For sale 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse-4 Cyl. Convertible 2D GS-T Spyder $1800obo
One Owner
Overall this car is a good find for someone with a little time on their hands. That is what I do not have and I have 8 cars now and many projects. My wife is really tired of me getting cars to fix and never doing anything to house or just not having time. I need to get rid of some. I just do not have any time for this right now and need to get rid of some cars. This can be a really nice car with just a little bit of love. The Nada price for clean retail is $4250. I figured with less than $500 in parts and some time it could be a really nice car. I just do not have the time at all. Price is $1800 obo. I would say the car is not really drivable to get it home. It does run and drive, just not great. I have a car trailer and can help deliver (you pay for the gas) the car if a price is agreed and the distance is not too far. Call me and we can talk.
I got this car from a friend who was the original owner. She is in her 40's and was the only owner. She used it to drive from Woodbridge to Fredericksburg everyday for a good 15 years. The car runs, but the engine does not run smooth. The car overheated when the radiator pipe came off. She shut it down when she realized it overheated so it did not totally kill the engine. The head gasket has gone.
Now I was going to rebuild the engine with a rebuild kit anyone can get for $276 off ebay Rebuild kit . It might just need a head gasket only as the timing belt and water pump have been changed about 1-2 years ago, but I was just going to get the kit and do it all myself. The garage also said the shocks were leaking a bit so that might need replacing and costs $99 Shocks. The drivers side door is also ripped so a cover or new seat should be in order and I found one for $85 Seat. The top is in really good condition and only has one small tear in it so a cheap clear repair kit would do the trick. Kit If I get to pepboys or something they should have a kit to fix it and I might get that done here if I have time. I radio works sometimes, but it is old and you can get a new one from Best Buy or something like that.
This can and will be a really nice car for someone with the time to do it.
