I am the second owner of this eclipse and have had plenty of fun with it.  It is currently sitting around because I am not around to drive it.  When I bought it in 2007, it had a dent in the passenger side fender, door, and hood.  There was a massive amount of rust under the rear deck lid.  Once I had time, I tore the thing apart, and replaced the hood, fender, and hatch.  I took the third brake light out of a gs wing and fabbed it into the gst wing.  Then I gave it a new paint job with white and orange pearl mixed over a bright white base coat.  Once I decided on colors, I had pin stripes painted on as well as the cars name, "evil" painted on the bumper.  At that time, I also replaced the rear hub assemblies and all the brakes.  Now both of the fenders are a bit dinged up, after a few years dealing with city parking, and the windshield has a nice crack.  There is also a bit of rust under the hood and a small spot by the gas refill.  The tranny needs some work, but I have been driving it for almost 4 years with no 4th gear.  It has worked for me and if I were to keep it, it would be my next project. 

I have recently replaced the headlights with aftermarket halo lights.  The turbo was rebuilt in Summer of 2011.  The water pump and timing belt were replaced this past November.  This car also comes with 18" Antera 3 piece rims with summer tires.  2 tires probably only have 1 summer left on them, but the other 2 have some good life left.  The stock rims are currently mounted with winter tires on them.  When I got the car there was already a GReddy blow off valve, Apexi turbo timer, cold air intake, nology plug wires, and a 3" magnaflow exhaust.  The 3 aftermarket guages down the A pilar are the boost guage, air/fuel ratio, and oil pres. guage.  Wires from subs I used to have are still ran to the trunk, they just need to be reconnected.  The head unit installed is Alpine. 

With the new water pump, timing belt, and rebuilt turbo, this car is ready to keep going.  Like any 15 year old car, it takes some attention and fixes every once in a while.  Anyone who has owned one understands.  It's a fun and quick car and it is definitely hard for me to let it go. 

Winning bidder is responsible for pickup or lining up shipping.  Full payment is required at the time of pickup in cash is preferred.  I obtain the right to end this sale at any time I see fit.  Thanks for looking.

I wanted to to post an update with a couple things I have thought of concerning the condition of the car.  The driver side door has some damage(body work) that's not very noticeable and still opens fine.  A clip on the passenger side door handle has broken off, so the handle is loose, but stays on the car and still works.  The hatch "shocks" probably need replaced soon as they don't always hold up the hatch.  The sunroof rattles when it is open and you go over bumps.  All it needs is tightening, but I forgot to do so before I left.  The upholstry for the inside cover for the sunroof is starting to come off.  There are "racing" seatbelts installed, but still have stock belts.  The passenger side racing belts' clip is broken.  The driverside seat has a tear in it.  I'm not sure you can see it in the pics.  A couple of the summer wheels that come with the car have a few spots where they hit a curb, but the chrome rim can be replaced since they are a 3 piece rim.  That is all I can think of.  I want to be as honest as possible, so please, if you have any questions, let me know.  Thanks

This month's deals on wheels: 3 cars with incentives, rebates

Fri, Apr 7 2017

On television, they come at you rapid-fire: truck deals, car deals, SUV deals. You don't have time to read the fine print, and many sound too good to be true. What follows are three deals that are both good and true. And check out our entire list of incentives and rebates. VOLKSWAGEN JETTA: With Dieselgate winding down and VW's all-new three-row SUV – the Atlas – winding up, Volkswagen is selling sedans with incentives. The Jetta remains VW's bestseller in the US. If you're looking for an immodest deal on modest transportation, you can do worse than a lease on the 2017 Jetta S. THE DETAILS: Purchase at 0.9% APR (no down payment required, available on new 2017 Jetta models financed by Volkswagen Credit, participating dealers only). At that rate, you could save $1,600 over the life of a loan. Offer ends May 1, but given the tepid market interest in sedans, incentives will probably continue through the balance of the model year. NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB: While some buyers will wait for Nissan's recently announced Titan King Cab, and commercial users will grab the regular cab and 8-foot bed, we'll recommend a lightly optioned 4X4 crew cab with standard V8 power, California-penned sheetmetal and a made-in-America footprint. Nissan's full-size pickup is finally a credible competitor in the pickup segment. THE DETAILS: With $3,500 cash back, on top of whatever deal you negotiate, Nissan is effectively reducing the window sticker of a Titan S crew cab by almost 10 percent. MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER: Some cars show up on buyers' radar, some don't. Some aren't anywhere near the radar room. Mitsubishi's Outlander is one of those. But that doesn't diminish its basic attractiveness, especially for young families looking for an affordable three-row SUV with responsive power and competitive features. Add one of the industry's longest warranties and a compelling deal, and you suddenly have reason to track down a Mitsubishi dealer. THE DETAILS: It couldn't be simpler – negotiate your best deal on a 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander, and then receive a $2,000 rebate; on a remaining 2016, it's $3,000. We'd select a fully-equipped GT 3.0S – AWC, which hooks Mitsubishi's V6 to a conventional automatic (vs. a CVT on lower-priced models) and all-wheel drive. That's a window sticker of about $34,000, and you can count on an aggressive posture by the dealer to get your business. Mitsubishi Nissan Volkswagen Car Buying Buying Guide Truck SUV Sedan
