Hello everyone, I have a couple questions. I'm looking at a used 1996 Automatic Mitsubishi Eclipse GST for a daily. I took the car for a spin, and everything checks out. Good brakes, tires, power, steering etc.....only problem I found when function testing everything was that the shifter would not shift into low gear "L". It felt like there was a pin or other physical barrier blocking me out. The car drove and shifted perfectly otherwise though as far as I could tell (This is the first auto DSM I've ever driven. FWIW I have a 97 manual GSX - this will be my 3rd DSM).
What I want to know is, is this a big problem that is a sign of a faulty transmission? Or is it a simple fix/non-issue? What are some things I should look out for on an auto DSM? He said he bought the car this way and never had an issue.
It's also a little beat up, it looks better in photos than in person but overall it's alright considering it's bone stock still. The cruise, AC and accessories all work properly. He's asking $4900 cad ($3880 usd), he's a young lad and his dad his helping him sell it. What do you guys think it's worth?
