A well taken care of car is found to be a reliable one.

 

so what you saying is that if the car was well taken care of the car shouldnt break down or have problems? now whats this about the eclipses having issues at 100-120miles

 

100,000-120,000? What issue is that?

 

Mine is a 2000 Eclipse GT Fed Spec and the only issue I had with my car was the sunroof which the dealership fixed for me but this was when the car just came out. I'm at 75xxx right now and I haven't had any problems with it. Well, I think one of my motor mounts are torn but I haven't had time to inspect which one.

 

so this car is pretty reliable? b/c im thinking about getting one with like 70k miles on it.


umm about the 100-120 i just read that ppl have issues with the car around those miles... i dunno what but just having issues.

 

I can find you a car with 100,000 miles that is more reliable than the same model only at 20k miles.

 

Put it like this man. If your girlfriend/ wife did'nt take take care of her face for 5-6 years would she still look good? Mileage is only half the story. Have a mechanic check it out if you really want one. 100,000 mile mark is typically a mark when a good amount of componets MAY need to be replaced. The questions you need to ask is what problems should you look for ie,

1. When was the timing belt changed?
2. Are there any aftermarket parts?
3. How often is oil changed?
4. Has it been in an accident?

 

2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT 5-speed $4900 obo thats the one im looking at umm getting to go tommorrow morning and checked out.

 

funny he is a member on this site

 

buy it and join mitsuoafl for the meet in sep

 

so it looks good? and if he's a member of the site has he ever talked about any problems with that one?

 

I think he joined just to sell the car. Take his Spawn stickers off if you buy it.

 

His name is HINEclipseGT. He's a complete idiot. You should join MitsuOAFL and read this thread to see who you're dealing with. :lol:

i'm reading it but it doesnt seem that he was doing something retarded, just talking smack, umm what u think about the car itself ok to get?

 

Well my experience when I set to buy my this car was that everytime I mentioned the eclipse the salesman even other people there to buy a car seemed to have a beef with Mitsubishi. Most of them tried to push me towards the Type-S or GTi they had on the lot. Not to mention the list of problems they could come up with about they eclipse but miraculously failed to mention even one of the problems of any of the other cars they had. I guess it didnt help that the next comparable car was 4k more than the eclipse and I wouldnt have had to finance it the eclipse.

 

LOL it's HIN!!! I put the springs on that car. He didn't have that queer sticker on there before.

 

LOL tx4 hows his car?
