FS: 97 3000GT SL 5-Speed
Posted for Frank:
I have a Black 97 3000GT SL 5 speed for sale. I know its not the VR-4 but actually I find it more fun to drive than a stock turbo eclipse. Id say it has about as much power as a stock turbo eclipse and handles about the same also. This was a friends car so I know a little history of it.
Its tan leather interior which is in good condition. There is some normal wear on the front seats and a small tear in the drivers seat which I have a picture of but the back seats are perty much perfect. The rug is really perty good too except for a little burn mark on the drivers side which is not that bad. The whole rest of the interior is in awesome shape and actually looks almost like new.
The body is in very good shape. there is one ding on the drivers side and a tiny bit of wave on the front bumper. The paint is not new but it has been painted recently because it shines like a mirror and looks like new. The car was painted because of scuffs from shingles from the hurricane (charley) but also because the front quarter panels were dented from something hitting them in the hurricane. So overall the body looks just about new. The frame is straight the front clip was replaced im not sure why but I looked all under and around at the frame and metal and I dont see any signs of frame damage or rust from the parts being bent and straightened back up. Also everything in the front looks straight like the ac lines and stuff like that. BTW, the car also has tint.
The car is mechanically sound and runs awesome I was surprised its perty quick and I like the torque. The ac blows cold, starts every time, only lifter tick when you for start it like every Mitsubishi does, shifts great. Everything in the car works, brakes, ebrake, windows, locks, heat, ac, radio, wiper, signals, headlights, ect... It has a viper alarm and keyless entry however I dont have a key to the door only the ignition. The car drives straight, the tires have tread on them and are good but are about 50% , one of them has a little extra wear on the outside. The suspension is surprisingly in great shape It actually feels better than my eclipse. The car has never been modded and has no mods. It has a new clutch and is fine for normal driving but if you drive nutty like me you are going to want to a heavier pressure plate in it (its the same as the eclipse). I put a new battery in it because it was a wal-mart battery and they have free 2 yr replacement. I think the belts (i think the timing belt too but dont quote me) and hoses were done at 9x000. Its got a new starter too. It is going to need a drivers side axle boot soon. Its not leaking grease yet but its getting hard. I dont think its leaking any oil either, I dont see wet spots. Its going to need some motor mounts also but what FWD car doesnt.
It has a clean title in my hand, and I did a carfax and its clean I can give you the copy.
I read on 3si of people getting the stock turbos from a turbo model and the ecu and having a turbo car which is what I would do if I had the money. I think you can run about 10psi on the stock motor.
Thats about all I can think of for now, im sure I missed something. If you have questions just pm me.
