I thought I was keeping the car forever (or a really longtime), so all of my mods and maintenance has been treated as such. I've been slowly getting the car to how I like it, but I recently bought a house. I don'thave to sell it, but it's an extra car and sits in the garage mostly these days.
I only used Brad Penn 10w-30 and 10w-40 since I bought thecar at ~27,000 miles and changed it every 3,500 miles. The transmission, center diff, and rear diff all had their fluids changed 25,000 miles ago with MT90 mixture, but I have unopened OEM Diaqueen fluid that I can throw in. I maintained the car myself and what I couldn't do, I had a friend who's an experienced Mitsubishi tech, do the work.
Tuning done by Chad Block at CBRD in York, PA last September (Tephra v7, speed density with ecuboost). Made 391whp @ 26lbs on 93 octane and Mustang Dyno (~420whp DynoJet). Car pulls hard and sounds great.

Known issues:
- Trunk torsion springs not setup correctly, so it doesn’t pop/stay open - Rear trunk lock loose and doesn’t always turn to unlock trunk (the release works most of the time) - Tiny (dime size) rock crack on front lower passenger side of windshield (hasn’t grown in 2 years) - Rock chips on hood and front bumper of car and pitting on trunk - No rear antenna (base damaged), but picks up decent reception. I have an oem replacement base with a Perrin shorty antenna - HVAC control lights don't work (replacing bulbs didn't fixit), but the A/C, Defrost, and Recirc. lights do work and heat and A/C function great - No fog lights (bought it that way and never got around to fixing it) - Driver's side high beam doesn't work (bought it that way and never got around to fixing it, the low beams were bright enough for me)
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks, Kyle

Reason: Price update
seems a bit on the high side, for an VIII, but it's your car, so i say you sell it for what you want.
any decent offers or are you getting a bnuch of lowballers?
i only ask because i may end up having to let mine go and i'm gauging the market. you can PM me if you like.
