2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse review from North America
"Pimp looking ride with no resale value!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car itself is really nice! I would love to buy an 2006 BUT the resale value of these car stink really bad... I paid 21900.00 May be lucky to get 8500.00 out of the car!
The doors of the car have always been hard to keep open they swing theirselves back shut!!Everyone HATEs my car because of that!
I forgot to say the PAINT IS HORRIBLE on these cars! I clean my car frequently..and do not go through automatic car washes but yet the clearcoat is fading and looking horrible on this car..will have to have iT painted SOON!!
Service engine soon light came on yesterday at only 105,000.00 I keep the oil change every 3,000 miles... and didn't know what the problem was, come to find out there was too much pressure in the gas tank!They thought it was the air condenser !Went to autozone to find that out, because no local dealership can deal with mitsubishi's!!!
Unless you live close to a dealership, don't buy this car!!No one will work on them when something goes wrong!!!
General comments?
The car handles the road awesome!!!
But resale value sucks... so unless you are planning on keeping this car forever... I would advise sticking to something such as a honda or a celica!
The backseat is WAY to short for anyone to ride back there comfortable other than a child!
But I love the way these car look on the road!!!
