The
1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 Twin Turbo was the last model year of this great grand
touring sports car. According to one source, only 274 were made to be imported to
the U.S. market with a fair number of these meeting a “grisly fate” (not sure
what that means but at least 10% are listed as totaled) making this the most
desirable and rare of this model with such low production run. The car offered
here is chassis number 152 and is the 249th one built.
This 3.0L, DOHC, V6 with MPI fuel injection, 24-valve, 320HP
twin-turbo, all wheel drive, 6-speed overdrive manual transmission, is all
black inside and out. This beautiful car is a
ONE OWNER
car and has
less
than
94, 000 miles
on
it and has never been in an accident. I bought this car in 1999 and it has been
in my possession since purchase. This is a stock car with no modifications except
I added a driver’s side seat heater (winters gets cold in Wisconsin). The car is
in excellent mechanical condition. For all the details pertaining to this
particular car, see the picture of the original car sticker. Original price sticker, car manual, 10-CD changer, retracting rear window sun shade / compartment hider, floor mats, cup holder tray in arm rest, ash tray, etc., all still present. Power
sun roof, power antenna, power side mirrors, power windows, etc., all work
great. This car runs like a dream. All oil changes and maintenance done per
schedule including the timing belt change at 60, 000 miles. The leather interior
seats are in great shape with no rips or tears except for one very small hole
in a rear seat. Also, due to stupidity on my part (long story and irrelevant
anyway…), there two (new) different styles of wheels on the car. Both very
nice, just not matching. Tires are like new.
The fine print
.
There are two current issues with this car. First is the left front anti-lock
brake sensor has failed. The brakes work great but this means that if you slam
on the brakes they will lock up like cars of old. Replace the sensor and all is
good. The other issue is that the power steering motor/pump is not operating.
The car is perfectly drivable but there is currently no power steering
requiring some arm strength at slow speed. Due to these relatively minor
deficiencies, I am pricing this rare and desirable car for a quick sale to the
lucky person who knows about these things and acts quickly. Will you be that
lucky person?
So why am I selling it? I’m 63 years old, own five cars and
a motorcycle and it’s time to start downsizing a bit. Besides, I now have
arthritis in the hips and it’s hard for me to get in and out of it. I love this
car and it’s been my baby for 16 years. But now it’s time for someone else to
love it.
Title is, of course, clear. This is a cash transaction or certified bank funds ONLY with
delivery to be done in a well-lit public place of my choosing if being picked
up. Also, any prior-purchase viewing will also be in a well-lit public place of
my choosing. If being transported, funds must clear before title transfer and
all transport fees, insurance, etc., are the responsibility of the buyer. No warranties are given or implied. Location
of this car is in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area.
Look at the pictures. You won’t be disappointed.
