For Sale: 1995 Mitsubishi Pajero in Lavergne, Tennessee

This is a rare opportunity to own a cool off-roader that never was offered to the USA. This 1995 Mitsubishi Pajero 2800 was never sold at your local dealer. Instead, you get a diesel-powered right-hand-drive loaded SUV that's both a capable off-roader and one of the most unique machines in any crowd.

The Pajero name is one of the most celebrated internationally for being a true 4x4 with four decades of history. We did receive a version we called the Montero, but a true Pajero has an amped-up machismo. It's done in true off-road spec with the bright brush guard up front, Hella amber fog light, steel running boards, a trailer hitch, and deep treads on the off-road tires - including the full-size spare on the rear mount. More than just rugged, this one has a nice sense of style. The Sudan Beige Metallic and Alamoana Green Pearl are quite tasteful, especially with the golden pinstripe providing the upper border. This is the factory-correct style, and it even shows all the right signs of being the original application. The whole vehicle has the look of a well-respected machine with good lines, nice sheet metal, and even the integrated fender flares looking smooth. And just in case people didn't see the Pajero name or see you driving from the "other" side, this one also has plenty of hints at being something special. The fender-mounted side mirror, large side rain guards, and offset hood scoop make the exterior quite distinct.

The interior continues the theme of unique and premium. First of all, this is a right-hand-drive vehicle that was built for the Korean market, and most Asian-market cars love added gadgetry. So there are plenty of SUVs with a standard speedo and tach, but when was the last time you saw a factory-installed altimeter, compass, and approach/departure angle clinometer? And because this is imported, the speedometer is in kilometers. There are even great anytime features such as power windows, power locks, power mirrors, a tilt steering column, cruise control, and cold-blowing air conditioning to keep you comfortable even in the great outdoors. The radio has even been upgraded to an AM/FM/CD touchscreen unit with Bluetooth. This is a premium SUV, and so there are nice details for the rear seat, like the panromantic sunroof and full zone climate controls. And speaking of the rear seats, the third row folds against the sides like a Land Cruiser does to give you a flat cargo floor. There are even useful details, like the WeatherTech mats and a comprehensive tool kit. So this unique import also remains quite a useful SUV.

Another great reason to get a unique import is the 2.8-liter turbodiesel motor. It's the perfect mix of all-out ruggedness and stump-pulling torque. And while this Pajero was not offered in the USA, you can really understand the durability of the motor because it's related to all those Mitsubishi commercial box trucks you see pulling daily duty. And while this is a terrific 4x4, you'll also find it easy to live with daily. The four-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes make this unique machine just as comfortable as a crossover you see on the morning school run.

Complete with owner's manual (in Korean), this is a terrific way to stand out and be on top of the crowds. So if you're looking for a modern classic that knows how to be capable and useful, call today!
