2002 Mitsubishi Montero Limited Sport Utility 4-door 3.5l on 2040-cars
McLean, Virginia, United States
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! |

Bhutan asks Nissan, Mitsubishi for help with massive EV-only plan
Mon, Jul 7 2014Originally, the somewhat modest plan was to introduce 2,000 electric vehicles to the capital of Bhutan. Then things got bigger when Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn paid the country a visit and the Prime Minister of Bhutan, Tshering Tobgay, said his country, "will commit to a program to achieve zero emissions as a nation by a certain target date." Now we're approaching "holy huge" territory. Last week, Tobgay visited Japan to ask Nissan and Mitsubishi for help in possibly replacing every combustion vehicle with an all-electric option. "Gasoline is expensive and unfriendly to the environment." – Bhutan's Prime Minister At the very least, Bhutan wants to make more eco-friendly vehicles available. Tobgay told AsiaNews that, "Gasoline is expensive and unfriendly to the environment. Sustainable transportation will bring citizens happiness," which is something that a country that measures its Gross National Happiness is eager to track. Switching to electric vehicles makes complete sense in Bhutan, since the mountainous Asian nation produces more renewable hydro-electricity than it can use. Ninety-five percent of the zero-emission energy is exported to India, and Bhutan uses the profits to buy fuel from India to then power its vehicles. You can probably figure out for yourself how there's a simpler way to do this. News Source: AsiaNews.it Green Mitsubishi Nissan Green Culture Electric
Chrysler de Mexico to sell rebadged Mitsubishi model in shades of Colt deal
Wed, 02 Jul 2014Chrysler and Mitsubishi have had a close relationship since the early '70s. Back then, they partnered up to sell the Japanese brand's models under American names as captive imports in the US. Vehicles like the Dodge Colt, Eagle Summit, and eventually the 3000GT/Stealth twins and lots of other cars and trucks became the fruits of that alliance. In fact, the two companies still maintain a good rapport, as evidenced by reports of a new deal to sell the Mitsubishi Attrage, also known the Mirage G4, in Mexico starting in November.
The Attrage is a small, four-door sedan that borrows many of the mechanical bits from the Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback. According to Automotive News, the deal allows Chrysler to sell the model in Mexico for the next five years. The deal could be a win-win for both companies. Mitsubishi gets to use more capacity at its Laem Chabang, Thailand factory where the car is made, and Chrysler gets a new vehicle for a growing market with almost zero development costs. At this time, there's no indication of the new model's name in Mexico, though.
There's also still a chance the Attrage might make it to the US market as well. The automaker showed off the sedan as the Mirage G4 at the 2014 Montreal Motor Show ahead of promised sales in small-car-friendly Canada. The Mirage hatchback was introduced to the US in a similar way, debuting in Canada first and then crossing the border. While reviews for the Mirage have been pretty atrocious, it would still be interesting to see Mitsubishi further expanding its lineup in North America.
Mitsubishi boss labels French minister a "retard" for "ruining the lives of motorists" [UPDATE]
Thu, 25 Oct 2012Arnaud Montebourg (pictured), French Minister of Industrial Recovery, was recently the target of a rather despicable slur at the hands of Mitsubishi France's leader, Jean-Claude Debard.
Frustrated by Montebourg's attempts to encourage the purchase of lower emitting vehicles and discourage use of high-emission vehicles - by way of tax breaks and tax hikes, respectively - Debard reportedly used the occasion of a new product launch to call the minister "stupid," a "mental case" and a "retard" before members of the media. Here's the full quote, as reported by the French newspaper La Provence by way of The Telegraph:
"This mental case, this retard, increases ecological taxes, reduces the speed motorists can go on Paris' ring road and ruins the life of motorists from all social origins all suffer as a result of him. He is stupid and understands nothing, you can quote me on that."
