Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X 08 Gsr Graphite Grey on 2040-cars

US $23,500.00
Year:2008 Mileage:61000
Location:

Hi, for sale is easily the best car I have ever owned.  It is a 2008 Evo X with 61,000 miles on it.  This car has been extremely well cared for with fluids changed and maintenance done regularly, parked in a finished garage, and never beat on, drag raced, or majorly modified in anyway.  The Evo is I believe the perfect combination of car traits, it's fast, handles amazing, and is responsive in everyway meanwhile it gets 25+ mpg on the highway, has room for 4+, and is comfortable enough for trips and everyday life.  I have falken eurowinter tires on it and have never felt safer driving a car in the snow.  The engine and drivetrain are smooth and operate like new.

Some features and minor mods include:
-apexi rs evo catback exhaust
-tein lowering springs
-carbon fiber SSS style rear wing
-aluminum parking brake/razo weighted shift knob
-factory aux audio ports
-Ralliart black tail-lights
-a new ACD pump
-aluminum underbody tray (I also have stock plastic one)
-intake

Imperfections include (I'm very picky and believe in being as up front and honest as possible):
-car was in a less than 5 mph fender bender and instead of fixing the old bumper I fought to have Mitsubishi install an OEM new one without license plate wholes at the dealership (front end looks perfectly brand new and clean)
-could use new brake pads in the future
-small scratch on passenger rear quarter panel
-carbon fiber spoiler has small chip in resin
-hood scoop paint is peeling slightly

Overall as the pictures can clearly show, this car is in great shape and whoever buys it will be more than happy with a reliable world beating sports car with looks that match it's performance.  I am the second owner and it was originally a California car.  The underbody looks very clean with no rust whatsoever.  It has a clear title with no liens.

Autocheck reports frame damage.  This is false, car has only been in the accident listed above and that was nothing more than a fender bender.  Auction house made error.

Thank you.

2014 Mitsubishi Mirage arrives in US this fall

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

Mitsubishi dealers have been painfully starved of fresh product for ages now, with their most recent new model, the bubble-shaped i electric car, already requiring a serious sales jumpstart. We've known for a while that help is on the way in the form of an all-new Outlander crossover, but we've basically only had loose confirmations to go on that the Japanese automaker would eventually reintroduce its Mirage subcompact to the American market. Today, those rumors have turned to reality, as Mitsubishi has confirmed that the five-door economy car will hit US dealerships this fall.
Every subcompact player needs a trump suit, from Ford's tech-rich Fiesta to Honda's impossibly space-efficient Fit, and the Mirage's calling card figures to be its fuel economy. Mitsubishi says it expects its 2014 Mirage to achieve 37 miles per gallon in the city and 44 on the highway (combined rating of 40 mpg) when equipped with a continuously variable transmission. Those figures are good enough, Mitsu says, to earn it the title of the most fuel-efficient gasoline vehicle sold in America that isn't a hybrid.
Of course, Mitsubishi isn't outlining any additional specs at the moment - not even engine configuration. We're expecting the company's 1.2-liter three-cylinder, which in European spec delivers a modest 79 horsepower and 78 pound-feet of torque. The Continent's Mirage weighs under 1,900 pounds, but the normally aspirated triple still makes for leisurely acceleration of 11.7 seconds to 62 miles per hour. It will be interesting to see if Mitsubishi makes some powertrain alterations to better suit American expectations.

1,400 Mitsubishi vehicles lost in shipping tragedy

Thu, 06 Dec 2012

A 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 CEO vows to stay in US on heels of Suzuki's departure

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

By now, you're surely aware that Suzuki is pulling out of the US market. It was a bit of a foregone conclusion to most who've been paying attention to the automotive realm, but it still sent a small shockwave through the industry. And one of the most oft-heard retorts goes something like this: "Next up: Mitsubishi."
It's easy to understand why many question Mitsubishi's existence in the States. After all, now that Suzuki is gone, Mitsubishi is the Japanese automaker with the fewest sales in America. Furthermore, the automaker's market share has dropped from .7 percent to just .4 percent after seeing sales fall 29 percent to 50,103 units through October.
In any case, Mitsubishi fans needn't worry. Speaking to Automotive News, Mitsubishi President Osamu Masuko said, "We have no intention whatsoever of withdrawing from the US market." That's about as clear as clear can get. It's also worth mentioning that Gayu Uesugi was just named chairman of Mitsubishi Motors North America, and his main responsibility will be to revitalize the brand in the US.
