anyone who knows me, knows how much i love my car and knows how hard this is for me. i've owned the car about 1 and 1/2 years and baby it to death. It has never been to the track. and never raced from a launch (ie, raced from a roll on the highway VERY rarely).
The car is in *MINT* condition. Anyone who has seen my car in person can attest to this. the paint is in EXCELLENT condition. It looks like it's brand new. The engine bay is CLEAN. The interior is near MINT. the drivers side seat has no tears, rips, worn spots, etc in the leather.
there is one chip above the front wheel well on the passenger side, and a few very minor scratches along the rear bumper from a parking attendant that didn't know how to do his job (hardly noticable, but as i said, i'm VERY VERY picky about my car, and i know every inch of it and the slightest blemish annoys me) there is also a SMALL dent on the rear quarter panel on the drivers side. it's ONLY noticable in the side-view mirror when the light hits it just right... it annoys the ever living sh*t outta me, but it's probably no bigger than a pea. the under-side of the front bumper is scratched up from a bad bottom'ing out i had the first summer i owned the car. it is not noticable unless you are laying under the car looking up at it. the paint around the area is not peeling/flaking/etc. the flaws i pointed out, are not really noticable at all. chances are you won't find many others (if any) in this good of condition (unless they've been recently repainted/repaired).
i have a LOT of pictures of my car, the link is at the bottom of this post.
mechanically, the car is in near-excellent condition also. the turbo's spool up quickly, the car pulls hard WOT, it shifts great. the clutch, throw out bearing, timing belt, and water pump will be replaced before the car is sold.
DETAILS:
Pearl White 1995 3000GT Vr-4
electric sunroof (no ECS)
~120,000 miles (i bought the car with 70,000 miles march 30, 2003. most of the miles since then are highway miles on I-684... and for anyone who doesn't know, it's a recently re-paved highway, so, it's great for cruising it also was the highway i took back and forth to school and home two times a week... it's approx a 2 hr drive each way... so, the miles added up quickly)
dark charcoal leather interior
clear corners
MITSUBISHI lettering removed off drivers side of the rear bumper
17" Mille Miglia Spider rims with Pirelli Pzero Nero tires (all weather)
smoked front windows... they're not tinted, but the glass itself has a smoke-tint to it.
new door and rear speakers, kenwood, also the stock tweeters started crackling, so new ones are on the way within the next few days.
polished plenum and valve cover (i may keep these, because chances are i will be buying another 3/S, probably in the spring)
the spark plugs were replaced at the same time the polished stuff was installed along with all new gaskets, etc. (approx 25k miles ago)
the thermostat was replaced about 10k miles ago along with flushing the coolant system.
Greddy Type-S BOV
replaced the stock shift boot with a real leather shift boot off e-bay (dark gray, matches the interior exactly)
bradi slotted rotors
hawk pads (F type?? i forget exactly what they're called) the hawk pads were only installed about 10,000 miles ago.
i can't think of anything else off the top of my head. I'm located in Carmel, NY... 1 hour north of NYC and about 1 and 1/2 - 2 hours south'ish of Albany.
Mechanically and Aesthetically, the car is in BETTER condition than when i bought it (with ~70,000 miles on it March 30, 2003).
price is $14.5k OBO.
