i currently have a 98 neon and as soon as i get a new head and get it running i am gunna sell it and i hopefully will be able to buy a eclipse and i was wondering what model year and all that good stuff i should be looking in the local adds for i am looking for something that is used most deffinently because im far from rich

 

97-99 GSX! If not next best, would be 95-99 Eclipse GST or GSX.

 

it all depends on what style you like. If you like the 1st gen eclipse style then your look for a 1990-1994.

then if you like the 2g eclipse style your looking for a 1995-1999

Now the reason he said 97-99 is because they changed the styling a bit from the 95-96 with a new front bumper and headlights.

Now once you decide what style you want then you gotta choice between a non-turbo version (RS,GS) or a tubo version (GST,GSX) where the gst is front wheel drive and GSX is all-wheel drive. Now of course everyone here will say to just get the turbo because its alot faster and mod friendly, but its really up to what your price range is and what kinda speed your looking for.

Oh and then of course there is the 3g eclipse

this one they came in either a 4 cylinder (RS,GS) and a 6 cylinder (GT,GTS) both non-turbo. Now these have really been dropping in price since the new 4g eclipse's so you could probably get one of these for about the same price as a good condition 2g GSX but its all about what your looking for

 

Are you a speed or a comfort person? Are you a ricer?

 

HAHAHAHA straight to the point! lol

 

lol all 3 valid questions... to save myself answering them later

Comfort Eclipse = 3g

Speed Ecipse = GST or GSX

Ricer Eclipse = GS or RS

 

thats stereotyping. Thats not always true

 

well i think what he meant was... if you are going for best possible looks and don't really care about speed... that's how i was at first, i wouldn't call myself a ricer, i do have performance upgrades to it and i didn't overkill or go overobard on the car so... i'd just say i'm all show and no go, but that'll soon change

 

exactly, my friends got a 2g gs-t that was ****in riced up the wall when he bought it, it is slowly starting to work its way back to the stock appearance tho. hes also sportin a big 16g under the hood.

 

Why not get an 06 or 07 GT. I can testify it's fast for stock, and looks awesome.
