My eclipse was my first car. I bought it bout six years ago from my sis for somewhere around 2700. Not sure the exact amount. She married a guy from wales and moved there, so she needed out from under the loan. So my parents took it over and I paid them back when I got my first job.

When the motor blew, I had a 92 sunbird convertible for a while. It was a pos, but it was fairly quick, and when the top still worked it was pretty kick ass. Put a cai and a z24 hood on it and painted the interior black cause the chick that had it before me ruined the white interior with her cigarettes. White = cool, Gross ass yellow... not so much. I was gonna keep it after I got my eclipse working, just for something to mod out and beat the shit out of, but it kept spittin out motors, so I sold it for the last 400 dollars I needed to get my eclipse runnin. The nice thing about those cars is that the 3.1 engine they run on is a dime a dozen, so you can walk into a junkyard anyday of the week and buy a running motor for 300 dollars, sometimes less. Sensors were less than a fifth of the price that the ones the eclipse cost me... Basically the eclipse breaks less often but costs more to fix when it does. The sun bird broke all the time, but it was nickles and dimes, until my second 300 dollar engine in six months, that's when shit got gay.
