- This is my first VR4. Do check out the condition of the car and let me know in comments how much it's worth?
The Autozone part number for steering wheel cover is - "98026-PEDI". Enter this part number and search, you should find it. This wheel cover greatly matches the interior of the car and looks almost OEM.

I would keep it stock and just stay on top of all the maintenance for reliability. Only thing I’d change is the wheels as they can be put back on in 20-30 minutes and it won’t effect the value. Stock is king! Amazing car, congratulations!
I couldn't agree more. I just changed the wheels and plan to lower it, and keep up with maintenance... I don't plan to do anything else and keep it stock as far as possible. Considering the age of this car, good maintenance is the best therapy for this car. I have a 95 base which should be back form the shop after a year long rebuild.. that I would play around with :)
@@reetomh I have a few stealths and eclipses so I know the deal! It's better to do early maintenance than find out the hard way. Yeah a second car for fancy things is the way to go! Following!
Dude a stock 1st gen 3000gt VR4 in that condition is my dream car that's such a beautiful find, the day I get to take a step back and see that car in my driveway I think I'm gonna cry. Might not be the most expensive dream car but there really is nothing like em.
Yes, it's definitely a dream come true. However, there's some maintenance work that needs to be done to call it perfect. I am doing those one by one as time permits.... I do visit the garage 3-4 times a day just to look at it :)
Love the 1st gen too with the pop-up headlight😊
The fact he suggested painting the wheels black and mucking with the spoiler is why this had 1 owner for so long. Some of us cannot bare the thought of some yaywho ruining the thing. KEEP IT STOCK
I replaced the hood Heat Shield on my '91 VR4 and it wasn't a difficult job at all. Took the old one off no issues. Only about 14 clips or so holding that thing up there (can't remember the exact number). I went ahead and bought new clips at the same time as well. Nice car you have :)
I made a small mistake while replacing the heat shield. I put the new one top of the old one.. it it has become too thick and unable to put to intercooler heat shield on. The clips are unable to hold all three… one of these days I will remove the old one and put back the intercooler heat shield.
Yeah, you definitely need to remove the old one. It’s easy, you’ll be fine 😊
@@ames6881 Yep.. will do it someday..
Beauty. I just bought a 1991 300zx tt with 50k miles, literally looks straight off the lot. Took me months to find one completely stock in that condition. Always garage kept and barely driven past 20yrs, basically once a month around the block. Only issues are with the radio/cd player and by age needs timing belt and some other maintenance items, which is not a cheap service, around 3k alone. Passed pre inspection with flying colors and picked up out of state. Originally listed for 34.5k but was able to get it down to 24k. I am going to do the 120k mile service and replace a lot of rubber hoses, gaskets and all fluids to get as dialed in a possible. Probably 4-5k total. I am only going to do mods that can be switched back to stock like wheels, led lights, touch screen radio etc in case I sell down the road. This was my favorite car in high school so may just keep forever
El mejor de 50 autos que he tenido y lo conserbo
I've got a 1999 rear garnish if you want it. Makes a huge difference on the rear end of the 1st gens. $500 plus shipping
Also, hate to be the bearer of bad news...but those cracked air vents that are super cheap to replace...you've gotta remove the entire dashboard to reach the screws. It will take all day lol
Oh absolutely, it will look gorgeous... I know they go for around 400+ shipping on FB groups.. unfortunately, I don't have "Car Funds" left this year or I would have bought it... so I have to postpone it for next year... I have two 3000GTs and they are white elephants :)
Looks Great! I think the price would be around 25-30K. I say this because I bought one just like yours with only 28K Miles for 25K over a year ago. Great Car love it!
28K miles, wow! must be mint. It's hard to find the unmolested ones. I will reveal the price soon, just checking what other numbers get thrown.. thanks for looking.
it was 18k
Dude….. that thing is amazing.
Thanks man. My 95 base (which i love very much) has been sitting in the shop since last year August. Got super desperate and thanks to my obsession about pop-up headlights, now I have a beautiful VR4.. Along with the paperwork that came with the car, I found lot of magazine cut outs from 1992 where it won the best import car of the year.. I am organizing and framing those cutouts... I will share them in a video once I am done framing them all.... stay tuned :)
Hey have you thought about showing your repair work, I would be interested in watching. I have 92 as well and enjoy viewing others work. Great buy, have fun!
Hey, super cool, I am fixing the broken stuff one by one as time permits... it's a long list as the car is behind on maintenance...I do have videos posted on this playlist - ruclips.net/video/-JeIN_ECw0E/видео.html.. I have 95 too, that one is being worked by a shop right now... let's keep in touch, I am sure I will need help :)
My suggestion, lightly tint the windows primarily to protect the interior even if garage kept. That material just doesn't hold up to the sun well. A full ceramic tint would be perfect.
Yes will do, little tight on car money right now, will do it in the winter when tinting demands are low..might get a good deal,, right now it sits in the garage under a cover.
Nice!👍Clean all oem rare.Welcome to the club of 3Si.
Thanks man, earlier this year it became an obsession of mine. Every night before going to bed I would search for a VR4 in this condition all over US.. I realized soon that I am wasting too much time and might as well grab the first decent one I can find. And finally found one :)
Where did you got it from? I would keep most OEM, IF possible.
Antenna spray some silicone lube in it.
I bought it form an elderly couple, been in the Cali for it's whole life... so no rust. Little behind on maintenance... The antenna mast was broken from inside, I replaced it and all good now.. Here's the video - ruclips.net/video/DrvzuIVbeCU/видео.html
Oh and as far as price goes I would say around $17,000
I am tempted to tell you the price, but let's see if any other number shows up.... if not will disclose it in a week or so..
@@reetomh awesome!! Your car is an uncut gem and the value of these cars are rising.
Not sure what these go for in the US, but here in Europe, it isn't uncommon to pay around 30k€ for one. This particular one looks in great shape from both the outside and inside apart from the few plastic pieces being a bit worse for wear and the engine bay being a bit messy. I wouldn't be surprised to see a price in that range - meaning around about 35k USD. Anyways, great car! Congrats, man.
@@L0RDLUK I hear what you are saying... bat.com has good examples and mix of these cars at various milage and how much they got sold for... Next few months, I will start fixing these small things one by one... Megan lowering springs are already here :)
@@L0RDLUK I concur, VR-4's cars a really hard to come by in the EU market and are very expensive in comparison to the US market. That said, there seems to be more than a fair share situated in Spain if you know where to look. including parts also.
There's one SL up for sale in my area for 9000 euros and im thinking of buying it just to get my feet wet and its in great condition and spent part of its life in a museum.
My mom helped me buy my first car when I was in 11th grade. A 1992 Mitsubishi 3000gt vr4 black brand new. I don't quite remember what we paid for it. All I know is I paid my mother $500 a month to cover the car payment and the insurance.
Now with that being said I honestly can't tell you what we paid for it without looking through the cars service records folder. But what I will tell you is 31 years later I'm still driving this car and just a few months ago in Brooklyn NY I was offered 30k cash for my car. But like a dope I turned it down because my mom got me that car and she died 6 years after getting me that car. But that 30k was tempting. My car just got to 90k miles. So I'm guessing that you paid around 25k?
Many thanks for sharing your story. I paid 18k. It's little behind of maintenance and I am doing them one at a time and as time permits. Nothing beats the joy of looking at that car sitting in your garage :). Working on some interesting projects for this car, nothing invasive... hopefully will have some fun updates to share soon.
$18k and you got yourself one of the best and nicest cars ever made. in a few years the Mitshubishi 3000GT will cost $130k like the 90s Honda NSX. you are very fortunate you own that car.
Something abt the purple climate control gets me. If i had one I'd modify the exaust, slap nice wheels on and fix up the interior.
Hey, some reason I LOVE that purple display and the animation. I have 2 of them as backup, just in case, LOL... I didn't modify the exhaust but I did put on the evoX wheels. they look super cool, also won at the local carshow.. you can see it here - ruclips.net/video/W5DXToNWK9U/видео.html
Thanks for stopping by.
Those forward vents under the windshield need to be lubed regularly. Doesn't matters what area you're in, they always crack. The entire dash, you want to lubricate multiple times per year.
Thanks for the tip. What do you use to lubricant/ polish ?
With what.
18,500 is what popped in my head
Spot on man, 18 it is.
@@reetomh you got a solid deal then. They were ~12k in my area 10 years ago and we all know what happened to our USD so you probably got a deal
Clean Vr4! You do know you have to remove the entire dash to replace those vents?
Thanks, it's super clean but it does have it's share of problems..like most of them have when maintenance is not up to date... so going through those maintenance and addressing issues one at a time... As far as the vents are concerned, are you sure we need to remove the dash? Last year I visited some junkyards to get parts for the Digital Climate Control.. I want to put them on my 95 base which has the ugly manual climate control. I was able to get them out including the sensor on the passenger side vent... I did have to remove the glove box, and cut the wires for the sensor and the whole thing came out...I have a video on it, just saw it again :) can't remember what i did for the driver side but I took that out as well, without removing the dash...
What wheel cover did you use for your steering wheel? it looks great
Hey, I got it from Walmart. Can't remember the item number.. But I will go walmart in next few days, i will grab the barcode or item number for you... I need to buy some coolant, might go today evening.. the cover matches the interior so well, you have to see it in person...
I went to Walmart and Autozone yesterday, and found it in Autozone... here's the link - www.autozone.com/steering-wheels-kits-and-accessories/steering-wheel-cover/p/proelite-black-comfort-grip-15in-steering-wheel-cover/336269_0_0?searchText=98026-PEDI. The part number to search in autozone is 98026-PEDI
What do you think 1991 VR4 with 164,000 miles, all stock, red, 1 owner, looks good in pics, supposedly no issues or rust. They want 11k worth it? Cheap, fair, or overpriced?
I was think 10-15k. I saw one for sale for 6k but it had issues.
That's close :)
it was 18k
It’s almost comical seeing such a sleek car next to the Bug haha
haha, that bug is insanely reliable...it's been with us since 2012 and nothing ever broke down, the wife drives it. Once you put it in the sports mode, it is actually fast..
I just paid $900 for a complete stock 92vr4 needs new paint
Are you sure it's 900 and not 900? I haven't heard anyone buy a VR4 that needs JUST PAINT for 900. How many miles on it and does everything else work prefectly? If yes, then you are the luckiest man alive!
When was the timing belt last changed?
This is a million dollar question, it was done in around 2010... even though the car drove barely 8k miles in last 10 years, I should probably replace it due to its age. I plan to open the cover and see the condition of the belt.. I will definitely do a tune up..
I would replace it asap and the first thing along with water pump and a new oem tensioner. It’s recommended every 60k or 5 or so yrs.
How is the car so far? Driving wise
Hey, I love driving it. Although I just use it on weekends to get me a starbucks coffee. I enjoy driving it and like keep it relaxed... even as a stock, you feel the power and enjoy the overall experience of driving it... something different for a minimalistic Tesla interior...I also didn't drive too much last year since I wanted to address few small problems before I go on longer drives.. But I drive my 95 in the exactly opposite way, I push it a lot and love to hear the loud exhaust in it. It does turn heads when I start it up.. Now that everything is sorted, this summer should be a blast. May beI will do a 1 year ownership review :)
Wind language first minute lol
sorry man, I live right next to a windfarm... can't help it...
Engine bay is nightmare for space to work on
Couldn't agree more, I had a nightmare installing the single pass aluminum rad form 3SX... but it runs like a coool cat now :)
Those wheels never look good in black. Just have them refreshed and get after market wheels if planning to change the color. Plenty of examples online, the stock wheels in black cheapens the car.
I put those wheels in storage and put the evoX wheels and painted them black, they look pretty good now...
@@reetomhThose don't look bad in black. Keep in mind black wheels are difficult to photograph. Usually they just turn completely black. Clean car. 60k/120k service mandatory or blow the engine. These are reliable cars but you must do the service no exceptions.
true, the wheels look best in their original color, but not in black.
@@PhantomWoIf I have put the original ones in storage, they are in prefect shape. Maybe someday I will put them on again... some reason, I love black rims.. I got black rims on every car I own :)
Only issue is parts are hard to find.
there are manufacturers in the u.s. that build parts for the Mitsubishi 3000GT, transmission and engine parts etc. .
The 3S community is pretty strong and we usually find the parts. Agree that it's hard to find parts, but ppl figure it out someway. Revenge Performance builds the transmission, there are few guys who build Carbon fibre parts, someone does brake calliper reconditioning etc... so with help from the community it works out well.
$20,400
Very close buddy :)
It was 18k
30k easy
it was 18..
Anyone who parks a pos vw in the garage don't deserve a Mitsubishi...
Some of us have families and in my family we respect everyone's choices. Which is why there's a Bug, a Tesla, a 4Runner, a STI, a R1 and yes 2 3000GTs. That's how we roll!
Keep it stock. If you modify do it to a lame SL
Hey, definitely. I am just lowering the car and replacing the wheels. I can always put the original struts and wheels back if there’s a need. Planning to keep everything stock on it. I have 95 non-VR where so can play around :)
lowering that car is technically one of the worst things to do, it will not drive that well anymore and hit the ground in some places and then rust away from the bottom. all original stock is best for a 3000GT, they're best as they originally came from factory.
