Earlier this week, I discovered the right use for all that more money you might have lying around — a 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 with only 27,300 miles on it. Would it not be expensive? Sure. On the time of writing, bidding is already as much as $55,000. Plus, no matter regardless of the winning bid finally ends up being, the fee to purchase a 3000GT VR-4 is basically only a down payment on the whole cost of keeping one in every of these items on the road. I mean, sure, it’s Japanese, but these items are complicated, and parts are getting harder to seek out now that they are sufficiently old to rent a automobile.
But while almost everyone wants a ’90s sports automobile with a twin-turbo V6, manual transmission, all-wheel drive, rear-wheel steering and energetic aero, not everyone was convinced. Loads of you identified that the automobile comes with an obvious flaw — it simply is not complicated enough. What you wish is something even harder to take care of and repair, and I get that. Who wants a automobile that just works? The excellent news, though, is that Cars & Bids has you covered. All you might have to do is provide you with the winning bid, and your prayers will probably be answered. Your dreams will come true.
Yes, I’m talking about this 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 Spyder in Caracas Red, and yes, that is a 30-year-old power-retractable hardtop. I’m sure it could be fantastic, though. It could totally be fantastic.
Zero risk in anyway
Now, this automobile is not perfect. The Series 3 cars looked significantly cooler than the Series 2s did, and as a 1995 model, this one is unquestionably Series 2. It also has 100,200 miles on the odometer, which is a much greater number than the 1999’s 27,300 miles, but come on. It is a 30-year-old Japanese automobile. Do you actually think something goes to go incorrect after only 100,000 miles? Based on a number of the things I’ve read on the web, you would probably double that mileage without a lot as changing the oil.
The haters will, after all, inform you that is a wildly inaccurate claim, but what do they know? They’re haters. The 3000GT was awesome, and the Spyder’s power-retractable hardtop only made it cooler. I mean, what number of other automakers offered power-retractable hardtops on their sports cars back in 1995? OK, yes, Mercedes-Benz released the SLK in 1995, but did the SLK have a twin-turbo V6, all-wheel drive, rear-wheel steering, energetic aero or that famous Japanese reliability? No, it didn’t.
The one real downside I can possibly see here is that this automobile might be going to sell for numerous money, even with its comparatively high mileage. Bidding is already as much as $20,000, and on the time of writing, there are still seven days left on the auction. Plus, there is a reserve, so even if you happen to find yourself with the best bid, there is no guarantee you may actually win the automobile. But that just means you’ll need to bid even harder if you wish to own one in every of the best, most overly complicated cars Mitsubishi ever built. And who would not need to own and maintain the world’s most complex Mitsubishi?
