Question 1

Is the Mitsubishi Starion a good investment car?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The GSR-VR widebody is rising in value due to its rarity, turbocharged performance, and motorsport heritage. It's considered an A+ tier JDM collectible.

Question 2

What should I look out for when buying a Starion from Japan?

Accepted Answer

Common issues include cracked dashes, worn turbo bearings, and rust around wheel arches. Auction grading alone won't catch mechanical issues—get a proper inspection.

Question 3

Can ZervTek help me import a Starion to the USA?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All 1982–89 models are 25-year legal. ZervTek handles inspections, purchases, paperwork, and shipping. See our Import to USA Guide for more.

Question 4

How much does Starion importing cost in total?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary based on model condition, distance to port, auction or dealer source, and shipping route. Get an accurate quote from our Cost of Importing a JDM Car page or contact us directly.

Question 5

Is the Starion good for drifting or tuning?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RWD layout, turbo tuning potential up to 400+ hp, and an optional LSD make it a solid drift platform—especially the GSR-VR with 6-bolt axles and wide body.
