Sucks how each car is so different in price. My car only had 40K miles on it and I only paid $8,900 for it. Fully loaded 01 Eclipse GT 3.0 w/leather and it already had a CAI and Borla exhaust. Would be nice if you could talk that price down a little bit.

make sure the body is in good condition I heard there is a connection with the drive shaft and the body I am not sure where it is connecting. but I heard if that connection is loose it will cost you about $1500 and if you dont fix ix the body of the car will be shaking a lot just like a tire problem thats what Iheard wnated you to know.
what are you talking about?? the FWD cars have no drive shaft

Thx for the info B.e.R.a.T , is any any more that I should look for for this car? Any info thats standard issues with this car would be great barganning chips if you know what I mean.

Any 3G (pref. 2001) owners in here that might be able 2 give me some tips on maintenence any care for it? that should give me clues 2 look for.

I took a good look at the car, looks mint condition and pretty ok maintained, but no one can ever know until they've seen it raised right?

Thanks again I appreciate the help.

normal problems are lifter tick, on manual trannys they have loud noisey throw out bearings, sunroofs seem to work off and on as well as car alarms, rotors worp very easy, dsash boards are notorious to crack it the car is raced a little bit. all of which are not bad problems just things thqat can be agrivqating. I have has 2 2000+ eclipses both have had all of these except for the dash and on didnt have a sunroof
