1997 Mitsubishi Montero Ls , 4x4 , Solid Truck In Great Shape. on 2040-cars
Shepherd, Texas, United States
The truck for sale is a 1997 Mitsubishi Montero LS 4x4. These are getting hard to find and becoming quite sought after ( this is no common Montero Sport )
This truck has a 3.5L V6 , automatic transmission and super-select 4WD. Clean Texas title under my name. Drives straight and smooth down the road. Its 100% dependable and runs like a champ ,Texas inspection and registration are good until 2015. It has all new O2 sensors , new alternator , new battery , new ignition switch and a new starter. Timing belt was done at 120K miles. There are no check engine lights , no warning light of any kind. It has 170K miles and is driven daily. I have another 1996 Montero SR so I am an enthusiast of these trucks and this one has always been very well taken cared of. It's been my faithful daily driver for two years and its never left me stranded. These trucks are known for their toughness and dependability. The engines can run well into the 300K+ miles with proper maintenance. Super select 4x4 systems works exactly as it should. It engages in and out out of all the modes perfectly fine and functions perfect. It has power windows ( one of the rears stick ), power locks , power mirrors , power steering , cold AC , hot heater , tinted windows , a HUGE working sunroof , dual airbags , CD/MP3/USB Pioneer radio with upgraded component speakers , rear window wiper , and all basic creature comforts you would need. I have a set of side steps that go with the truck as well. Interior is 100% there and functional. It has cloth seats in very good shape. Overall I would say its a good 8-10 inside. It has seating for 7 (3 rows of cloth seats) The third row of seats can be folded out of the way for extra storage. Removed completely if not needed or left in for lugging the whole family around. The truck comes with a set of 245/75/15 with less then 5000 miles / 2 months on them. I've got the warranty and receipt for the tires. (the tires pictures with the snow are All Terrains that will not go with the truck) 33s will fit on this truck as is with no modifications or parts. 35s fit with little work. Now like any 17 year old vehicle this truck is not perfect. Lucky these issues don't effect you much. 1) Cruise control does not work. I think its just the switch because it does not light up when you push it. 2) Small dent on the front chrome bumper and a quarter size dent on the front right fender. 3) Paint on the hood and roof is not as nice as the rest of the truck. Looks like the previous owner tried to color match paint with a rattle can. It doesn't look horrible but it worth mentioning. 4) Burns about a qt. of oil every 3000-4000 miles ( leaky valve guide seals are super common on these ) Doesn't harm anything or effect how this truck runs. That's pretty much it. This can easily be a A to B vehicle to drive to work everyday but I think it deserves to be in the hands of an enthusiast who will take it to more then just the mall. I've taken this truck to Colorado for vacation with my family 3 times already without a hiccup. It wheels in the snow better then anything I've ever driven. Eats up trails with the best of them. I feel completely confident that you can get in this truck today and drive it home anywhere in the country without any issues. Truck is located in Shepherd , TX (45 minutes North of Houston) I am not responsible for transportation of the vehicle if the buyer is not local but I'd be glad to help as much as I can. Truck does not come with license plates if buyer is not local. Title is clean and under my name. I will also include a professionally typed bill of sale. Feel free to message me with any questions. Thanks |

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Mitsubishi NA gets new president and CEO
Thu, 06 Feb 2014Last week, we told you that Mitsubishi will be getting a new global president, with Osamu Masuko stepping aside in favor of Tesuro Aikawa. The executive changes at the Japanese automaker are hitting closer to home, now, with official word that Mitsubishi Motors North America is getting a new president and CEO, as well. Effective March 1, Ryujiro Kobashi will take over for Yoichi Yokozawa, 49, who has been in charge since April of 2011. Yokozawa is headed back to Japan, where he will assume a spot in the company's corporate planning offices.
Kobashi, 53, has been with Mitsubishi since 1983 when he was fresh out of college. Previous to taking the top job in North America, he was installed as corporate general manager of the NA office at Mitsubishi's headquarters in Japan, where he coordinated regional operations for the US, Canada and Mexico. Before that, he held posts in planning, marketing, advertising and public relations for the company.
Kobashi takes over the company's North American operations at a pivotal time, when the region is finally showing signs of life after a prolonged period of stagnation. As Automotive News notes, Mitsubishi only sold 62,227 vehicles in the US in 2013, but that figure still represents an eight-percent increase. Its crossovers, the new-for-2014 Outlander and the two-year-old Outlander Sport have been selling relatively well, and the affordable Mirage subcompact is a new arrival at dealers.
Mitsubishi to showcase Outlander PHEV Concept-S in Paris
Mon, 22 Sep 2014The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is rumored to finally come to the US next fall as a 2016 model. In the meantime, the Japanese brand is showing off a concept for an Outlander plug-in at the Paris Motor Show in October with a massive improvement in styling and material quality that the automaker calls the "Sporty and Sophisticated" design theme.
With just a nip and a tuck, Mitsubishi's stylists have made the Outlander PHEV look a whole lot better. Instead of the narrow, squinting look of the current model, the concept shows a more vertical design that puts a big X right on the front end. In the center, there is an updated version of the horizontal grille leading to reshaped headlights. The big changes are found somewhat lower, with an air dam that is much better integrated thanks to black and chrome accents to draw the eye. The company claims that the rear gets similar upgrades with new lights and shining trim running across the tailgate.
The improved styling gets carried inside, as well. According to Mitsubishi, the design features black wood grain trim and silver accents throughout the cabin, and the center console is inspired by Japanese black lacquer boxes. The seats are also covered in hand-stitched leather with horizontal ribs.
