I purchased a 1995 Eclipse RS in August 2008, for my daughter to use for college. Here it is again a year later and the car has cost me money to replace radiator, rotors, calipers, transmission serviced, and a lot more other maintenance and now the timing belt/water pump is bad. Stalled right in the middle of the highway without warning. Could have gotten killed. Either way, I've invested a lot of money in this car and my daughter is in college and still no car. What a waste, my daughter only got a chance to drive it less than 10 times because every time something else went wrong. Very disappointed with this purchase. Wanted to trade it in for cash for clunkers, but it didn't run and I've exhausted all my funds.
Check it out, I just bought this 1995 Eclipse GSX Turbo, and I'm wondering where's a good place to find a grille? The only repairs I've had to make have been the steering knuckle, and a wheel bearing, also the door pins on the drivers side door. All in all I'm satisfied with the car, paid 3200 for a beautiful car.
Eclipses are not friendly everyday cars. But if you know how to take care of it, then it's a wonderful little machine to own. I'm now on my third Eclipse, and it's got problems. But, it sure beats anything else in terms of fun, gas mileage (27-30) and decent looks. Not to mention the car was only $2,000. I'm sorry, but a Civic of the same year is twice as much. I'd rather buy this and put a new transmission in.
