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.

great price for a dd

 

[H@xtGSX]

WTF

....For $500?! I had to completely re-upholster my car to get it like that... and mine was $1200. Granted, it is a GSX but still, looks count for the vast majority of price, that is proven... And that looks like more than $500.

[mr talon man]

How good are the 420a's on gas?

I get 384 miles per tank but thats no puhsing it

 

[H@xtGSX]

...and you didn't sell it? I would put up with the minor inconvenience of having to look some more and flipped it. That's just me though, a money grubbing car junkie.

Yea, honestly I am a big hypocrite for that statement. I have been offered 6k for mine.... Except I have put over 7k in it and hundreds of hours of work. My car isn't priceless to me, but the price tag is unreasonably high... Though if someone so rich they fart nickles comes by and offered me 20k.... Sold!
