2xJL 10's In a ported box, and a JL Amp (I'll have to check and see which models they were.)

Extras if wanted:

Aftermarket JDM Style Unpainted Rear bumper (Not sure of the brand, the guy I bought my other Evo from gave it to me because he didn't want it anymore)
Stock Exhaust
Stock Intercooler
Stock Springs (suspension)
Possibly Stock Intercooler Piping and intake if I still have it in the attic.


Condition

Small crack in front middle of bumper from a friend bumping into a parking space. Black stock lip is on the car from my other Evo. Normal Wear on steering wheel, Small Stain on driver seat and scuff on driver side of rear bumper (unknown origin of stain and scuff, was there when I purchased the vehicle). Stock wing was painted apex silver due to the carbon fiber being sun damaged when I purchased the vehicle. Left over paint from the wing was used to touch up the scuff on the rear bumper. The trunk carpet is in place, but the sub box was not bolted down and has slid around a bit and messed it up a little. I can take pictures if requested. Hopefully my honesty on the car doesn't hurt the sale, but I drove 4 hours to Houston, TX to pick up my Black Evo, and the seller was more or less honest about the car and has been helpful post sell with any questions I had about the mods he had made to it. I am more than happy to keep in touch with the buyer and answer any future questions they may have, but the mods are pretty straight forward.

Overall Interior/Exterior 9/10  - several small barely noticeable scratches/blemishes that I can notice, but no one else ever does unless I point them out. Most people don't even notice the small crack on front bumper or scuff on rear unless I point it out to them. Car has been garage kept since I purchased it with the exception of the last couple of weeks since my new Evo is in its place in the garage now.

I've always used mobil 1 extended performance oil and filter (The 15,000 mile oil) and changed it every 3-5k miles. I might be able to find receipts for some of the parts, I know I saw the one for the clutch/flywheel when I was cleaning it out.

Car is stock motor/stock turbo and was bone stock when I bought it. Car is unmolested. Carfax listed me as the 5th owner, but from what I can tell from it I am the 2nd non dealership owner. The car had 55k miles on it when I purchased it. Clean Carfax Report is available if requested.


Reason for Selling:

I bought a 2003 Tarmac Black one recently since I've always wanted a black one. The car I'm selling has never broken down or left me stranded in the 3-4 years and 40k miles I've had it, so it was no issue buying one a year older for me.

Call or text 225-seven seven 3-four424 if you call and I don't answer leave a voicemail. I work in plants and can't always have my phone on me, so texting is probably the best bet for initial contact.

The car is listed locally, and a few more miles will be put on it due to test rides for potential buyers, but that is all I have been driving it since I purchased the new one. 

SHIPPING/DELIVERY:   LOCAL PICKUP ONLY

PAYMENT: CASH OR CASHIER'S CHECK

IF REQUESTED, I AM WILLING TO MEET UP WITH A NEARBY MECHANIC SHOP OF YOUR CHOICE TO HAVE THEM LOOK OVER THE VEHICLE (AT BUYER'S EXPENSE IF THERE IS A FEE) IF YOU ARE FROM OUT OF STATE AND WOULD BE TRAVELING HERE TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE.

If more pictures or additional information is needed, I will accommodate this to the best of my ability. (Pictures of specific areas in question) I travel with work, so may or may not be near the car in the event a request is made for pictures, but I should be able to get a coworker or my girlfriend to snap some shots if I am away and it is needed.

Thanks for looking.

Nissan's plan to supply US Mitsubishi dealers with family sedan stalls

Tue, Jan 27 2015

Mitsubishi has quietly had some big success recently. The Japanese brand sold 77,643 vehicles in the US for all of 2014, a 24.8 percent jump over 2013. While still relatively small overall (Ford sold 74,355 F-Series trucks just in December, for example), it shows definite growth for the sometimes forgotten automaker. Unfortunately, the latest news might not help the company's future expansion. The proposed partnership of Mitsubishi and the Renault-Nissan Alliance on at least one midsize sedan for the US market is off the table, according to Automotive News. The company informed sellers that the collaboration had fallen through during a National Automobile Dealers Association meeting. "I told them that the plan has stalled," said Don Swearingen, executive vice president of Mitsubishi Motors North America, to Automotive News. "And I said that's really all I can tell you at this time." Under the original partnership, Mitsubishi was supposed to get a D-segment sedan that would have been built at the Renault-Samsung factory in Busan, South Korea. The automakers were also negotiating for Mitsu to get a C-segment four-door as a global model and developing an electric kei car for Japan together, due in 2016. While the sedan is gone, Mitsubishi isn't completely bereft of improved products in the pipeline. The Mirage Sedan is being launched in the US, and the Outlander is supposed to get a redesign for the 2016 model year. According to Automotive News, the Outlander Sport and Lancer are also due for refreshes in 2016, and a new Mirage is on the way.

Japanese government chides Mitsubishi over recall delays

Sat, 27 Apr 2013

An official with the transport ministry in Japan has some stern words for Mitsubishi, taking the carmaker to task for not being more proactive and honest about its recalls. An investigation into The Tri-Star last December found Mitsubishi was tardy investigating problems and didn't explain itself forthrightly to the transport ministry about the issues. None of Mitsubishi's actions were illegal, and we should stress that this is a dialogue with Mitsubishi in Japan, not Mitsubishi Motors North America.
The official advised the automaker to, "Come up with plans for improvement, implement them and report them to the ministry." It looks like the company will get more practice than it wants in that department, having to announce another recall for the Outlander PHEV over software and hardware glitches. Those recalls come just after Mitsu finally figured out the problem with overheating lithium-ion batteries that caused a production halt of the plug-in hybrid SUV.

Ghosn: Restoring Mitsubishi's reputation is biggest challenge

Thu, May 12 2016

After news that Mitsubishi falsified its fuel economy data on every vehicle it has sold in Japan since 1991, and the tumble in the company's value that followed, the troubled carmaker has an unlikely savior. Nissan has confirmed it will purchase over one third of Mitsubishi's stock, or 34 percent. The stake is valued at $2.2 billion. Ghosn says making Mitsubishi a part of the Renault-Nissan alliance will save billions in development costs. But the merger certainly isn't without challenges. "The biggest challenge is to support Mitsubishi changing itself and growing and being profitable and restoring its reputation," said Ghosn. Nissan is a natural partner for Mitsubishi, and since the fuel economy scandal escalated from discrepancies in the data regarding Mitsubishi-manufactured, Nissan-badged Japan-market vehicles, it makes sense for the company to sweep in and save the day. Nissan itself is partially owned by Renault, and Nissan has a 15-percent stake in the French automaker. Mitsubishi's chairman, Osamu Masuko says that the merger was inevitable, that it "would have happened one day" anyway, according to the New York Times. Carlos Ghosn, chairman of both Nissan and Renault, is confident they will be able to turn Mitsubishi's fortunes around. "We have the track record to make it work", Ghosn said, referring to the Renault-funded rescue of Nissan in the early 2000s. Related Video:
