Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GTS - Garage Kept - CAR IS IN SAFE MODE

I purchased this car from a local dealer when the mileage was just 40,000 as my personal car.  I used it mainly to go back and forth to work which was only 8 miles from my home, hence the still low miles of only 70,556.  It has been loved, cared for and driven with the utmost respect by me only since I purchased it.  It has NEVER been run hard or abused in any way while in my care!!! 

About 2 years ago I bought a truck and retired the car to the garage for the most part, other than the occasional week end ride.  Then one day I went to go for a ride and low and behold it went into "Safe Mode."  My husband replaced several sensors thinking one of them was the issue with no success. 

Other than being in safe mode (means that all the electronics have been shut down to the transmission as a safety feature to keep it from sustaining damage) this car is still in extra nice condition.  The motor runs well with no problems at all and the transmission is still in great condition if you can figure out which component has gone simple that is.  The exterior is still beautiful and shiny with only a few small dings here and there, nothing bad enough to note specifically.  The interior is also in extra nice condition with no rips or tears in the leather seats, it has a 6 cd changer, all the extras this model came out with and power everything.  The dash has cracked (defect) as it did on all these cars of this year and the lining on the interior of the top is loose around the rear window.  Various minor, normal signs of use.  None severe.  The convertible top is in very good working condition.

Overall a great car in very nice condition.  If you're a mechanic or mechanically inclined this car is perfect for you.  It don't believe it will require much money to fix if you can do it yourself but it will require a knowledgeable mechanic.  Fluids changed regularly, all maintenance requirements were met or exceeded. 

Includes the original top cover for when the top is down.

Being sold "AS IS."

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV US launch delayed over battery shortage

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Mitsubishi resumed full-scale battery production in August after a five-month shutdown due to a safety investigation. Supplier Lithium Energy Japan has been delivering 4,000 battery packs each month since September, but that's apparently still not enough to fill the overseas inventory pipeline for the Outlander PHEV and i subcompact EV while launching the Outlander PHEV here in the US. So instead of the previous tentative launch date of Fall 2014, the plug-in hybrid's Stateside on-sale date has been pushed back until 2015.
That's according to Automotive News, which also notes that Mitsubishi has sold 11,300 plug-in Outlanders this year, though that number reflects the production stoppage over the battery issues. As of April, battery supplier LEJ will be able to supply 5,000 packs per month just for the Outlander, but company president Osamu Masuko has gone on record saying that production will have to rise above that in order to make the US launch.
Every Mitsubishi dealer (and hopefully a fair number of consumers) will be looking forward to a crossover that, for the moment, doesn't really have natural rivals. The Outlander PHEV can drive 32 miles on electricity alone, has a top speed of 75 miles per hour in EV mode and offers all-wheel drive with a towing capacity of over 3,000 pounds. The model should get an impressive MPGe rating from the EPA when it finally arrives and it figures to be a bellwether for the plug-in Outlander Sport and Pajero utility vehicles that are expected to arrive after it. Hopefully 2015 will be its year.

Mitsubishi recalling 166k cars, crossovers over stall risk

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

Mitsubishi is recalling 165,923 vehicles in the US because it's possible for the drive belt to detach from their engines, potentially causing a stall. Specifically, the campaign covers 2008-2011 model-year examples of the Lancer, Lancer Evolution (pictured above) and Outlander as well as the 2009-2011 Lancer Sportback and 2011 Outlander Sport. All of the affected models use some version of the brand's 4B1 four-cylinder engine.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the engine pulley can wear causing the drive belt to slip off. If this happens, the alternator, cooling fan and hydraulic power steering can all stop working, and obviously, any of those things could make driving unsafe. However, if the belt detaches, then a warning light should come on in the cabin.
To fix the problem, Mitsubishi dealers will replace the original belt with a redesigned rubber part and will inspect the pulley. If worn, it'll also be replaced free of charge.

Limited-edition Mitsubishi 311RS Evo X coming to Minneapolis Auto Show [w/video]

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

It's not terribly often that we have news to report coming out ahead of the Minneapolis Auto Show. We say that not to disparage the Twin Cities, which are lovely, but new product reveals are few and far between for the show. This year, however, it seems that event will play host to the debut of a rather special limited edition Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. Though not coming directly from the Mitsu factory, we think the 311RS shows loads of potential for Evo fanatics.
The 311RS is the brainchild of circuit racer Ryan Gates, who has apparently spent the last three years developing what he believes is an Evo perfect for both racing and road driving. Starting life as a bog-standard Evo X, the Gates team has swapped out the factory intake, intercooler and exhaust system for more potent AMS pieces; resulting in output figures of 353 horsepower and nearly 359 pound-feet of torque. A new suspension from JRZ, brakes from Girodisc and 18-inch custom Rays wheels shod with high-performance Nitto tires represent significant updates to the underpinnings, as well.
Of course, the 311RS is also rocking a full body kit, too, with a more aggressive front air dam and a subtle lip added on to the stock rear wing. The blue and white racing livery, with matching blue wheels, looks racy without being too childish, we think.
