i am looking at buying a 02 eclipse gs from a privte party. note: ive never owned or driven a mitsubishi. the car is in good condition with 90000 miles. kelly blue book says the value of the car is at $6800. the owner is asking $10000, however he has put about $5000 in the car. such changes include body kit, headers, exhaust, cold air intake, rims, a lowering of 2", hi preformance shocks, struts, springs, very good audio system, interior lights, and a few other preformance parts that dont come to mind at the moment. is this a decent buy or a complete rip off? any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

 

rip off! they are slow my bbrother has a 2002 eclipse gs he got it for 10k with half those miles! and frick the body kit damn rice! yo ucan get a better deal

 

Ya, you will be happy with the looks/sound, but dissapointed with the performance..

 

I would certainly buy one but NOT that one... I found an 02 GT in Texas from the
origional owner w/84K miles. Paid 4800 and got in it and drove it home (710 Miles).
Have had it for two years and the only expenses have been a set of tires and a battery.
This is my second one. Great little car, excellent mileage (mine gets 29.5 to 30.5)
Suggest you get the 3.0L V6, 5 Speed Manual... Do Some more shopping !!!
