Up for sale is my 1995 Mitsubishi Spyder VR4 with 56,500 miles. 

Vehicle History

I purchased vehicle 2 years ago and drove 2,300 miles on an awsome trip down I10 from Arizona to Florida.  The auto was owned by a gentleman in his 60's, and I am in my 50's.  It appears the vehicle has spent most of its life in the low humidity of Arizona.  Currently it is in a dehumidified garage in Florida.  Of the 56,500 miles, I have put on 14,000 in the last two years.  The car has no damage history. The unique aspect of this vehicle is it's low milage coupled with being a daily driver over the past two years. Recently I have found and purchased a 1997 VR4 with 28,500 miles locally.  Being the 1997 VR4 makes 3 3000gt's at the house, thought it might be a good idea to skinny down to two.    

Vehicle Condition

Exterior    The pictures taken we on 2/25/2013 and tell the story.  Most of the paint is original paint and although in near pristine condition, a close inspection will reveal scratches and some minor imperfections.  I had the trunk lid and convertible top repainted as the clear coat was showing its age.  The brand new paint and old look identical. 

Intererior    This is the origianl interior. The seats have some marks, as you can see in the picture, less than I would expect with a car of this age/miles.  Suprisingly the leading edge of the drivers seat (as you enter from the door) do not have the typical wear marks.

Mechanical     "Bone Stock" All maintenance is up to and ahead of date.  A full 60,000 mile maintenance is complete, including but not limited to timing belt, water pump, transmission inspection and flush, transfer case inspection, differential inspection.   New tires at 48,500 miles and the VR4 rims were cleaned and resealed so the tires will hold their air The tires appear to have 75% of its tread left.  Every button switch light system works on this car (well except one button)  The radio has two volume buttons one on the steering wheel and one  twist on/off button on the face of the radio.  The on off part works, but the twist part does change the volume, just never sure to what.  The steering wheel buttons work fine.  In 1995 and 1996 the radio has an AUX input which will accept Ipods/phone outputs.  Turbos sing like they should, and are original just like the rest of the car.  The trick to keeping your turbos happy and healthy is to allow the engine to cool (idle) before shut down.  The top works perfect.  Both hydrolic pumps which power the trunk and retractible hard top have had a complete flush and fresh hydrolic oil in July of 2012.  The only modification that has been done to this vehicle is the stock air cleaner has been replaced with a K&N air cleaner - Original air cleaner comes with car.

Pro's & Con's

Pro

The vehicle had an extremly limited production run in 1995/1996 consequntly few are available.  Take into account this vehicle is original with low miles makes it a collectors car.  The Spyders (turbos and NA too) have been showing some appreciation in value on the market over the past few years.

This car gets phographed every 2000 miles or so (that I am aware of).    This is the only 3000GT (of the 4 I have owned) which gets photographed. It is a conversation piece wherever you go. You will be asked questions about it! 

Currently in service as a daily driver, ready to go cross county

Low miles, Original, Mechanicaly up to date, No damage history, Never modded (except K&N air filter) - Original comes with the car for turning back to 100% stock.

Maserati Ghibli gets smashed on its way to Top Safety Pick rating [w/video]

Sat, 30 Nov 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has crash-tested the 2014 Maserati Ghibli, and the Italian luxury sedan scored has well enough to earn the institute's Top Safety Pick rating. The model netted "Good" marks - the IIHS' highest rating - in moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints and seats tests.
The new Maserati is equipped seven airbags and features strategic use of hot-formed steel to optimize vehicle strength for safety and aluminum to lower weight for better driving performance. While it still pains us to see two new Maseratis smashed to smithereens (watch the videos below), we imagine the company's well-heeled prospective owners will feel better about their $65,600+ purchases knowing that they aced the tests.
Head on below to see crash test videos from both the IIHS and Europe's NCAP, as well as for Maserati's official release, which covers some of the safety engineering that has gone into its new entry-level sedan.

2014 Maserati Quattroporte to get twin-turbo V6

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

As we wait for the Detroit Auto Show to get our up-close and in-depth look at the redesigned 2014 Maserati Quattroporte, some details are just starting to emerge about the car's powertrain, but nothing is official just yet. Autocar has posted a first drive of the new Quattroporte, finally spilling the beans about what motivates this sporty and luxurious sedan.
We already knew that the 2014 Quattroporte will offer two engines - a V6 and V8 - but what we didn't know is that both engines will get a pair of turbochargers and direct injection. Previously, we speculated that the smaller V6 would be supercharged, but this 3.0-liter V6 will get turbos instead helping it produce an estimated 410 horsepower. As for the larger 3.8-liter V8, this engine is said to produce 530 horsepower (confirming our previous report) to go with 479 pound-feet of torque; performance specs for the V8 include a top speed of 191 miles per hour and a 0-60 mph time of well under five seconds.
All cars will have a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive will be optional allowing for all of the engine power sent to the rear wheel during normal driving and a full 50/50 split between front and rear axles when needed. As we suspected, the 2014 Quattroporte has grown in size to better compete with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

Why Italians are no longer buying supercars

Wed, 08 May 2013

Italy is the wound that continues to drain blood from the body financial of Italian supercar and sports car makers. The wound was opened by the country's various financial police who decided to get serious about superyacht-owning and supercar-driving tax cheats a few years ago, by noting their registrations and checking their incomes. When it was found that a rather high percentage of exotic toy owners had claimed a rather low annual income - certain business owners were found to be declaring less income than their employees - the owners began dumping their cars and prospective buyers declined to buy.
Car and Driver has a piece on how the initiative is hitting the home market the hardest. Lamborghini sold 1,302 cars worldwide in 2010, 1,602 cars in 2011 and 2,083 cars in 2012 - an excellent surge in just two years. In Italy, however, it's all about the ebb: in 2010, the year that Italian police began scouring harbors, Lamborghini sold 96 cars in Italy, the next year it sold 72, last year it sold just 60. The declines for Maserati and Ferrari are even more pronounced.
Head over to CD for the full story and the numbers. What might be most incredible isn't the cause and effect, but where the blame is being placed. A year ago the chairman of Italy's Federauto accused the government of "terrorizing potential clients," this year Luca di Montezemolo says what's happening has created "a hostile environment for ­luxury goods." Life at the top, it ain't easy.
