it really is. Plus I get better gas mileage out of it, I've gotten about 24mpg on highways at times
-Trunk, the back trunk door does not open, it hasn't for years and hasnt really affected me to fix it, seems like the lock just had a electrical short something not sure but the seats come down so I just throw the grass seed and supplies from the rear doors, I am sure you can easily get this fixed.
-Age: lets be honest, if you are trying to use this as a commuter car, I am not too sure how many miles you can push this, I drive it about 5 miles to the bus stop everyday to get to the city, and on weekends around 100miles or more if I have to pick some furniture someone is selling on craigslists.


OVERALL:
This car will get you through any weather and easily through the NY snows we have, I have driven it all throughout the winter and it drives strong. Its an old car with a whole lot of heart and just needs a new home. Yes it has a few downsides but what car of this age doesn't, if you really want to you can turn this into a great project car or something. It has a lot of potential and many miles left.

If interested do not hesitate to call or message me 8453251033.

I can offer Buy Now for in the $2250 range or less which is much lower than KBB value already but just shoot me an offer and I can see what I can do, I recently got a Land Rover and just don't need the car anymore for much. Also the cash can contribute to my many travels abroad and around because I am in the Army. THIS IS A MAN CAR THAT WILL GET THE JOB DONE!

GO ARMY! GOD BLESS!

KBB VALUE: $3503

NOTE: Ignore the VIN number, that is for my other car but I left this car at my parents house and forgot to get the VIN, however, if wanted I can call and get it from them. I can only have a select number of cars on the Army post and with the addition of the Rover I had to leave it at my parents which live in Monroe, NY Orange County so only 15 min away from me.

Mitsubishi recalls 82,426 vehicles for CVT hesitation issues

Mon, Aug 22 2016

The Basics: Mitsubishi is recalling 82,436 vehicles from the 2015 and 2016 model year. The recall affects the continuously variable transmissions, or CVTs, in 2015-16 Outlander Sports, 2016 Outlanders, and 2016 Lancers. Mitsubishi calls their Jatco manufactured CVT a constant velocity transmission. The Problem: According to the document Mitsubishi submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the CVTs in certain vehicles can momentarily lose signal and delay acceleration. This can increase the risk of an accident. Injuries/Deaths: It is unknown if there are any injuries or deaths related to this issue. The Fix: Dealerships will reprogram affected CVTs for free. If you own one: Mitsubishi Motors North America began the recall on August 15. If you own an affected vehicle, contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-16-006. Mitsubishi dealers should be able to update the CVT's software and resolve the issue.

Say Hello to the Kitty edition Mitsubishi Mirage

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

Japan is the country that gave us the GT-R, the LFA and the STI. But it's also the home of Hello Kitty. We try our best to ignore the commonality, but now Mitsubishi is putting it right in our faces with the new Hello Kitty edition Mirage.
Decked out in pink, the special Mirage arrives on the occasion of the character's 40th anniversary. It comes decked out with Hello Kitty decals on the outside, special hubcaps and unique upholstery. It's even got a Hello Kitty pillow inside, for crying out loud.
Fortunately, only 400 examples will be made, hopefully only for domestic consumption, wearing a sticker price of 116,970 yen (equivalent to about $12k). Now we wish we could say this was a first, but sadly it's not - not even for Mitsubishi.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
