used car of the day 2011 mitsubishi evo mr

Today we're bringing you a 2011 Mitsubishi Evo MR that might need a bit of work.

There are 83K miles and the car has apparently had some major maintenance done -- and it has a new catalytic converter, spark plugs, and new valve cover gasket.

The bad news is that the transmission apparently needs some work -- you can see the issues if you click through.

The asking price for this Connecticut-based car is $20,000. If you want to own an Evo with some performance mods and can afford to address the transmission issues, this car could be yours.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Front tag obscured. Rear tag - clear and sharp. Huh?

The saddest part is that Chrysler used to own the Lancer nameplate, and gave it to Mitsubishi. Not even the stretched K-car of the '80s could ruin the name, but Mitsubishi did.

Rover Sig Sedans/coupes fill an important role. They can range in size, price, and gas mileage so as to be ideal for many buyers. The market is still there to justify the production, although small SUVs and crossovers dominate the market. There is even room for the station wagon (I think of the Outback as a station wagon, although a lot of you call it a SUV). External factors, like the retreat from EVs and the potential for increased gas prices, make sedans an important sector - not just a niche. Besides, they generally handle better than SUVs, don't they?
Bd2 Sonota and K5 are each an absolute unit in the segment. High ATPs tell the story of money to be made in sedans.
MaintenanceCosts Nope. The CUV is now the default car, and the sedan is a specialty product. For baseline competitiveness the OEMs need a full lineup of CUVs. Full-line OEMs also need pickup trucks and a couple sizes of SUVs. Sedans are what coupes used to be: a bonus afterthought.
Jeff I believe if they made sedans with usable trunks, taller, and easier to get in and out of more people would buy them. The trend toward sloped roofs, lower profiles, and small trunks has increased sales of crossovers and suvs.
KOKing Toyota still moved half a million Camrys and Corollas in the US last year, and although I can't find Model 3 numbers on their own, I'm guessing it's in the 200k range, so sedans aren't going the way of the PLC. Clearly SUVs and trucks have higher margins, and it's all about 'shareholder value' for the Big 3 in particular, so I don't seem them bringing em back if/until the pendulum swings back in another generation or two.
