I DID NOTICE THAT BY THE ENGINE IT LOOKS LIKE RUST OR EM I WRONG?



this is what he told me
"The clutch is working properly. No mechanical problems at all with this car. All the electrical system is working like new. I have it's clean&clear title in hand. Also the car hasn't been involved in any kind of accidents. The Eclipse is perfectly drivable. Overall condition: A+. I am a non-smoker.
I can ship the car to your location for about $420.
Also the price is $2995."I'm selling the car for $2995 because i have a new car coming and noone will be using this one. No engine problems and no defects at all. I'm very honest with you."

From what i see from the pictures it is a very nice car for a good price and pretty good miles, i have a 3g spyder eclipse and it is awsome!! If i were you, i would definitly go over and look at the car in person and drive it and then make a decision. Also see if the guy has a carfax on the car, if he does, make sure it is up to date.

wow this almost seems like an umbelievable price for the shape the car looks to be in. Defineteyl needs a test drive though or some kind of warranty first, i'd be very cautious.

yeah i was thinking about it and it has to have something for it to be that low of a price...i dont think he is offering warranty on the car

I don't think so, it looks more like grease. If the car had blown gaskets, or he spilled oil while changing it, and it mixed up with some dirt, and he never cleaned it, once it heats up, it forms grease. It happens :/

Car looks great. but, go here if you haven't already... http://www.carfax.com/ Check out the car's history. If it's a lemon, it will let you know. I beleieve that if you end up buying the car, and it turns out it's a lemon, they have a buyback guarentee, or something like that, I'm not really sure how it works. It's all explained there though. Let us know what you end up doing man. Later.

Is it just me or does it look like he never changed/cleaned that filter it looks filthy as well as the engine. Might not have properly maintained it. I would be carefull.

Check the car and test drive it. I wouldn't do anything without checking it out thoroughly first but even if the engine ha some minor problems for that price it's a damn good buy!
