Very Rare 1989 Mitsubishi Montero 2 Door 5 Speed 4x4 on 2040-cars
Woodland Park, Colorado, United States
For sale is a sweet and extremely well maintained, garage kept, 1989, gas 2 doors, 4-wheel drive, 6 CYL, 20 to 22 MPG, a 5 speed manual transmission, SUV with only 174,421 miles and a clean and clear title. The engine and body are in excellent condition with most repair records from prior and current owner. She rides and drives very nicely and would be a fine reliable low maintenance car for a college student. Or, if you want to take it hill climbing this little thing goes anywhere you want it to go. At the time, this SUV was built for direct competition against the Land Rover and was rated the better SUV.
This 1989 Montero is a very rare and hard to find SUV in this excellent of condition. It shows less than average wear and tear than normal. It comes with the original owner's manual, jack and jack crank are original and in place. It’s a rare, unmolested survivor. This little SUV is tight, no rattles, bangs or squeaks. You will be amazed once you drive it.
You will love this classic Montero’s nice looks and great ride with fantastic reliability that is not produced in today's cars. The only reason I am selling this Montero is because I just bought a 4 door 1990 Montero with 195,000 miles on her. The only thing you must do is change the oil about every 3k and it can, as my old Montero, run forever. The 1989 Montero burns no oil and does not blow smoke on start up or while running. A 1989 Raider (Montero) sold on eBay a couple of month ago for $7000+. These SUVs are truly getting harder to find especially in this condition.
Please contact me with any questions. Bid with confidence!

Even Consumer Reports is savaging the Mitsubishi Mirage
Tue, 24 Jun 2014When we reviewed the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage a few months ago, we absolutely hated it. Our conclusion was that if you needed a car in this segment to either pay a few hundred dollars more for a Chevy Spark or spend less for an entry-level Nissan Versa. Basically, avoid this Mitsubishi at all costs. It turns out that we weren't the only ones who despised it. Consumer Reports can often find something positive about just about any vehicle, but even the usually gentle publication struggles to find compliments when it comes to the Mirage.
It's most serious gripe concerns the model's handling. CR describes the way that the Mirage wallows around turns with tons of body lean even at low speeds as "scary." A little car with a curb weight of 2,051 pounds just shouldn't corner this poorly.
While Consumer Reports definitely has no love when it comes to the 2014 Mirage, finding something to dislike about practically every aspect of the vehicle from its powertrain to the interior, the reviewers do end up digging out one positive aspect. You'll have to scroll down and watch the video to find out what it is.
Mitsubishi exec says Evo 'will be replaced in spirit' by high-po hybrid SUV
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Stop us if you've heard this one: According to Autocar, the current generation will be the last Mitsubishi Evolution we will ever see.
That, while unfortunate for driving enthusiasts, is a reality we've had plenty of time to digest. The days of wanton fuel burning for the sake of speed and power will soon come to an end. But that doesn't mean the days of performance have to die, too. "Green is still fun to drive," said Mitsubishi UK boss Lance Bradley in a conversation with Autocar. "It's a challenge to make it fun, but not a particularly difficult one. Electric vehicle performance is very good."
So, should we expect a new hybrid sedan to take up the mantle left by the Evo? Not so much. The British magazine quotes Kanenori Okamoto of Mitsubishi as saying, "It will be replaced in spirit by an SUV with high performance," which will apparently incorporate lessons learned in the automaker's efforts at Pikes Peak. The Mitsubishi MiEV Evolution III, which handily broke the EV record at the famed mountain course, will donate much of its high-performance, zero-emissions technology to the project, including its Super All Wheel Control four-wheel-drive system.
Mitsubishi boss says US operations may break even next year
Sat, 23 Nov 2013Mitsubishi has lost money in its North America operations every year since 2007, but in an interview at this week's Tokyo Motor Show, company president Osamu Masuko said, "If things keep going well, it might be the case that we break even this year," Automotive News reports.
A little context: Last month Mitsubishi predicted that it would lower its operating loss in the region to 4-billion yen ($40.7 million) by March 31, the end of the fiscal year, well below the previous fiscal year's operating loss of more than five times that amount. Reflecting that, production at the Japanese automaker's sole North American factory in Normal, Illinois, has grown to 56,630 vehicles through October, compared to 27,339 through the same period last year.
The plant makes the Outlander Sport for the US and for export to markets such as Russia, the Middle East and Latin America. Interestingly, out of the 56,630 Outlander Sports built at the Illinois plant through October, only 20,150 were sold in the US.
