Hey everybody, i just set up a potential deal for my first dsm. Its a 97 gsx manual. I have looked into smart buying guides, the used car buyers guide on this site, and any general help from my mechanic dad, car dealers, and anybody else i know, but i also want input from this community, as it is where most of the real knowledge is at about these cars. So here is the lay out:
1997 Mitsubishi eclipse gsx, 87xxx miles, all stock except for blow off valve and some intake. The car does not start. It needs the ac compressor, clutch master cylinder, brake light sensor, and crankshaft position sensor, and the 3 gauge panel to the left on the inside (triple pillar pod) need to be replaced. All of these parts the seller has and will be part of the sale, and all of these repairs were found out when the seller took the car to a mechanic. Price is $2500. Since the car doesnt start, i wont be able to do a lot of the performance checks until it runs again, but i am hoping with its low mileage that it wont be a scary ordeal. Since the car is in Virginia, i also asked the seller about rust, i was told it is superficial and almost wipes off. The car used to run, and the seller did not ride it hard.
Thats all i can remember for info on it. I would like to know what you guys think and if there is anything you would be suspicious of or dont like the sound of. Thanks a ton, pictures following.
