Default Could use a little help

well i got a new budget of $4000. im lookin for a 95-99 gsx. i dont really want a talon because i dont like the taillights and dont wanna do the conversion myself. so i need help finding websites to use so far i have been using:

craigslist.com
dsmsource.com
and thats all i have found to be helpful, autotrader and carsoup didnt help much.


only reason i am looking for a 2g is because my parents want me to get a newer car

mabey the price of talons is just a lot cheaper than the Mitsu's but there's now way in hell somebody would like a 97-99 eclipse GSX go for 3500 bucks in that good of shape and w/ a CF hood... i'd be skeptical.

honestly i don't think ur going to find a running GSX in good shape for 4k.... there are 2 non running ones on Autotrader going for 5k and 5500. i'd save another 2k if i were you to make sure ur not getting some piece of junk.

Why do people change Talons to look like Eclipses? I loathe that. I wonder how many perfectly good Talon bumpers end up at the curb??

idk i cant stand the look of the rear bumper/taillights of ANY year of talons. thats their only downfall for me.
