Re: Interested in a low mile car?

While we are on the same note, I also ran by a red 91 that is the cleanest looking dsm I have ever seen. Even the engine bay looks spotless and like it just rolled off the assembly line. Wanted to know what everyone thought about it.

It is a Second owner car, TSi trim level (cloth interior), 2.0L Turbo, All Wheel Drive (AWD), 5-speed manual transmission. All receipts and records since new, along with original window sticker. Serviced at local Mitsubishi dealership. Transfer case recall fix performed recently as well. Oil changed religiously every 3,500mi with Mobil 1 Full Synthetic using OEM Mitsubishi filters, always turbo-timed at shutoff, and only used 93 octane fuel. BG Synchroshift / GM Synchromesh transmission fluid used in transmission.

*upgrades*

Replaced stock turbo approx 1yr ago with new "Evo III" Big 16G model. Replaced stock manifold with new "Evo III" hi-flow manifold as well. 2.5" Archer Racing (Borla) Stainless Steel downpipe, Hi-flow cat, and 3" Thermal R&D Stainless Steel exhaust. Hallman Manual Boost Controller, K&N cone filter, 2.5" Upper Intercooler Pipe and throttle body elbow, Autometer Carbon Fiber Boost and A/F ratio gauges, Blitz FATT DC Turbo Timer. ACT2100 clutch and pressure plate, OEM throwout bearing. KYB AGX adjustable shocks front and rear, H&R Sport Springs, front strut tower brace, RAxles front CV axles.

*new / replaced items*

Timing belt/water pump changed at 141kmi. Tires are Nokian WR A/S in stock 205/55-16 size, @ 50% tread. New battery and new OEM alternator, new OEM radiator, new cooling system hoses, new OEM ignition coil, new OEM plug wires, new NGK plugs, replaced ECU, head rebuild performed by dealer recently, new OEM brake lines and proportioning valve, new gas tank, new OEM fuel pump assembly and sending unit, new OEM clutch slave cylinder, new windshield.

*the bad*

150,000 miles, Car has been sitting for close to a year. Original 1991 paint. R-12 A/C works, system has no known leaks, but needs refill of refrigerant or R-134a conversion. There is a small dent in front passenger fender from blind driver in a parking lot.

He is looking for $3,500 and could possibly already be sold, was pending a sale on 11/20.
