ohhh 1989 CONQUEST Turbo. 5 sp. 4 cyl. Mitsubishi motor. Rear wheel drive. Leather interior. $950; will trade for 1983-'86 Cutlass. 309/745-3275 Washington

188hp mitsu 2.6L and rwd :yum: but thats a bad car for me. insurance would rape me on it and its near impossible to get parts for, but it looks kinda cool. :twothumb:

all the good cars are down south tho, my mom lives in knoxville tenesee tho, but thats like the chevy/ford capital for used cars.:(
 
I used to work for Autotrader.com, and I worked with a lot of the dealers in the south suburbs. A good one I used to work was Autolocator (in Frankfort ), they can almost any kind of a car your looking for. The address it http://www.autolocator.com They found a 80 Trans Am for my cousin last year. They are pretty cool.

mmmmmmmm....GSX aaaaahhhh. (in a homer simpson voice) A 99 Copper GSX, thats one of my dream cars as well.
my friend just called, he found an eagle talon tsi for $1500. he doesnt know the mileage tho. it must be high miles or a rough body. or the kid whos selling it really needs the money. im wary about a 1st gen tho because i hear they can become real money pits.

What's wrong with your car? :lol:
i was hit on the rear passenger wheel on a left hand turn and spun 270 degrees hopping a curb sideways and ending on a lawn.

Bitter said:
ugh let the flaming begin.

i was just in an accident, i was at fault. i turned and got hit by a woman. my passenger rear wheel bore the brunt and i was spun onto someones yard. if i had waited just a lil bit longer to turn or had gone a different way...well shit happens and life goes on. the passenger rear wheel that was hit is like \ at that angle and deep into the well. i think either the spring broke or the spring/shock broke. well if it is deemed totalled i have like 3k to spend to get something like maybe a 1st gen DSM :naughty: maybe then i wont be teased soo much :p i know i want a 2 door, and a turbo would be reallly nice.




oh btw, not that any of you care, so far im not hurt, just a lil shook up. i'll be able to say tomorrow or the next day if i was hurt or not. adrenaline and such.
the honda bois are gona be jealous of my camber :p its literally like \

Both of them look like money pits. One idles crappy and has no boost while the other doesn't run at all.

both? i only linked one? and it idles per his "update" hes close so i can go check it out and go over it with a fine toothed comb and bargain him down a lil bit if i want it.

if your referring to my car it runs, shit it was running while i was hit and spun! the only damage is to the passenger rear wheel and its suspension. the wheel only has a scuff :fawk:

If you read his ad, he mentions that he also has a Talon TSi (FWD) along with the Eclipse for sale. He wants $1500 for the Eclipse and $500 firm for the Talon.
