Okay, someone is selling a 97 GS-T with 42,000miles, auto, cloth interior, 18inches, gsx spoiler, power everything, slightly modded, like strut bars, tokico shocks, underbody sway bar for $12,000CDN.

The thing is, it has been overheated before and now has been repaired. It has also been in an accident that caused the airbag to pop. Now I don't know how much the damage was so I need your guys' opinions.

$12,000???

thats too much....but you are in canada so from my understanding eclipses are a lot more expensive up there. the air bag is pretty expensive to fix...im gonna guess $1000. if it was overheated then there is a chance they could have warped the head or fried a piston ring. Go check the car out, im not a fan of auto trannies but if thats what u want then its kewl.

Go check it out, get a compression test done and see how it turns out. if you dont feel comfortable buying it, then maybe take it to a reputable mechanic around you and have them inspect the whole car.

if the accident was bad then frame damage is possible and thats not a good thing at all...check www.carfax.com and throw in the vin number and pay 12 bux and see what comes up if ur serious about buying it or just take the mechanics word.

good luck
