Mitsubishi 3000GT for Sale

About a month ago I bought a 1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 for just over $4000. The car had 145k on the odometer, but the seller had the papers to prove that the motor and transmission are freshly rebuilt with only 4k miles on the rebuild. Lucky me. I drove the car 2 and a half hours on ride home, and have daily driven it since. Comfort is not the greatest in these cars. The ride is stiff, and there is constant road noise, especially traveling down the highway. Performance wise, this car has it all. Straight line acceleration is stratospheric, and the brakes feel like they might rip your face off. All Wheel Drive and All Wheel Steering make the car handle very, very well. However, at night, the dim dashlights make it hard to see how fast you are going, and this car does attract alot of attention. Both good and bad. I will provide an update in a few months time.

owned this car for 2 years now, have replaced transmission,clutch,02 sensors,fuel filter, slave cylinder, master cylinder, tires, alignment, tie rods, brakes, etc throughout the problems i love this car and enjoy driving it very much

Very fun to drive are! However interior is a tight fit, and not very well designed. But mine has certainly treated me well with the only maintenence required being a new cluch which needs replacing eventually on every car.

Got her in 2001 with 84000 miles it's a 95 vr4 so it was time to give a pedicure and oh boy did we this car has done things that today I have not replicated in many of my sports cars and today I still take her out on that Sunday curvey back road that I know all to well that know one travels much and let those twins and all wheel drive and steering pin you back to a negative 2g show up and show out this car handles like its on rails and i currently only have 405 hp soon to be close to 600 and new gear ratio lose the 6 speed and make it a 5 speed but --- xxxx the take off is un-real boost it off the line just right and oh baby hang on if any one has a chance to find a vr4 that has not been cut up and missed used and you make it your on better do it I've had My 18 years and I never look back it just keeps getting better lol.

The Mitsubishi 3000GT is a fun and sporty car to drive. It has excellent handling and cornering capabilities.

The body lines are classic and it gets attention everywhere I go in it. People tend to look at it and are amazed that it is 20 years old. For a base model it has all sport features in a sports car that you could ever want.

I wanted a VR-4 for years and finally bought one when I found one at a dealership a reasonable distance away. I have never owned a really nice car before, and the experience of people staring and honking when you drive by is pretty awesome. Even 18+ years later this car still draws attention, and it’s completely stock! As if it wasn’t enough to drive a ’looker,’ the performance is also amazing. This is such a fun car to drive. The turbos kick in like you’ve been rear ended around 2,000 RPM and you are on the brakes to avoid a ticket before you know it. The all wheel drive means not an ounce of power is wasted in this car. The vehicle has so much rubber on the road that I have yet to make the tires squeal. Styling: check. Performance: check. Comfort’ Check! Unlike most sports cars, this vehicle has both sporty handling and a sedan like cruising experience. The ECS (electronically controlled suspension) and large wheels give a vehicle a very smooth ride over rough pavement. The seats in this car are very comfortable, and highly adjustable. In general I hate leather upholstery, but because the seats are well ventilated you don’t end up glued to the seat. The automatic climate control functions admirably and makes you forget that there is weather outside the car. The community surrounding this car is phenomenal as well. Any questions I have had about this car were easily solved by browsing forums and asking other enthusiasts. There are even step by step illustrated guides for rebuilding the transmission! Overall, it is the dream car I always hoped it would be. I couldn’t be more pleased. I plan to drive this car `til the day I die!

Outstanding performance in this car would make a perfect race car or drift car first thing I would do would put slanted a orange and a frames in it to make it slide smoother with rinsing expansion and small Tire dots

My Vechicle needs some TLC but over all it's a nice car !!!Also all cars from To time needs a little work there is no car ever built perfect because us humans are not perfect only God is!!!

Bought the car after it had sat in someone's backyard for over 5 years. Minimum effort to restore and is amazing.

Love the style. Hugs the road. Handles great. Very sporty. Good ac. Nice sound system. Leg room. Peppy. Pilot cockpit. Gas milage is a plus.

I've owned my 95 pearl white VR-4 for 8 years now and it's been a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows. This car is not for the faint of heart. You have to love this car enough not to flinch when the $5000 repair bill comes in. They are expensive to maintain! And maintain them you must of you want to avoid catastrophic failures. These cars were packed with all the latest technology of the day: Twin cam, twin turbo, twin intercooler, V6. AWD, All wheel steering, 6 speed manual, 320hp, active aero, automatic climate control with an animated, full color LCD display, power seat, leather....the list goes on. All this stuff is fantastic when working, but after 20 years there is a good chance a lot of this stuff can break down. The main mechanical issues are spun rod bearings from oil starvation due to a dented oil pan. So check that before you buy. Also the transmission synchros tend to wear out quickly. That aside, it's an absolute blast to drive! It is the most underrated sports car to come out of Japan in the 90s. With the small turbos that boost at 2000 rpm and the awd, this car rockets off the line! You do start to feel the 3,700 lb weight of the thing at higher speeds. Handling is fantastic for a car this heavy! It has predictable understeer when pushed to the limits, but the awd and aws provides unyielding grip on the corners. The styling is unique with a coke bottle like silhouette and air scoops in the front and on the side rocker panels. Is has a lot of unusual styling ques, fake plastic rear quarter windows displaying a twin turbo sticker were used to cover the large B pillars. The scoops in the side rocker panels and the rear splitter are fake. Also there are 2 blisters on the hood that were needed to clear the shock towers. It's almost like the engineering and design teams missed all their pre production meetings and ended up just tacking this stuff on as an afterthought. The result is a busy design, but it works and makes for an eye catching exterior. The car is over 6ft wide and has a very aggressive stance. The cockpit is pure luxury with supple gathered leather seats and door cards. The soft, sculpted plastic surrounds the driver and and passenger as the doors melt seamlessly into the very high dash. There is a large arching binnacle carved in front of the driver which houses giant, easy to read gauges. To the right, the dash curves in towards the driver and 3 smaller binnacles house gauges that point towards the driver like a triple gauge shotgun. The centerpiece of the sculpture is most beautiful auto climate control screen you will ever see. The full color lcd display is large and bright with animated effects for the different zones. The stock infinity radio provides crisp sound and even has an equalizer. My only complaint is the buttons are scattered randomly about the cabin and some are out of site and hard to reach behind the steering wheel. The 6 speed shifts are short but not very crisp. This can be remedied by replacing the bushings with solid brass and installing a short shifter. This has become a very rare Japanese gem so get one before prices start to climb. Also spend the extra money to get a clean, low mileage example like I did, you'll thank me later!

I received fast and accurate service. I got the best deal on the web and couldn't ask for a better price. It was the best car buying I have ever experienced. Thank you.

When I saw this car I fell in love. It cost $$$, but I wanted it sooo bad. I hid it from family to avoid taking it back. My other car was for work, My Dream Car was for escape. ENGINE: Professional repairs (compact so $$). Replaced air conditioning. Front collision will total. MAINTENANCE: Fluids easily changed;Tires replaced yearly;Tie Rods often;Engine reliable;Clutch reliable;Brake change rare due to manual trans. ALL WHEEL DRIVE = great control on rain, ice & turns. ANTILOCK BRAKES= no new airbags. COCKPIT: Twin turbo gauge;Heat panel is unique;Seat adjustable to brace me at corners; Fold down backseat(cargo);Stereo has a no skip 6 disc changer, steering wheel controls, tape deck & Infinity speakers. SECURITY SYSTEM: Auto sets when locking doors outside;Pull out ignition disabler;Remote;Doors don't lock if key in ignition & door open;Ignition cutoff,Coded stereo. EXTERIOR: Sporty;Paint lasts;Looks like jet when all is open;Chrome Wheels pit;Low profile tires go flat often, alignment garages rare;Aero went out. I dented front fender, yet still get compliments. POWER: With 320 hp & twin turbo, I blow away most at stoplight. They close slowly, so I don't have to speed . I still get it up to 120 mph & it handles great.

I cant tell you how good of a deal this car is and the value you get for the money. I bought my 94 Bright red manual with 173K for under 3K. Car has a new paint job and found some Vr4 18 inch chrome rims I found on craigs list to put on the car and it makes it look like a 10K vehicle and no real differece from the outside from the Vr4. Gets looks everywhere you go. Car runs and looks great and love it being a manual. I plan to use it as a weekend driver moving forward. You cant get a better looking and to note quite dependable car with good gas mileage for the price. The car was way ahead its time and followed the starion which I owned and loved as well. Its a shame Mitsubishi stopped producing sexy performance vechicles cause they dont make anythig exciting anymore. Only complaint is its hard to get in and out and if your over 6 feet tall you almost hit the roof. Defninately highly recommended and you can find one for dirt cheap. Hold onto yours and treat her well cause they will be a classic down the road :)

I will own another one again one day. My son talked me into buying. Little did I know it was a rental and then was handed down to a teenager who I feel abused and it was later confirmed. If you can get one that's been well maintained, then you shouldn't have too many problems with it. I did end up dumping several thousands of dollars into it before the trans axle went out on it. I regretfully sold it and miss it terribly. It ran wonderful and I won every race. (Partly because I know how to drive a stick). The motor was very strong and dependable. I had problems with having to replace suspension parts like control arms shocks etc. rear shocks costs over $800. If you can afford to keep the car repaired it's a fun car to drive. It actually did well in the snow too once I put new tires on it due to it being front wheel drive. That's a big plus. Love and miss my 3000 GT

This car is so much fun to own! It made just normal driving from place to place so much fun. All my friends want rides and love riding in it because of the great handling.

Although this car is older it still looks great. It has a very sporty look and it performs well. Plently of room for upgrading inside or out. Their are a wide variety of aftermarket parts and they are affordable. Great looks and value.

I love to drive this car because I enjoy to see people turning their heads to get a better look at the car as I drive by. The car looks showroom new!

I loved driving the 3000 GT VR-4. I was always ready to go faster. I never got a speeding ticket, as I did with my Toyota GT-R, because it was just fun to be on the road in this car and I did not want to risk loosing the privilege. I sold to another lucky guy at 150,000 miles. Now I want another one...
