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 This post has been edited by Jeremy1210: Apr 17, 2006 - 8:05 AM |

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? |

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 |
