Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX (1996)
for sale

Price: US $3,500.00

Description:

I’ve owned this car for 6 years now, and bought it from a good friend of mine when we were in college. I know the car has been taken care of and has been well built throughout its life. I have a lot of history with this car and put a lot of time and effort into her; it’s truly going to hurt to have to sell such a clean, rare, and well-built DSM.
I want to be completely honest while selling this car because I want the next owner to enjoy and care for it as much as I did. All Wheel Drive, 5 speed, turbo Eclipses are growing increasingly rare, especially ones that are this clean. I would part the car out and get more money than I’m asking, but I would like to see it live on and give someone else as much fun as it has for me.
While the car is well built performance wise, there are minor cosmetic flaws that are listed, in detail, in the modification list below. The cosmetic defects are so minor that the car still looks amazing as you can see from the pictures. Overall this is a powerful, yet streetable, car that looks great.
Although this car is mechanically sound and can be driven as you please, this is a modified car made for racing and should be treated as such.
