my $500 dd/beater

[above118]

Whats goin on fellas (and ladies). Figured id post up my 97 RS auto ohdamn I just picked up from my brothers GF. For $500 She was the only owner since brand new. 184xxx miles but it has been well taken care of and i got a folder FILLED with every reciept that was serviced for the car. This is my 1st ECLIPSE,but im not new into the car world. Ive owned two 3000gts,hand full of hondas and trucks. But anyway onto the pics...


Headlights look dull only bc i have NU Finish on them right now.

[NeWyoRksPLaYaZ]

its nice and clean, for $500 u seriously cant go wrong! parting out would make that money back if you needed to . Congrats

 

[above118]

thanks guys,yea i just couldnt pass up that deal. nahh no parting out haha

 

[my dreamt dsm]

Wow! Nice! Nothing beats receipts for everything. It's just makes the car feel more secure.

 

[2gSpyder4g64]

damn good deal dude
looks well taken care of and really clean

and idk how the guy sold it for only $500 being him the first owner , i would be to atached to a car like that to sell it for that price haha

 

[Boosted DSM 32]

Hell of a deal you could easily double your money right now if you wanted to but id keep it you got an awesome deal! one thing i would say is dont beat on the car especially with those many miles the transmission wont hold up to that abuse just make it a slow but nice looking ride!!

 

[Bud92gsx]

Whoally shit.Woman owned, always maintained. Damm clean, even the stock airbox.For 500 shells

 

[Chrispy0530]

$500 for a car in that condition? That is a complete steal.

I recently just bought a 95 ESi that came with a bad bottom end, for $500 to fix up and make my DD.

 

[Captn]

Looks real nice man good job!

Yea she was attacted to the car but she just got a new........... Mazda
so she was happy to let it go. I actually told her id give her 2k for it but she said all she wanted was $500.....SCORE

 

[boost97gst]

thats officially the best deal on a 2g ive ever seen. Congrats!

Edit: Just fyi, that car in that condition in stl would sell in a very short time for no less than 3000. Hell id pay 3k for it. It is CLEAN. Damn im jealous

 

[psx]

Cleanest 420a ever !!

 

[Leonthefaded]

That car looks like Its never seen a shade tree mechanic ever NICE BUY!

For 500 you can't go wrong. It'll make a nice DD for sure.

 

[alex209]

Nice that's a deal for $500

 

[AK Maniak]

Damn, a car like that would go for upwards of 4k here. Sucks that I'm gonna have to probably fly somewhere to get a clean DSM

 

[BrokenVR4]

I love cheap daily drivers but this one takes it to a new level. Worth more than you paid in scrap metal.

 

[DSMnOOb00]

SCORE! Nice steal you got there.

 

[mantega4g63]

This makes me want to shop around for a 420a, that thing is so nice for $500. My neighbor got one for $1000 just needs paint, but that one is basically mint.

 

[SoopaStar]

hell i would have paid $500 for that just on principle. The body looks really clean, as does the interior. nice going!

 

[shampoo]

Holy cow what a DD!

I would take that over a Civic any day!

How good are the 420a's on gas?

 

[above118]

Thanks fellas!


As for how good on gas,pretty damn good so im told. I dont have tags on the car yet so ill start drivin it around next week. Oh and Gas milg. also depends on how the car is maintained (good tune up,filters,tires..ect) So im sure I wont mind filling it up every other week.
