Which model Eclipse to buy?
Ok, so my girlfriend has been looking to try to find something reliable and really likes the 2000-2005 models, what my question is, which model is a better one? The 2000 and up or the 95-99 style? Also, I know the 95-99 models had the 420a engine... what are the 2.4's called? Which would be an easier car to work with if the motor needed a rebuild, tranny, etc? She's looking for something for 5000 or under.. so whatever she gets will have high miles and may need a rebuild. Anyway, thanks for any help you can offer.

the 3g comes with a 2.4L which is the 4g64. However there was also a V6 version of the 3g that came with the 6g72. As far as reliablility goes i would go more toward the 3g. You should be able to find a GS for around 5k.

ok cool, thanks for the info.... as far as mileage goes does anyone know the stats between the 4 and the 6? Obviously the 4 is better, and I have looked it up, but depending on how you drive what has everyone gotten?

my specs are in my signature, so you can judge from that, obviously it will differ vs. a 4 banger or automatic

highway: 29mpg
