1988 Dodge Raider Mitsubishi Montero 4wd 2.6 (barn Kept For Last 10 Years) on 2040-cars
Williamsport, Pennsylvania, United States
I wish to sell my 1988 Dodge Raider, also known as a Mitsubishi Montero. I will describe the vehicle to the best of my ability and also the summary of my acquisition of it and any work that has been done to my knowledge. First, I bought the Raider several months ago, with the intention to "fix it up". It was a local vehicle advertised for sale with a "bad engine." It was also noted that the vehicle had not been on the road, and stored in a barn, for approximately ten years. The condition of the body and interior would seem to validate that statement. Additionally, the Pa inspection sticker displayed on the windshield expired in 2004. The first thing I noticed about it, was that it was in surprisingly good cosmetic condition. I got the Raider started a few days after I brought it home. I did start, however the motor had a noticeable knock. A long story short, I ended up pulling the oil pan and discovered that one of the rod bearings had completely disintegrated. It looked as though the previous owners had not run the motor much after the knock developed, as the crank had minimal scoring. Since I was having trouble finding a replacement motor, I put a new bearing in, and put everything back together. Of course it is usually not advisable to replace a bearing where there is even the least visible scoring, but I didn't have the resources to get everything done like new. Now, the motor runs fine, but there is a small knock when it is first started, which seems to disappear within a few seconds. To be honest, sometimes you can hear a faint knock or rattle type sound. I do not know what this is, or how it relates to the initial bearing failure. The motor feels strong. It does not appear that there was any damage to any of the cylinders. It might be prudent to completely rebuild the motor, or replace it. The brakes barely work. I do not know why, I have not looked into it. It could be something very simple, due to the vehicle sitting for 10 years. Also, it will need tires since they are prone to dry rotting and flat spots after sitting for such a lengthy period. As far the body and interior, they are in very good condition, as can be seen in the pictures. There is only a few minor spots of rust. The undercarriage does have same small surface rust, which can easily be peeled off with your fingers. The frame is solid. The underbody is solid. Any surface rust could be removed and some undercoating applied to bring it back to excellent shape. There is a small rust spot behind the rear bumper on one side. The front bumper one the driver's side corner is bent back about half and inch, due to an appear bump into something. There are some chips in the paint on the front of the hood. The interior is nearly immaculate, and one will be surprised to see how good of condition it is in. If you are reading this, then you probably know what these vehicles are. The most remarkable aspect of this one, is that the body and interior are in such good condition. This might just be one of the nicest original Raiders left in existence, period. I really like this thing, and I had big plans to fix it up. Unfortunately for me, I no longer have the time or the money to invest in another project. I just want to get rid of it. Not to mention I need the space in my garage. It has been in my garage since early this year, I just got it out to take some pictures. Like I said, it starts right up, runs and drives. I moved it under its own power. I have not driven it on the road, so I cannot attest to any condition of its roadworthiness. I only moved it around my property. Anyone is welcome to come inspect the vehicle, just send me a message to set up a time. The Raider has a clean Pennsylvania title in my name. There are local notary services where the buyer and myself can go to during normal business hours to transfer the title. Buyer is responsible for paying any fees associated with the transfer transaction, and/or any registration, plates, tags, etc. Buyer is responsible for any towing or shipping arrangements. I will accept a PayPal payment, or cash payment only. No personal checks, no cashiers checks. I reserve the right to relist the vehicle for auction if the winning bidder has not either made full payment, or has not contacted me to tell me when I will receive payment (i.e. when they are coming to pay cash), within 3 days of the auction's close. Feel free to ask any questions. Thank you for looking. Have a good day.

Say Hello to the Kitty edition Mitsubishi Mirage
Wed, 30 Oct 2013Japan is the country that gave us the GT-R, the LFA and the STI. But it's also the home of Hello Kitty. We try our best to ignore the commonality, but now Mitsubishi is putting it right in our faces with the new Hello Kitty edition Mirage.
Decked out in pink, the special Mirage arrives on the occasion of the character's 40th anniversary. It comes decked out with Hello Kitty decals on the outside, special hubcaps and unique upholstery. It's even got a Hello Kitty pillow inside, for crying out loud.
Fortunately, only 400 examples will be made, hopefully only for domestic consumption, wearing a sticker price of 116,970 yen (equivalent to about $12k). Now we wish we could say this was a first, but sadly it's not - not even for Mitsubishi.
2014 Mitsubishi Outlander unveiled with new look, standard seating for seven
Thu, 29 Nov 2012The 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander wears the new face previewed at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, and adds a host of features on top of its seven standard chairs. Ditching the shark-nosed Lancer-inspired front has reduced drag, increased use of high-tensile steel means a 200-pound weight loss and the reworked 2.4-liter four-cylinder paired a CVT will all result in what Mitsubishi says is one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles in the seven-passenger segment. Looks-wise, around the rest of the vehicle come sharper sculpting and more character lines.
Reaching higher inside, the IP is now soft-touch, and a heavily restyled interior with woodgrain accents is more somber, but more elegant. Mod-cons have gone up a step, too: the 2014 Outlander getting a next-generation nav system, a power tailgate that can be opened from the driver's seat and safety tech like Lane Departure Warning.
There's a press release below with more info, and high-res shots from the LA Auto Show floor above.
Mitsubishi subcompact sedan coming to US in 2015?
Tue, 14 May 2013Speaking to some of its dealers recently, Mitsubishi unveiled its plans for a new subcompact sedan offering in the US. Automotive News reports the automaker showed off a rendering of a new subcompact sedan and said the machine will debut sometime in 2015.
The little four-door could be based on the three-cylinder G4 Concept that bowed at the Shanghai Motor Show this year, effectively making it a four-door version of the current five-door Mirage. Mitsubishi dealers are currently starving for new products to entice buyers into showrooms. A redesigned Outlander will show up this summer, long before the teased subcompact sedan. The automaker is also planning to bring out a revised version of the five-door Mirage compact later this year.
Dealers are taking the announcement as a sign that Mitsubishi has finally begun to turn things around. Automotive News spoke with Scott Grove, who owns two Mitsubishi dealerships near Chicago. Grove said he thought the dealer meeting was more positive than it's been in years, and that he believes Mitsubishi is finally on the offensive.
