Default Decision

Hey guys, I came across a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS, it is fully loaded, a\c works, pw, pl, sunroof, new motor with 30,000 miles, and a full flowmaster exhaust for $3000 or obo. Now the car is black just like my 1999 mitsubishi eclipse rs, so i don't know whether i should give up my eclipse for it. I have a 1999 mitsubishi eclipse rs with intake, possible frame damage, flood damage, rebuilt engine on title, 78,000miles on it, but i have to change the timing belt in about 10,000 miles, plus my back tires are going in about 4 months. Is it worth to keep my car or sell it and buy this one? What do you guys think?

Nothing really, rims and wing. Just looks.
I dont even know that you would get 1500 for it from the parts. I would just try and sell it. You could probably get around 3k for it.

what are you talking about. There is no way that the car has the turbo motor in it. The GS has the 420a. Same as the RS. And yes you can put a turbo kit in them but it wont be able to handle what the GS-T can
