Mitsubishi Eclipse to buy or not to buy? Now with pics!


Recommended Posts

Im looking for a sporty car and came across this today. He's asking 5000.00 obo and i offered 4,700.00 and he agree'd he would take it. Let me describe the car itself. It has 165,000 on the odometer but he claims it recently had a engine rebuild/swap from the same model car but an 2003 this one is a 2000 im looking at. The interior has seen its better days but i think i can fix it up nice with new bucket seats and carpet/headliner. I didnt look at the rims to close but it looks like 20" Lorenzo wheels on low pro's. It has a aim cold air intake and thats the only mod so he says. The guy that owns it looks to be in the high 20's which scares me! What would you guys do laugh and walk away or buy it? Exterior looks perfect its white, interior not so much but id like to make it my own with some suede and new carpet/seats like mentioned above.

Trying to upload pics but photobuckets being gayy as usual.

I seriously doubt those are 20's on an eclipse. Maybe 18's. Post some pics.

i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

yeah def some pics would help, mileage is high for the price but if he "says" its less then...

personally i stay away from cars with mods or anything aftermarket, 20s? if they are in decent u can sell to fix up the interior, if hes in his late 20s id actually look at it as a good thing is not just some kidd in highs school putting any random shit he cant find, but i could be wrong.

i wanna see some pics to decide to buy or not to buy :pardon: but sounds decent so far

When I went looking for a car, thats what I wanted was a Mitsubishi Eclipse. I was looking for a 3rd gen, as the 2nd are mad ugly. We were talking to the guy at the dealership who had one for sale at his other location for cheap, around 4,700 I think.

He said stay away from them, they always have something going wrong with them and with a car that sexy, but that cheap I had to believe him. I see quite a bit of them around my house, probably atleast half that I see around are rice. Fart cannons are always on those things.

2000+ eclipse can fit 20s.... its the 99 and lower that have issues with them, they changed the model from 99 to 2000

that price is steep for a 2000 eclipse, if i was going to pay that much i would just get a 98 GSX, awd and turbo...
