You are bidding on a CLASSIC 1998 Mitsubishi Montero. I'm just going to be pretty straight with everything, this car has been my tank, get the job done, no playing around car since we bought it back in '98 (the good ole days). All 194k miles are family owned and have been quite adventurous. If you are looking for a car to not only get you from A to B and maybe over a few mountains through the woods to granny's house. Yes, the mileage is rather high, however, this baby has thousands of more miles left, or can be used as a utility car (what I have been using it for) to help load that wood for the fence you are building or maybe some mulch for the lawn.
Pros:
-Car runs and gets about 17mpg (not too shabby for a '99)
-Sound system works
-Power seats, heated seats
-Moon roof
-Tank, drives through snow and tornadoes...
-Utility, seats about 7 to 8 people
-4 wheel drive
-Fully functional (lights, turn signals, brights, everything operates fine)
-Working AC and Heat
-Power windows
Cons:
-Normal wear and tear for a 14 year car with over 190k miles on it (rips, scrapes, etc. dings and dongs, no major body damage however)
-Rust, this is a 14 year car so there will be rust throughout the engine and undercarriage, has yet to affect me yet though
-Driving- the car needs a new transmission module (about $79)
-Further explain: Car drives fine, but without the transmission module you have to drive the car in L (Low gear), then shift to 2 (2nd Gear), then shift to D (Drive). I havent gotten this replaced because I actually enjoy it a little, makes me feel like I'm driving a sports car with manual trans. I can give a demo of how easy and simple it really is. Plus I get better gas mileage out of it, I've gotten about 24mpg on highways at times
-Trunk, the back trunk door does not open, it hasn't for years and hasnt really affected me to fix it, seems like the lock just had a electrical short something not sure but the seats come down so I just throw the grass seed and supplies from the rear doors, I am sure you can easily get this fixed.
-Age: lets be honest, if you are trying to use this as a commuter car, I am not too sure how many miles you can push this, I drive it about 5 miles to the bus stop everyday to get to the city, and on weekends around 100miles or more if I have to pick some furniture someone is selling on craigslists.
OVERALL:
This car will get you through any weather and easily through the NY snows we have, I have driven it all throughout the winter and it drives strong. Its an old car with a whole lot of heart and just needs a new home. Yes it has a few downsides but what car of this age doesn't, if you really want to you can turn this into a great project car or something. It has a lot of potential and many miles left.
If interested do not hesitate to call or message me 8453251033.
I can offer Buy Now for in the $2250 range or less which is much lower than KBB value already but just shoot me an offer and I can see what I can do, I recently got a Land Rover and just don't need the car anymore for much. Also the cash can contribute to my many travels abroad and around because I am in the Army. THIS IS A MAN CAR THAT WILL GET THE JOB DONE!
GO ARMY! GOD BLESS!
KBB VALUE: $3503
NOTE: Ignore the VIN number, that is for my other car but I left this car at my parents house and forgot to get the VIN, however, if wanted I can call and get it from them. I can only have a select number of cars on the Army post and with the addition of the Rover I had to leave it at my parents which live in Monroe, NY Orange County so only 15 min away from me.

Mitsubishi recalling 2013 Outlander Sport for suspension issue
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Just 305 units of the 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport are the subject of a recall over a potential suspension issue. Crossovers made from January 17-25 of this year might suffer from a bad weld on the front left strut's stabilizer link. If it fails, damage to the brake hose or tire could result, in turn making steering or braking control of the compact CUV more difficult.
When the recall begins, owners can take their Outlander Sports to Mitsubishi dealers for inspection and replacement of the strut assembly if necessary. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin below has more information.
Mitsubishi CA-MiEV and GR-HEV concepts peek out before debut
Mon, 04 Mar 2013We're getting a look at the two star Mitsubishi concept cars from this year's Geneva soiree, just ahead of the official debut for both. As suits Mitsubishi's ever-deepening interest in electrified vehicles, the brace of concepts both make use of electric drive: the CA-MiEV being a pure electric vehicle and the GR-HEV using a diesel-electric powertrain.
The CA-MiEV concept car may look a bit like a photoshopped Toyota Prius, but in fact the car employs a new electric motor and battery system from Mitsu. We're told that the EV has a theoretical range of 186 miles, which is nearly double the range of most EVs on the market today and approaches Tesla territory. The vehicle is larger than the company's current i-MiEV, and would seem to point the way forward for a more mainstream production EV from Mitsu.
The second concept, a rather odd-looking pickup truck called the GR-HEV, has a diesel engine, electric motor, all-wheel drive, and Mitsubishi's Super All Wheel Control. The front fascia bears a version of the grille we've seen on the new Outlander PHEV, with more radically raked (sort of "smiling") lighting elements.
Long-serving Mitsubishi president Masuko to step aside
Fri, 31 Jan 2014Long-struggling Mitsubishi Motors is reportedly preparing for a changing of the guard at home. According to Reuters, Osamu Masuko will step aside in favor of Tesuro Aikawa, currently the company's managing director. Masuko won't be leaving the fold entirely, however - he will take the role of chairman, displacing Takashi Nishioka, who will resign. The shakeup has not been confirmed by Mitsubishi, but word is that the changes will take effect April 1.
Mitsu's US troubles are no secret, but the brand's struggles in its home market haven't been quite so publicized. The company was bailed out by other arms of the Mitsubishi empire, and it just raised $2 billion this month to buy back preferred shares that were issued during the bailout. Masuko served as president for nearly ten years, during which the brand's US efforts utterly stalled out, recalls cropped up in Japan and an alliance with Daimler (which was DaimlerChrysler at the time) disintegrated.
According to Reuters, establishing the kind of alliances that will allow the brand to grow, such as its tie-up with Renault-Nissan, are key to Mitsu's long-term success. The thought is that an alliance will allow the brand to come up with some innovative models that won't be compromised by its lack of production scale. It looks like Aikawa has his work cut out for him.
