60945, FS: Please someone buy my car (Im desperate). $4500 and its sold. Posted by MmmDeion, Nov-17-04 01:17 PM
Ok, in this post I am going to give you ALL the information I can about my car, keeping nothing a secret. If it does turn out that someone from this board is interested in my car I don't want there to be any suprises if it is purchased.
I have had this car since March 2002. I bought it with 63,000 miles on the car, and right now it has 94,000. It is a red 1997 Mitsbishi Eclipse GS, with minimal mods to keep me semi-interested. It was purchased without a turbo, then I had put a Star Stage 1 on it back in June 2003, and took it off March 2004 (and it has been n/a since). The turbo kit was too much of a hassel for me, and my budget, so I had sold it to a member on here, totally forgot who it was though. The reason I am selling this car is because I am in the very long process of moving (house was supposed to be done in march, and it is now november, and Im living in an apartment). I have no garage anymore, no car lift, no engine lift, no tools, etc. (you get the idea). I would love to fix everything on this and sell it for more, I just dont have the resources anymore, so hopefully someone on here does and can make a good profit from fixing the few problems the car has.
As the car stands right now, I would say it is 7/10 cosmetically. The paint is in very good condition, but there is a dent on the left drivers side fender, which has yet to be banged out. There are small nicks in the paint, being that the car is 7 years old now. The rest of the mods are listed below, with an explanation next to each, to give you a very good idea of how the car is doing. Exterior: - Black housing project head lights (good condition, never had a problem) - CF Hood with red hood pins (currently off the car, and sitting in storage so it does not get damged in the winter. OEM hood is included in the price.) - RMDSM lip (as seen in the picture, it is now in 1,000 pieces, thrown away, so it will not be included in the price of the car. It costs only $180 shipped, so if you are interested I can give you a website to buy it from) Interior: - No CD Player (it was stolen back in July 2003, so I have been without a radio since then) - All interior pieces (except plastic lining that goes on the inside of the hatch glass is in good condition, with little wear here and there) Suspension: - KYB AGX Shock (except front right shock which is now a Monroe because my other shock bent. Here, I would also like to note that the shocks do squeek when going over bumps, so it is suggested that if that bothers you to replace the suspension.) - Ground Control Coilovers (in the below pic the front coilovers are all the way down, currently I have them raised 1/2 the way because of the snow fall, I didn't want any complications. Besides that, they are in perfect working order). - Front and rear strut bars (good condition, no problems) Exhaust: - 2.5" Stainless steel Thermal R&D catback exhaust (there use to be a test pipe in place of the cat, but now the cat is back on so I could pass emitions which was done on 08/04, expires 08/06.) Engine: - As I stated before the engine had a star performance stage 1 turbo kit on it, which has now been removed. The Walbro 255lph in-tank fuel pump is still on there, as well as the Vortech FMU. The injectors are back to stock. I also have a AFX UDP on right now, which has caused nightmares for me. The alternator belt is currently on, squeaks every now and then, and there is no power steering belt on because the tensioner is bad (easily replacable, but like I said, I am garage-less now). Besides that the engine is totally stock (no CAI or anything like that). It has 94,000 miles, with an oil change every 3,000 miles.
As of now, that is all I can think of off the top of my head. The Apexi Turbo Timer is still in the car so you can have the O2, and voltage readout, as well as the turbo timer option (doesn't do anything, but its cool to walk away from your car when its still running without the key in it). Right now the only picture I have of it is the one in my sig, which shows the suspension lowered (raised for now), CF hood on (which is off for now, in storage), and the RMDSM lip (which is broken, so it is not included in the price). I will take more pictures if people are actually interested.
If anyone is interested in purchasing this car please email me first, then we can discuss other arangments. I live in Rhode Island, and shipping, unfortunatly, is not an option. If anyone is in the area (Conn., Mass., New York, hell, even New Jersey, etc.) let me know and Ill gladly meet you half way to drop off the car for inspection. My email address is obeahclan@yahoo.com. Thanks again, sorry about the long post, just wanted everything to be perfectly clear before I set up anything up. :-)

Have you already tried in like AutoTrader and stuff? You honestly might be able to get that much on Ebay just get some more updated clear pics inside and outside and you should do pretty good, as long as you make it look like its actually your car cuz a lot of people put cars for sale on EBay that dont look very legit. But whats the worse you could lose, just put a reserve at $4500 or start it there and if you dont sell it u will at least get people intersted in it, more advertisemnt, and u might lose a few bucks but its the chance u take. Your car looks pretty clean you should do pretty good. IMO

lol, yea it shattered. I guess thats what happens when you keep the lip on and try driving down the roads with 6 inches of snow on the ground :shrug , but let me tell you, I made an AWESOME plow for the day!
And I was tryin to see if I could sell it without the paying the price of putting it up on Ebay, shit gets expensive after awhile. Oh well.
