1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT Spyder VR-4 Convertible 2-Door 3.0L

Relisting due to a non-paying buyer. How fun! But, t least this is another chance for someone to get the car that really wants it:

Up for sale is a 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 Spyder. I am going to assume that if you are truly interested in this car then you probably already know a little about it, o I won't go into production numbers or rarity or anything like that. All of that is easily obtained by a quick online search. So, ithout further ado:

The Good:
This is a nice working example of a rare, ard to find car. A twin turbo V6 with a six speed transmission, ll wheel drive and anti lock brakes, his car is pretty much as close as you can get to exotic car performance without having to shell out $100,000, ot to mention a hard top convertible that retracts within 30 seconds! There are a few cosmetic defects, etailed below, ut otherwise it is mechanically sound. It starts, tops, nd runs as expected. The air conditioning cools, nd the heater heats. All power accessories work, indows, ocks, eats, tc. All glass is clear without defect. The rear defroster defrosts. There are no fluid leaks. Best of all, he top works! I decided to put 20" rims on it when I purchased it (because, hy not?) but the car will come with the factory set as well, o you will receive two full sets of wheels and tires. Everything else is factory standard, ncluding the stereo. There have been no modifications. The car has never been in an accident and still has the original paint. The mileage is very low for the year, hich should help for future collectability. I purchased the car in 2005 with 49,000 miles on it, o I have put 30,000 on it in the last 9 years.This was purchased as a third car, oI pretty much only drove it in the summer or on sunny days, p until a couple of years ago when it became my second car/daily driver.

The Bad:
While the car operates well, here are a few issues, ome of which are noted issues with the car in general. Typical issues with the 3000GT in general are:
1) The rear view mirror is cloudy, nd a little loose. I'm used to it so have never replaced it.
2) There is some clear coat peeling on the rear spoiler.
3) The Tour/Sport indicator light is flashing, eaning there is an issue with the ECS (Electronic Controlled Suspension.) It is an electronic activation of the hardness or softness of the struts, epending on the mode you select. I have never noticed too much difference between the two, oit has not been enough of a pressing issue for meto fix it.
4) The factory wheels have some curbing andchrome peeling.
Issues with this car specifically:
1) The power antenna will not retract fully into the body, ut sticks up a few inches. It will still extend and retract when the stereo is in use, t just won't go all the way in. I actually had just put a new one in a couple of years ago, ut hit a branch overhanging the street last year, utting a small dent in the shaft. And that's as far as it will go now.
2) There is a scrape mark that goes across the gas cap area that was caused by a bolt in the shelving in my garage.
3) There is a small dent in the front right fender, aused by my wife when she knocked a can of paint off of a shelf. Pink paint. That spilled all over. Yes, he is still alive. And yes, e are still married. I know, eird, ight?
4) The driver's seat has a tear down one seam. It is on the seam, o it should be fairly easy to fix.
5) There is some damage to the rear bumper from a hit and run. Sigh.
6) The rubber seals for the top are running almost 20 years old, o they have hardened a little bit in their old age. This means the top will not seal fully when in the closed position, o I would not recommend running it through a car wash or parking it outdoors in inclement weather for any long periods of time. Standard driving in rainy weather, r short term parking outdoors are not much of a problem but I would recommend keeping it in a garage, s I have. I have heard of products you can use that will soften up the rubber, ut have yet to try anything. While the top does open and close completely, ometimes you have to push the button a couple of times for it to complete the full cycle.
7) There are miscellaneous other little nicks and scrapes that would not be uncommon on a20 year old car, ost of which could be buffed out. Just trying to say that this is not showroom condition if that is what you are expecting.

The Ugly:
There is nothing ugly about this car =;-}

The Beautiful:
This car is a blast to drive! It may not be the fastest car on the road, ut it is faster than most, orners well, nd brakes almost as fast as it goes. If you want to drive circles around most of the cars out there, his will do just that. Lowering or raising the top is an instant attention getter, r conversation starter if you're looking for one. It is just heavenly to drive around with the top down on a nice, unny day. I always feel like I am on vacation, ven if I am just driving to or from work. It's a great stress reliever! Factor in the low production run and the scarcity of running examples, nd this car is poised to be a future hot collectible.

I am open to consider any reasonable offers. Remember, ou will be receiving two complete sets of wheels and tires! In reality, do not really want to sell the car, ut financial concerns dictate a sale, nd to top all that off I just broke my right arm so I can't even drive it now. Makes a perfect opportunity for someone who wants to drive it this summer!

The car is being sold as is, ith no warranty or any other guarantee. I would prefer a local buyer, r at least meeting the buyer here to pick it up, ut I am open to shipping out of state as well. Shipping must be arranged and paid for by the buyer. I can deliver the vehicle pretty much anywhere within the Pacific Northwest, ithin reason. A deposit of $1000 must be made by PayPal within two days of purchase, ith the remainder due by cashiers check or cash within seven days, nless other arrangements are made and agreed upon. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions on the vehicle before making a purchasing decision.

Thank you for checking out my listing. I hope that she can go to a good home :-)
