Awd Turbo, Unmolested Adult Female Owned on 2040-cars
Matawan, New Jersey, United States
|
this is a 1997 mitsubishi GSX AWD Turbo that I bought for my wife who has used it for the past 4-5 years. it is basically all original and has never been hot rodded or molested. even the radio is original, no gauges have been hacked in and nothing has been cut and hacked up, I did however upgrade the wheels to newer eclipse wheels with new tires and the original 97 GSX wheels are also included with this auction. overall the car is in very decent condition, it is not perfect nor is it a brand new car, but as far as 16 year old cars go, it is in very good shape. it has had some misc paintwork through the years and the body and paint is in very decent shape but there are a few minor issues. the right side fender has a small rust spot where it meets the bumper, the 2 fog light bezels are missing and there are some cracks in the paint on the left side lower rocker/body molding. there is also a very small dent on the passengers fender which doesn't show up in pictures but everything else is shown in the pics. there is some minor rust starting to develop on the inner trunk lid seem and the lower door seems. I have treated these areas with a little POR-15 to stop the rust from spreading, it is not rotted or rusted through anywhere, just some minor surface stuff that would be a easy clean up fix, overall the car looks run and drives great.
the car does have 120k and although it runs great and is very strong and solid it does have a slight oil leak near the oil filter and it could use a valve adjustment as the valvetrain does tick a little louder than it did when I first got it, but nothing so bad really, just want to point out whatever negative things I can think of. the only other mechanical issue is that the car has had the transmission replaced a few years ago, and at the time we had a good low mileage JDM tranny installed. the difference between the JDM tranny and the USDM tranny is the JDM tranny does not use a lock up converter where the us model does, so the check engine light does come on giving a code for the lock up solenoid, because the JDM tranny does not have a lock up solenoid. it works great and there are no problems other than the check engine light. I have been told this problem can be solved but have never needed to, the check engine light winds up not being a problem for passing inspection on this car though because these eclipses are known for problems with the ecu not properly setting the readiness monitors anyway, so this car can pass inspection by just resetting the CE light then going for inspection, have passed inspection every year for me no problem. the JDM tranny is also said to be stronger than the US model.
the car looks runs and drives great, original unmolested examples of these GSX's are getting harder and harder to find. this car is not perfect but it is a very solid good looking car that still has a lot of life left in her. good luck on the bidding. I will not arrange shipping for you, but I will help in any way I can to co-operate and coordinate with a shipper of your choice. I will require a $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction end and the car will NOT be released until all funds have cleared, no exceptions. |

Mitsubishi Pajero successor still years away, but plug-in hybrid tech likely
Sun, 10 Mar 2013You might not know it from looking at today's Mitsubishi showrooms, but the struggling Japanese automaker has a pretty enviable reputation for producing robust off-roaders. Its Pajero SUV built a solid reputation worldwide on the back of its durability in harsh climates, earning it consideration alongside the likes of venerable explorers like the Toyota Land Cruiser and Land Rover Range Rover. Unfortunately, the Pajero eventually succumbed to one particularly harsh climate - the North American truck market. After enjoying a long run, Mitsubishi finally pulled the plug on the SUV's Montero twin after the 2006 model year. Blame evolving consumer tastes, low brand visibility, a lackluster marketing budget, or the need for updated product - in fact, go ahead and blame all of the above.
Despite its age, the current fourth-generation Pajero (itself arguably an extensive rework of the previous model) has been carrying a lot of water for the brand in other parts of the world since its debut in 2006. So it's pretty well time for a new one. Problem is, its replacement is still a ways off. That's according to Australia's Go Auto, which has learned that the next-generation Pajero could still be three years away, if not longer.
According to Go Auto, the next model will be a much-changed beast, with design targets including a major weight loss and increased efficiency to go along with more luxurious appointments. In order to make gains in fuel economy, the plug-in hybrid technology that the company has already introduced for its new Outlander crossover will likely be a part of the SUV's development program.
1,400 Mitsubishi vehicles lost in shipping tragedy
Thu, 06 Dec 2012A cargo ship carrying 1,400 Mitsubishi vehicles from Japan and Thailand collided with another vessel off the coast of Belgium and the Netherlands yesterday. The 485-foot Baltic Ace was carrying cars from Zeebrugge, Belgium to Kotka, Finland when it collided with the 439-foot Corvus J. While the Corvus J sustained damage during the incident, it is not in danger of sinking, and its 12-man crew is currently still on board.
The Baltic Ace, meanwhile, went under. Three ships from the Royal Dutch Sea Rescue Organization, two navy vessels, four helicopters and one coastguard aircraft spent the evening searching for survivors, but rough seas and high winds hampered the effort. Eighteen of the Baltic Ace's crew, including the captain, were rescued after being found in life rafts, but six remain missing. The search for survivors has officially been called off.
The collision occurred in one of the busiest shipping lanes in the North Sea, and the managers behind the Baltic Ace said they believed human error was to blame for the incident. Dutch police are currently looking into whether or not they can investigate the sinking despite the fact that the collision took place outside of the country's territorial waters.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution recalled over clutch woes
Fri, 25 Oct 2013Mitsubishi will be recalling over 10,000 Lancer Evolutions built between December 12, 2007 and March 5, 2013, covering model years 2008 to 2013. The recall only affects cars with manual transmissions, though, so if you opted for a Lancer Evo with a quick-shifting SST, this recall doesn't apply to you.
If you're one of the 10,474 people that has a Lancer Evo X GSR, which is the only way into a manual-trans Evo X, you need to plan a trip to your local dealer. The recall relates to a failure in the clutch master cylinder, making shifting in and out of gear difficult. Consequently, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that this could increase the odds of crashing.
Mitsu will notify owners of the affected cars, and these Evo models will be repaired, free of charge, at dealerships. The recall is slated to begin around November 11. Scroll down for the full bulletin from the NHTSA.
