Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX (1996)
for sale
Price: US $3,500.00
Price: US $3,500.00
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.
