Beard. Fuzz. Can't look away
Yep just like me
You think that's bad? I had to edit this, not knowing it was there the whole time.
How many times did you consider re-recording that footage?
At least zero times. At least.
You should of had drive it your own on the truck, because he had no ide what he was doing lol but then again if you would of had done smth wrong you would regret it!
Who's here after his most recent video?
Me
Daniel me
Me
I looked for this when I saw he bought it again lol
@@johnmagn0 second -scruffy
Bro... U sold a unicorn... I'm not mad... Just very disappointed 😒
+Nicky210 get a sense of humor bruh... Besides... My fiancé n I HAVE a house... AND a VR-4
+Nicky210 no worries.. However, I DO understand it's easier with a dual income
dont you think that is a little over used? besides these cars are garbage
Man whoever has this is lucky they only made 45 1999 VR4’s
KoG GoK garbage? Ow where did you get this misinformation from? They are amazing cars if taken care of i own two vr4’s one has 340k miles and still runs strong
holy shit that guy can't drive a manual
That initial jerky stall was hilarious
Confirmed Asian driver. ;)
Clutches are different even in the same car depending on wear, etc. It takes more than 10 feet to get the feel for one you've never used before. Especially when your trying to be careful and not launch the thing into the back of a trailer. I would almost guarantee that truck is a manual. Still pretty funny though.
Have you driven one? Most people can't even put it in reverse or push in the clutch. I remember after using it for a year, I jumped into my other car and it felt like I was going to put my foot threw the firewall when pushing in a normal clutch.
@@tonebebop7656 I got used to mine pretty quick and it's my first manual vehicle. I also don't drive it too often. I will say, on mine at least, the clutch has a lot of travel before it actually bites. Like pretty much to the floor. Might need adjustment.
3 years later and you have it back, good job buddy absolutely beautiful car. Can't wait for the new content with it
danjred24 I was looking for a comment from the video about this car on a older video
@@nbs.connor just finished watching the newest vid of this, still as good looking as ever
@ danjred24 me
Just saw your new upload of getting this car back. Had to go back intime lol to find the original videos of this. What a blessing to see where you are today and never forget where you started. God bless Freddy..
This makes me want a 3000GT, so beautiful...
So why didn't you just sell your Mercedes and keep the 3000GT??? Just get a cheaper daily..
Reeecon because the misses wants to look rich. She doesn't want her man to have his toy.
Reeecon he bought it back
well look now its back
Your AUX cable does match the car....faded red.
"Mini GTR"... these annihilated the GTR on the street and on the track back in the day.
Ryan DeClue thunder bolt
No they didn't. Here is an example and this was the GTO MR which was an even higher performance model we didn't get.
czcams.com/video/0YbUH641bLw/video.html
Yep, as soon as that RX7 passed the first car I knew it would at least get 2nd place. The 7 was just way lighter and that made the difference. If the track had 2 more tight turns, he could of won.
cloridan Beauchamps The MR was over 100 lbs lighter and had different gearing for better acceleration, so yes it was higher performance.
both of those things add weight and sap power
Breaking News: Florida man sells Unicorn for house
dont worry Florida man bought it back
@@fmt_piggy trueeee
did he say its like a mini GTR -_-??? I prefer the gto/3000gt platform over the gtr any day, one of the most beautiful cars to ever leave japan, a real head turner...
You've motivated me to start my own CZcams dedicated to owning and daily driving a 2006 Mercedes cl500. All the good and bad just like these old tavarish vids.
welp cars gone unsub we had a good run buddy
hahshaha
Koalafications4Dayz dude he got the car back
Look back now hes has alot more cars and it back
don't worry, you will have this car again i feel it!!!
Funny how @ 10:10 you say hopefully you´ll have something better and now it´s march 2018 and you have a Lamborghini!!
Ikr, where did it all go wrong?
Such a beautiful car. I have a 92 Stealth RT/TT. It would kill me to see it get loaded on a trailer for a new owner.
I have a 92TT as well lol
Anon Doe and I as well
Sold this car to renovate his house... probably doesn't even need renovations just cosmetic... let ur house look shitty for a couple years and keep the car Bruh
Oy vey!!!
It’s better to cry in a 1999 VR-4 than a renovated house
thank god he got rid of the blue fuzzy thing in his beard it was driving me insane
Fast forward to now...... YOU GOT IT BACK!!! YAY!!!!
Eclipses, talons and lasers had the aux ports too. its was a mitsu thing back in the day.
But I will say if you truly loved the car, you'd have driven it more then just a handful of times.
Still a better love story than Twilight
Truck Driver can't drive stick apparently lmfao
This made me cry! Especially after I read some comments and realized that it was resold shortly after...heartbreaking! Opportunity cost eh? Sorry for your loss there, it must have been hard on the old heartstrings...
This is by far my all time dream car
Pretty sure it sold again on ebay for 19k not too long ago
Aspiring to Inspire
Thats lowball..a acura type r now dayz goin for $50k
well he got it back
@@fmt_piggy I know I'm happy for him. It's one of my dream cars too. When it was on eBay if I had the money and means at the time I would have bought it in a heart beat. That person got a killer deal. Although if it was in my possession he'd have to pay me a lot more than it's worth for me to let go of it
@@MostGenericUser what so you just watched him still and then you saw the video of him buying it back
@@fmt_piggy well I dont think I knew it was his when it was being sold on ebay but later when he got it back I put two and two together.
The auxiliary jack in the stereo was definitely for a portable CD player. That's what I used mine for in my 1993 3000GT when I owned one from 1994-99.
God that stalling reminds me of when I was learning stick. It was in a 99 Miata, and I swear I would stall it like 3-5 times in a row at the very beginning.
Have to say, those last-call VR4s are EXCEEDINGLY rare. I've maybe only ever seen one or two, in a top 5 big US city no less. I've never liked that particular wing, but the rest of the car was the best-looking version of that ride. Never pined for a 3000GT VR4 myself, but I have to appreciate how well you maintained it.
I was 18 when I bought my Mitsubishi GTO/3000GT VR4 the previous owner was about 65 and his wife told him to sell it so I got it for very cheap 7,500NZD I've owned it for a year have not had a single problem with. People which want this car is a dream car can get it at a young age if you look hard enough and long enough
Man, this brought back some bittersweet memories for me. Last summer I sold my 1991 Mustang GT that I brought back from the dead after 8 years of ownership...only to sell it on Craigslist in one day. Same situation, needed money for a deposit on a house.
wtf does a 91 mustang get you? the down payment on a trailer?
$5,000-10000 perhaps? In some markets that's enough for a down payment on a pretty decent house. We put $5000 down on ours, and it was around $165,000 for a 3BR 2BA ranch on an acre that needed nothing.
Oh mate, I'm gutted for you. I have felt exactly the same when having to get rid of cars, such as my 190E 2.3-16 and my Porsche 951.
I know that pain, the pain of letting your dream car go.
I remember the first time I first clapped eyes on the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IV, I knew I had to own one day.
The car in my profile picture is the Evo I owned for 6 glorious years, I miss it every day.
I still drive a Lancer, but it's a Diesel & it'll do 48 mpg.....not 22, on super unleaded.
Stock clutch/PP? VR4s are reallly forgiving and have a nice and easy clutch, guy stalled twice. :(
yea . wtf was that all about.... what a moron.
not IMO but I learned on one so who knows and it may have been old af 89k miles so
tavarish i started watching your lamborghini videos, and the fact that you had a vr4 makes me like this channel even more. Coming from a fellow 3000gt owner
Absolutely adore this car, this model has to be my favorite JDM car by far! Great video, seemed like you was really attached to the car and I'd be the same way!
Also that truck driver clearly doesn't like that clutch :P
Yeah, no kidding. I was cringing every time he just popped the clutch. WHY would you do that if you don't know how a car would react?
APiDA Online Yeah haha, I would have offered to drive it on myself!
Love the car. Weird it had a aux in 99 but then again my 86 supra has a stock cd player.
I had a 92 VR4 when in high school (late 90s) and loved that car. Wish I could have bought this one off of you.
This car is for sale again on autotrader lol. Whoever buys it next will be the THIRD owner since Tavarish had it which it hasn't even been a year yet since he sold it. You think with a car this rare someone would treat it like their wife and hold onto it, instead of passing it around like a $2 stripper from owner to owner lol.
weaselgamer50 are you sure it's not the same dude trying to sell it? It was listed on eBay first and shown as sold however it was then relisted by the same owner and that listing went unsold. I'm assuming the first one was won by a non paying bidder. In the description the guy claimed to have only put 600 miles on it over the year of ownership and can't drive it due to a knee injury.
weaselgamer50 if it keeps moving for another few years I’ll scrounge up enough dough for it
Getting rid of a car is worse than losing a girlfriend, it hurts much more because the car is so innocent
Where in Florida? My brother and I have some neat projects you might want to see. When they get closer to done, anyways.
Tavares
.....i really feel your pain. I had to let go of my Alpina e30 BMW - but at least your going places etc, mine got left to rot when I was a taxi driver and when I fecked that up I had to scrap her... so many memories, we got married, conceived, cruised up to 300k on her.... I'm left with photos and memories.... maybe one day when I get back on my feet when I probably hit middle age we will get our dream car - a mitsi gto!! OK so at present I'm on a 3 year ban with 9 months to go, you said God closes a good and opens another one - since starting my CZcams channel I've landed a tv deal (in paid but hopefully will open some doors) with like minded paranormal researchers - we just finished shooting our first episode for roku tv.... mitsi gto... so beautiful.
Regarding your question about the AUX input for that year. Discman and MiniDiscman were portable (Sony) options back then.
Getting a 99 VR-4 soon. Love these cars.
Wow I swear that's 541 in Burlington/Mt Holly!! I grew up in Willingboro up the street. Brings back memories :)
225,888 to 119,612 miles? whats up with that? love your videos by the way Grew up in Mt Holly NJ.
different car, you're thinking of the pos 1991 vr4 he was doing a project on.
This was my dream car for the longest time. This exact model with that wing, too. I think the only cars I like more, even after all these years, are the Jaguar F-Type SVR and the Aston Martin DB11, and some models of the Aston Martin Vanquish (I'm a big Aston Martin fan). But this car is a beauty. Still love it. Was my favorite car to drive in Gran Turismo 2 for PlayStation all those years ago, LOL. Good times.
Who's here after he finally found it and bought it?
The Auxiliary input jack has my heart racing!!
Nice candy bro...mine was a black beaut'...I gotta get me a new one now...I'm getting old so I gotta get young for a bit & spend some dinero..
the 5 speed on my 91 has literally barely any resistance going into different gears. It shifts soo smoothly.
You are a " glutton " for punishment . Remember , they build cars to be driven on the street . Why would you choose to invest so much emotion in something that you are going to expose to the hazards of the road . A wise man once told me " do not become emotionally involved with inanimate objects " the advice has served me well .
I know the feeling of watching your beloved car go because money (an Alfa Romeo GT in my case)... really sucks , man.
The exhaust sounding very good on that vehicle
Lets take a moment to notice that it registers on the odometer 180mph......... Wtf man thats crazy alone....
HE GOT IT BACK BOIZ
Since the dude is reselling it on Ebay will you mention what you sold it for?
I promised him I wouldn't.
the dude who bought it resold it? wtf i thought it was his dream car. i have a 95 vr4 and the only thing i would sell it for is a 99. i can feel his pain
Wyatt Neff
yep, as soon as it got dropped off it was on ebay using Tavarish's pictures. Sold for 19k. www.ebay.com/itm/Mitsubishi-3000GT-VR4-/112050456038
Sucks, because the first offer he got was 25k. Oh well, his loss lol.
When you guys in the states get your 25 year limit removed from importing JDM cars, you'll realize that these VR4s, JZA80s and BNR32s etc are like civics over in Japan, they go for dirt cheap over there. The domestic versions become nothing special once you see the RHD cars flood the local market. The USDM value of stuff with a shared chassis over here drops overnight like MKIV Supras, 3000gts, Z32TTs, you can get one of these RHD JDM versions landed here for anywhere between $5k and $15k CDN depending on auction grade, mileage and mods.It's inevitable you'll all get the flood of JDM cars like we did here in Canada in the early 2ks. It's a good thing he sold this Mitsu before that phase comes.
In July of 2019, you will buy this car back and restore it
Close but very far
No need to be sad, you will cross paths with this car once more. 😌
So.. a house take precedent over a car ... Yes, thats a man, a real man
you sold the best looking car in the world....
Nerijus it’s a close competition between this and other 3000gt’s
I am looking for a 99 vr4 and can't find one. What a beautiful unicorn to behold, too bad you sold yours.
0:58 “...a house takes precedence over a car....” WHAT!?! Really !?! No, No, Never! 🤣
j/k
Loved ❤️ those cars! Had its “sister” car back in the day... Dodge Stealth R/T (Manual, TT, AWD, AWS); out of 40+ vehicles I’ve owned, that was one I wish I still had 😢
It's been 2 years do u miss it ?
A cut and buff and that paint would've been better than when it left the showroom
Has no one said anything about that fuzz on his beard! It's bugging me. Btw love your work!
Before you knew youd have a 1000 HP lambo.
This is the car you will always look back regretting that you sold it but responsibilities are always more important than a car.
You are so right, especially in that condition. Most of them are in bad to very poor condition, wrecked by young kids, mostly. Mint condition cars are very hard to come by. I got very lucky when I got my 1997 VR4 last year and it will never be sold. Well at least not as long as I live.
Cannot believe iv been watching you for this long crazy
What was the 6 last numbers of the VIN? Do you have them. Like you said - they only made 287 of them.
I been thinking on selling mine.. But who knows. These might go up in price soon. You ever use 4th gear? I wish I could see what 6th gear is like.
When I got mine the previous owner was like wow you can drive it normal. These cars are something else. Also was getting my transmission fluid changed once and I asked to drive it in.. they said no because of insurance reasons, after 20 min of not being able to drive it they said I could.
I miss the interior smell of my VR4, I still have it and it runs Just had body damage from an accident more than 5 yea ago
Freddy that vr4, while not on par with other Japanese supercars of the era, is some holy grail shit! A 1999 vr4 is rare no to mention best looking of the car. I certainly hope this house is nice!!!!
lol not on par? this car beat out the supra in motor-trend's testing. its much better looking than the ass front end of a 300ZX. bigger engine than the 2.5L GTR, etc... and much more attainable. I can go on and on.
also outsold all those cars
I don't even have a 3000 gt but this breaks my heart watching it go away
WOW! I seem to have found a comment section on youtube where nobody seems to realize that this isn't the older crappier 1991 VR4, considering it says 1999 in the title. Everyone also seems to think that he said that he sold it for 25K, when in fact, he never said anything about how much he sold it for.
I had a 94 3000gt. I really miss it
The Aux is for a magical device called a Walkman, A portable cassette player.
and portable cd players/mp3 plers were coming out around then i believe
AUX in the 90's would be for just headphones right?
Reminds me of the old days. I like to have another 3000 GT again.
TEIN = Teee In==Technical Innovation
tits
SOLOIIguru I know this is months old, but it's actually pronounced like "Tane" even though it is derived from TEchnical INnovation. In Japanese (Romaji) the E makes an "eh" sound and I makes an "ee" sound, and when said together it comes out as "Tane." Even their English commercials pronounce it this way. That said I've never heard anyone say it properly to this day, and I still say Tee-In for my S-Techs since everyone thinks you're a sped when you pronounce it correctly. XD
should I tell him there's something in his beard lol
I got a '90 gto (or 3000gt. I'm from the UK) it has been sitting in my garage for 7 years and now we are trying to start it but it is not receiving fuel do you have any ideas on why
What wheels are those? size and brand? and do you rember the tire size by any chance? beautiful car.
Rota P45Rs. 18x9. 265/35/18 tires
+APiDA Online 35... damn. small wall. ok thanks man!!!
volks
they look like vossen wheels
I read your blog about the wheels. I was going to get some wheels with similiar specs. Just wondering if you had any rubbing with the +30 offset.
How many inches of drop on the car? The drop looks perfect!
I had the 1992 vr4 --- loved that car so much
wow is this the car that u had at the start ? amazing car man
Just got it back
I just sold my Vr4 to get a new mustang and i miss it already, my mustang doesn't scare me like my vr4 could
This is not to be confused with the 3KGT you just got right?
Hahaha oh man I laugh for the truck driver because he killed it in 2 times arow.
It's for sale now in Austin.
The VR-4 was about shoving the most, and newest technology possible into a car.
hey bud since u have had a 3000gt I wanted to know why my 3000gt makes a noise when I go over a bump is their something I should change ? if u can please get back to me thanks
dammit man i just found out u had this car today and now i'm finding out u got rid of it. it looks sooo good when i compare before/after. i wanna take note of everything u did to this car taht started out really shitty.
That tread in hes beard is excellent!
Happy to hear you got your car back!
Too bad, that sure was a nice and very rare car! But real life calls :(
Vinnievsp3c he got it back
5:19 correct me if I'm wrong but four wheel steer was discontinued in 94
no it lasted all models the active aero was discontinued tho in 94
I have a '95 SR model GTO (Awd, dohc 6g72 5speed, pretty much a vr4 minus the turbos and active aero) and it has rear wheel steer.
I would have cried. Shit i cried when i let go of my 92 base :'(
well its back
damn I found your channel thanks to this beauty, I just finished up watching all the videos featuring it
