So my wifes dream car is a Mitsu eclipse convert, and we happen to find one that looks great. A 98 GS with 94xxx miles on it. My question is, are they good reliable cars? What are big things I should look for?

Looking for any help here cause last time I bought a used car it was a total lemon and I can't afford that hassel and headache again

Thanks

Whoever said V6 mustang convert--best option. That's the ultimate barbie-mobile. Your wife will love it.

Or why not a 6th gen convertible?

Its not new enough for her. Right now shes looking at the Damn MR2 spyder, so I gotta deal with the magic that the car has "the vanishing oil" trick

Theres a Mustang, so I might try her to get that, but I gotta read up on its relibility

BTW have you guys ever been to www.carsurvey.org ?? Its a pretty cool site where you can write feedback and stuff about all cars

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
