WTB: 2G Eagle Talon or Mitsu Eclipse (Tsi, TSI AWD, GST, GSX)

[blueAEDgrandam]

Looking for 2nd generation eclipse/talon turbo model (AWD or FWD is fine)

97--99 (the newer the better)

must be in good condition paint wise, engine wise.



PREFERRED
Leather
Sunroof
Power everything.
"Turbo" spoiler (the tall one, for the late person)

Required:
5 speed
no GS or RS


I am looking to pay NADA Retail for one of these cars, and not much over. (7500 tops for an extremely good condition 98 GST/GSX) with decent mileage (under 100k must, under 80k preferred)

Having trouble finding one because people are mislisting prices or listing several thousand (try 6) over retail, and its a headache.

Guess the sale with guy didn't go through.....Sorry I can't help you, good luck on the searching.

Just to add. Rust and tons of paint scratches (including ones all the way to the primer) does not mean a car is in "excellent" condition or "clean."

From what I have heard you are having some engine trouble.

[Sikracing97gst]

you could say that :raging: , haha you have no idea, you should of seen the numbers it through at me when i did a compression test. So i've been through hell and back to find a guy to build up a new 7bolt head for me, found a guy in florida that im dealing with at the moment.......

Needless to say im looking for a new car

did you do the compression test the right way. Did you wet the cyclinders and retest. You need to narrow the problem down might be a simple fix. I have a 2 g head if you need one

Well, its all bank trouble really. Id love to buy your car or another 1g and be done with a purchase. But the bank wont give me a personal loan, only a collateral based loan. And 1Gs are all considered too old now to loan on. So im kinda screwed on them.

is a 95 too old? 118k miles, gst, good condition, but a few minor scratches

Yeah man good luck finding one. Ya I listed mine a little higher than retail I just want to get "some" of the money I put into it back out. But its a little bit better to search for a car with cash in hand, much easier and no hassle, not to mention loans are gay and have interest.

Its also hard for a college student working part time to walk around with 7 grand in his pocket.

:why:

Its also hard for a college student to pay for a loan every month, maybe you should find a cheaper car or keep the one u got ;)

[blueAEDgrandam]

I can afford payments, thats not a problem.

But id rather have the car and pay it off over 2 years rather than waiting 2 years to get a new car.
