1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST. Car starts and runs great. I bought the car from a guy locally who didn’t have the time and money to do the routine maintenance this car needed at the time. I have been driving the car all summer so far with no issues its very fun and responsive. All maintenance this car would need is done and completed. All of the front ball joints were replaced as were the tie rods. The headgasket, water pump, timing & balance shaft belts were replaced. The clutch feels good and was told by the previous owner that it was replaced 6 months before i got it (around 5,000 miles) and felt fine and should last a long time so it was not addressed when I was working on the car over winter. The car also has a brand new OEM alternator and battery. Some worn out and or broken OEM pieces were replaced with better high quality aftermarket parts as list below. The only issues with the car is the cars key is slightly bent as it was when I got it so the door locks can be tricky to get to work, there is a slight scuff on the passenger side fender show in a picture from a previous owner. The tan carpet was stained beyond repair no tears or rips so I dyed it black which I think looks better. The center rear trunk panel has a crack in it which isn’t really and issue.

It’s still a DSM. And your VW is always in your driveway with the hood up EVERYTIME I drive past your house. It still is slow so you obviously aren’t modding it to go faster. This leads me to believe it’s always broken down :lol
I used to have the exact same car except maroon in color, and it was completely flawless inside and out. Not a dent, scratch, or stain anywhere. It was an awesome car and I do miss it… lightly modded and very reliable… I sold it 6 years ago (car was only 5 years old at the time) with 110k miles for $6250 to some kid here in albany… I wouldn’t be suprised if hes still around… he used to hang out at the lot with it years ago… Who knows, maybe hes even on the site…
good luck with the sale, I’d have another one of these except I have kids and car seats wont fit in the back… Someone will be happy with it…
so maybe my old car is still kicking around? I really dont remember the kids name I sold it to, but Nick seems to ring a bell… hard to believe its been 6+ years since I sold it… time flies…
