FS/FT: 1997 Mitsu 3000GT VR4 (Full '99 Conversion)
I am posting this car for a friend. He is trying to get as much market exposure as possible and asked for a favor to see if there is any interest on here.
I can vouch for this car and it is seller. Clean 3000GT/Stealth platforms are getting harder to find and this is definitely one of the nicest I have seen (I own a '92 Stealth T/T). I would probably buy this car if I didn't just take out a car loan for a new daily.
The language from here forward is his from him main FS post on a different forum.
GENERAL:
1997 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4
72,051 original mileage (as I type this)
Clean Title (No accidents, cover-ups, Bull sh*t, etc)
It's an adult owned car with serious care.
Meticulously maintained and drives great!
Very good/Excellent condition both inside and out (It's really clean!)
**This is NOT a project car**
It is not gutted, deleted or stripped, etc.
It is a full factory weighted VR4 with daily reliability, performance and luxury
I'm writing a full detail so the potential buyer/trader have no surprises.
Background: For those who needs to know everything. This has been my daily driver and has served me extremely well. I bought the car in 2013 with 60K original miles. I am the second owner. The first was an older male in his 40's. It was his trophy. The car was bone-dry stock the day I bought it and all maintenance, preventative maintenance, and upgrades began with me using only OEM parts or brand new, high-quality parts/brand.
The full 60K service was done within a week of owning the car which includes, timing belt, alternator belt, water pump, idler tensioner, pulley, spark plugs and wires, etc.
My VR4 has been setup to be a great starting platform for a fully built engine. Or can be left as-is for daily reliability with "powar"!
Reason: I'm going to be honest, I'm just not in love with the car like I was when I had my 99 SOHC. Simple as that. I could return everything back to stock to maximize cash return, but I'm just not motivated.
EXTERIOR:
Full 1999 Conversion
-99 Front bumper

New window strips. Original windows stickers still in-tact (Audio sticker on passenger side and warranty? on driver's side)
There are two very minor digs on the PS side. You probably wouldn't notice unless I told you (which I am). Did not scratch on the paint. Both can be removed via painless dent removal.

DRIVETRAIN:
-New PST 2pc-hybrid driveshaft (purchased via 3SX.com)

-Stock Amp and headunit with a 10 disk cd changer in the trunk
-FM radio never worked (never bothered to fix it). AM works.
-AEM failsafe wideband/boost gauge/logger
PRICE:
$13,500 or a trade that could be worth my wild. We all know how 19T turbos perform. Tune this car and it will be a rocket.
Please consider the condition of my VR4. It is not your craigslist VR4. It's one of the cleanest I've actually seen and actually runs like a champ. All leather is in great condition, etc. I've poured quite a bit into this build with brand new parts and had everything done right the first time. I'd prefer to sell it exactly as it is.
TRADES:
-An e36 M3, perferably in the same condition as my VR4
-An 2008 Audi A3 Wagon
-An EVO 8
-Something you think would be worth my wild
