$250.00 for my 1991 GS 114,000 miles with a broken timing belt and a bunch of broken valves. The best purchase of my life. Getting a broken one and rebuilding it thought me a lot about my car which is coming in handy now that I am modifying it.

 

[saintsairforce]

I paid $800 Canadian for mine at auction 3 weeks ago. It's a 91 laser. I've put in another $600 into it since, and redid the body and intake system. Also bought a new muffler. Looking into a new exhaust system if my budget allows it. It had 150,000 kilometers on it when I bought it. I plan to post some articles of all the mods I've done in the next few weeks.

1998 bought my 91 gsx for $6500. (I was in the army I was a dumb kid with what I thought was money ) Last April bought my 95 esi for $3450. I wanted a turbo all I could find was a N/T. Maybe one day I'll get a tsi or gst if I find one I'm willing to pay for with a trad of my N/T.

 

[FireyIce01]

Bought my '95 GSX rear-ended for $2000.

It came with Fluidyne Aluminum Radiator, Dual slim fans, Eibach springs, 4 way GAB shocks, Centerforce DF Clutch, Walboro 255, Stainless steel brake and clutch lines, vented rotors and Rota Slipstream 16x8 rims.

Picking up a clean Talon TSI shell for $250 for parts in the next couple weeks (when I can drive up to oregon and pick it up)

 

[CoastlineRock]

95 GSX with abt. 150,000 for $5,500. Thanks for a great deal Jack!!!

 

[J-speed99]

I paid $18,000 for my 99 GST in Jan. 2000
$750 for my 91 TSI awd auto 2 years ago
$1000 for my 91 TSI awd man 3 months ago
Yes I have three DSMs you would think I would learn.

 

[gotlag]

Got my 95 GSX Auto for trade by rebuilding a 3.0 DOHC for a 3000GT.

Motor had a spun rod, they tried to put a crank kit in it and a dealer new cyl head. They immediately spun a rod, so when I got it went all through it with new dealer crank, and all the other "speed parts" in my profile. Means I have a bit into it, but its all new. And today tranny went, but got a great deal on a auto trans,x-case, TCU,etc.

I'll always remember this as the most expensive "free" car I have ever obtained, but I love it so far, and now I know everything that has been done as well as where every nut,bolt, and wire is!! Looks like I am another lifetime DSM'r in the making!!!

And it isn't a beater either. Perfect leather interior and dash, and needs a front cover (curb damage) and thats about it.

 

[toofasttsi]

i payed 500$ for my 90 TSI talon

 

[FullyBuiltDSM]

93 eclipse gsx with a blow motor picked it up for $500 in south carolina mint condition no scratches or dents. car had 120,000 on it when the timing belt went

 

[will90Eclipse]

I paid $1000 for my clipse

 

[16G/2gnt]

Picked up a 97 Talon NT (~40k miles) by taking over the payments for my ex-girlfriend, around $4000 about five years ago. It currently has an HRC stage II Turbo System.
1990 Talon DOHC NT (100k miles) for $1500 two years ago. Now it needs a HG. I think it had a JDM put in it. That's not a good sign given the odometer reading.
1991 TsiAWD (80k miles) $800 just this week. It cranks but has no spark. Hopefully it will run by the end of the weekend.

 

[m3th0d]

95 TSI AWD 3,250 a few months ago with 140,000 does that sound correct? hopefully I didnt over pay..oh yeah it came with a nice leak in the exhaust manifold.

 

[SBstar]

I'll add to the list. 1990 Eagle Talon TSI AWD for 1300, a few mods done already. A lot of fixing to do. It's almost completely in shape to go to the track, hopefully before they all close this year.

 

[totaleclipse_05]

1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS, 106,000 miles, completely stock, I became second owner, bought from Mitsubishi dealership for $4500 back in October of 2004.

 

[04scooby]

$800 - '92 Eclipse GSX - missing battery and need new turbo, but other than that, not much else except some TLC. Got it from an older guy (late 30's), im the 3rd owner, and well, just needing to get the wiring harness's, battery, and a few other things and i should have it up and running... then when i get my chevy sold, ill have hopefully about $6500 to put into the car, and when you have that much to put into a car, be ready... hahahah.... i cant wait...

 

[Pure92TSi]

got my 92 TSi AWD (6/4 bolt combo) for 3,850 with a lot of new parts 117,000 on chassis and 7000 on new engine mostly stock but a few small mods. Also has the black leather interior, red with black wheels

 

[Spaniel1287]

I bought my 1995 Talon FWD Automatic with 89,000 miles on it for $4,300. As you can see from my picture it is in nice condition. It was imaculate. It isnt a lie when you buy a car in florida you get it very very cheap. I bought it with absolutely no mods at all also.

 

[spyderturbo98]
