Up for sale is one of the most iconic and sought after sports coupes ever made, nd the last turbocharged all-wheel-drive 2-door mid-size car Mitsubishi ever sold in the US - the 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4. It is extremely rare, s there were only 287 made and imported to the US. This car is chassis #148, ade on April 1st, 999 in Mitsubishi's Nagoya Plant in Japan.
This car is all original and stock, ith the exception of the wheels, ires, nd suspension.
Documentation
Included with the car is a folder containing documentation and receipts totaling over $4,000 for repairs and maintenance items.
Engine/Mechanical:
The engine runs perfectly and doesn't leak or burn any coolant or oil. No check engine or warning lights are present. The spark plugs are new NGK Platinums. A K&N Panel air filter was also added for better flow.
The valve cover gaskets were recently changed and there are no oil leaks around or underneath the engine bay. The timing belt, ater pump, ensioner, nd crank pulley were replaced this year with OEM Mitsubishi components, eceipts in hand.
The turbo wastegate solenoid was recently changed with an OEM Mitsubishi unit, nd all vacuum lines were replaced. The car comes into boost beautifully and has no signs of turbo wear in the intake stream.
New 3SX OEM motor mounts were installed last year. Solid mounts will be included as well.
The transmission was replaced with a brand new Getrag 6spd manual unit by the previous owner at 90k miles, s well as the clutch with an OEM unit. The car shifts very smoothly and no gears grind at any speed.
Exhaust:

The exhaust is the factory dual tailpipe unit that came with the car. The pre-cats were gutted by the previous owner to promote longevity of the turbos and give the car a bit more power throughout the rev range. The main catalytic converter is still in place and it will pass any emissions inspection in the US.
Interior:
The interior of this car is in amazing shape. The passenger's seat has some very slight bolster wear, ut there aren't any rips or tears in the leather. A new OEM Mitsubishi shift knob and real leather shift boot were installed. All functions works perfectly and the car is a great smoke-free example of the most desirable color combination VR4.
Exterior:
The car's exterior is in great shape, ith no major dings or dents on the bodywork. The paint code is R71 Caracas Red and is all original with no repainted panels. The bodywork has a few small blemishes. There is a slight nickel-sized ding on the very front of the hood and also a few scratches and scuff marks on the corners of the car. The sunroof has about 1/4 inch of slight paint bubbling in the center near the rubber seal, nd the front bumper and hood have rock chips from age, ut nothing unreasonable for a car that's nearly 20 years old. The paint looks spectacular and buffs to a high gloss without issue.
Suspension:
The car's suspension is in amazing shape. It consists of a Tein Type Flex adjustable coilovers with EDFC. The dampening of the suspension can be controlled from inside the car, n the fly with 3 customizable settings. The car has been lowered approximately 1.8 inches and has no rubbing issues at all. Outer tie rod ends were replaced one month ago with OEM replacements.
Wheels/Tires:
The wheels are brand new Rota P45R 18x9.5 wheels, ith 265/35/18 tires all around. This combination is one of the best looking and performing combinations for this car, ar none. The front tires are Continental ContiSport Z-rated tires, nd rears are Pirelli PZero Z-rated, ach with around 50-60 percent tread depth remaining with no signs of camber wear. There is very minimal road noise and the car handles like it's on rails.
Electronics/Audio:
The audio system is the premium Infinity CD/Tape/Aux unit that originally came with the car. The optional Mitsubishi 6-CD changer is included in the trunk, ut it's missing its CD magazine. All speakers and functions work like new, ith new Infiniti Reference speakers installed in the doors. All lights and switches work flawlessly. Two keys and one keyless fob are included.
An aftermarket 6500K HID kit is installed in the headlights.
Air Conditioning:
AC blows ice cold and heat blows hot through all vents. No issues at all, o matter how hot or cold the weather gets
Brakes:
The brakes are in great condition and don't exhibit any grinding with lots of life left on the pads, ut can pulsate slightly at speeds above 80 miles per hour. The rotors could stand to be replaced within the next few months. Everything works as it should and brake fluid was topped up and checked recently. Parking brake holds the car flawlessly.

Miscellaneous:
This car was previously owned and written about by a well known car blogger. In case there was any confusion over the pictures. Immediately after I purchased it, was offered a Black 3000gt VR4. Black is far and away my favorite color on the VR4, nd I jumped at it. Seeing as I don't need two of these vehicles, am doing a quick sale on this one.
