1998 black Eclipse Spyder GS original owner. I love this car, still admire her when i walk away sometime haha.
Just hit 185,000 yesterday!!!, the only problems I have had is with things wearing out , just replace them when they need it, like automaitc transmission (got this because new wife could not drive manual) went out at 143,000 miles 1st real issue with her but its expected, last year replaced rims (old ones refused to keep the air inside) replaced top. the car runs and idles like brand new.
THE ONLY REAL GRIPE I HAVE IS THAT THE CLEAR COAT STARTED COMING OFF ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO!!, which is sad since I have took such good care of her, I have decided to get a Vantage V8 manual (she is the old wife now and keep the spyder as second car. Now deciding if its worth repainting quoted $4,000 to strip down to metal and redue.
Oh yeah forgot had to put new pins in convertible top motors, love this site!!!
