I'm trying to buy a 2000-2002 Eclipse GT, I'm mostly only familliar with 3000gt's what should i look for when purchasing the car? are there any recalls? Thanks

Also I have a 95 vr-4 for sale.

 

Sorry to ask something totally irrelevent but... why a 3G?

 

I would rather have a 97-99 gsx or gs-t spyder, but there are none for sale near me. I also don't want to wait until my other car is sold because that could be a while. The only thing available in my area are the 3G's and not many of them. So I'll wait and get a gsx when I can.

 

the 3g has plenty of potential but why go from a vr-4 to a 3g?

 

Less insurance Costs

 

werd, anyway the 4g64 is very reliable and basically just look for normal things when buying it. oil level, look for oil under the car, see how she drives, check for uneven tire wear.

 

3G's are awesome reliable cars as are most mitsubishis. My mom is the owner of a 2003 Eclipse and has had no problems whatsoever. They are great cars and I would highly recommend one especially the V6. Good choice IMO. Also I think its better than buying a used 2G because you will most likely get one with the electrical problems or it will be beat to hell.

 

well my bro has a 2002 eclipse gs(4g64) no problems yet, but if you are going to sell a vr-4 for it i would at least go for a V6

 

the 4g64's are pushin close to the same HP as the 6g72's when it comes to forced induction so keep that in mind. also its easier to do an evo swap if you just get a gs eclipse. the turbo kit for the 6g72 runs about $5,000 plus install and tuning. the kit for the 4g64 is much less expensive. P.S. do not get an RS model.

 

hes talkin about a 3rd gen lol only 1st and 2nd gens have 4g63s and yes the 4g63 may have as much power as the 6g72 but boost ownes NA IMO. and i doubt he is planning on turboing it? but if so www.tearstone.com
