Hi guys. First post here. I'm going to be a proud DSM owner soon. Here's the car I'm looking at:
Here is the AutoTrader link
Make sure to check out the photos as well. In addition to what's listed, the owner has informed me of the following mods currently on it:
John Shepard tranny triple synchro on 1st and 2nd, replaced 2nd gear, replaced 5th gear (reportedly good to 180, but also said it was built to same spec of the 8.6 second Talon the shop drags)
New center diff.
ABS on this particular model
HKS 3 inch exhaust super dragger titanium
HKS 3 inch downpipe
greddy intercooler pipes, upper and lower
k and n intake
17 inch motegi wheels
greddy turbo timer
greddy type-s blow off valve
stillen front bumper painted
97 eclipse headlights

He's asking $10,000 on the site.
Tell me what you guys think. Thanks.

But DEFINATELY worth a good deal, and a weekend cruising around in your brand new Eclipse!

Woopsie, every car you showed us was a VA car, so I figured you'd moved or something.
 
Strange coincidence, actually. I had no idea that any of them were.
I think this post is pretty much over until I find another car for you guys to rate...if any of you care to follow me through my car hunting escapades and go talk PMs or AIM or something, hit me up.
Peace
 
Too much for either of those. $7K for my '95 a year-and-a-half ago, 66K. I still don't understand why the Eclipses pull in so much more money. Same car.

I dont get it either, an eclipse will run about a grand more, according to N.A.D.A...kind of rediculous.

Which is odd cause I thought Talons weren't as available as eclipse's for the 2G...at least around here I never see 2G talons, only 1G
 
It looks nice and clean. I really like the rebuilt shep tranny and only basic performance upgrades. However, 10K is still a bit high. My Talon (I know they're cheaper, but still) was 6K with 90K on it, a couple less features, and the following mods:

10" Sub powered by 150W amp
Tints all around
Front strut
Eibach Springs
Tokico Shocks
Catback
Hiflow cat
Boost controller
Air Filter
Boost & AF gauges

See if you can get it for more like 8K.
