    hmmmm might be worth $1,500.00 as a beater college car. needs a new windshield at minimum, need to get a quote on that.

    Good cars. Easy to upkeep. good fuel mileage.
    Around here they have quite a following
    A nice 01 Eclipse inspected could bring up to $3000

    I would consider a 4 cylinder, but, I've seen issues with the 6 cylinder models. They all seem to start using oil around 150-200 k. Then start smoking.

    Mine is a 3.0 v6
    It uses a qt every 3,500 oil change
    I do use 2 steps hotter than stock plug

    At 200,000 miles, I am thinking about pulling the valve seals, and replacing them. Might even freshen the heads. Maybe. It's not smoking
