It's time to move on. This is the last Eclipse I own but I can always buy another one. It was a hell of a lot of fun but now I'm going back 25-30 years to an old love of mine, the much maligned Chevrolet Corvair. I had 13 of the second generation 65-69 models when I lived in Indianapolis and I always wanted to get back into them. I now have 3 Corvairs with two sporting big block V-8s where the back seat used to be.

Thanks for the endorsement.
Here is the ad copy I just finished for the sale. I think I covered everything. Keep in mind this is written for those who might not be familiar with Eclipses.
1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS 105K, 5-speed, 2.0L with Super 16G turbocharger. Power windows, power locks, power steering, power brakes, A/C, Cruise, etc. This car was a pure stock RS when I purchased it in the spring of 2003 with about 57K on it. It was originally registered in New Mexico and has never been on salted roads. There are NO rust issues at all. I am the second owner and it currently has 105K on it. It has been parked outside overnight maybe 5 times since I have owned it. I rarely drive it in the rain because I like to keep it extremely clean inside and out. The car gets 22-24 MPG driven with spirit on city streets and I can easily get 32-36 MPG while highway cruising between 65-70 MPH. The car has a clean AZ title in my name with no damage history.
Suspension, Rims, Tires and Brakes -Like new Tokico Illumina struts and springs 5-way adjustable (all new under 2000 miles ago). -Akebono brake pads. Absolutely no squeaks, extremely low dust and low wear on the rotors…best brake pad for the street by far. -Rear sway bar upgrade -Dual-piston GSX front brakes -Rear brake drum-to-disc conversion. -Braided stainless steel flex lines -Genuine Powerslot zinc plated rotors all around (no rust anywhere on rotors, look like they are brand new) -16” OEM gloss silver 5-spoke rims -Highly rated Toyo Proxes tires are in excellent condition with lots of tread remaining.

It’s as care free as can be and it will outperform a stock GS-T or GSX.
Interior, Exterior and Lighting Mods -Genuine B & M brand short shifter. -Remote window roll-up and roll-down. When you arm the alarm system the windows roll up automatically. When you use the remote start feature the windows roll down about 1” to vent trapped hot air. -Driver’s side window controls have 1-touch roll-down AND 1-touch roll-up on BOTH windows. Passenger has normal roll-down and roll-up functions. -Custom delay timer added allows power window operation for a much longer period after vehicle shut-down time than the OEM setting. -Sound system turn-off delay. When you shut the car off the radio continues to play even after you remove the key and open the driver’s door. The radio will continue to operate until the driver’s door is closed. -Remote trunk pop and pneumatic lift with air pump and air pressure fill control module. -Remote Start with dual safety lock-outs to prevent remote starting the engine while accidentally in gear. (audible warning feature and light will alert you if you attempt to park the car while still in gear). You cannot force the car to start in gear. You can pre-set your A/C or heater controls so when you remote start you’ll have a comfortable car to enter. -Code brand alarm with ¼ mile range extended remote. -Full custom LED tail lights with 828 Lumiled's Superflux LEDs -Lighted center section -7-segment sequential turn signals and flashers. (owner can custom adjust speed and duration of blink rate while sitting in car) -unique LED turn signal indicator bar placed above speedometer and tach replace stock turn signal indiactors and duplicate lighting effects on the rear of the car. -900 lumen LED backup lights with stutter feature to attract further attention when backing up. -One-of-a-kind front side marker lights with amber and white LEDs. LEDs are white for normal marker function and alternately toggle from amber to white for a turn signal function. -Custom-built projector style high-powered LED front amber turn signals. -Unique DRL (Audi-style) LED strips below each headlight. These LED strips are dimmable if desired for night driving or show use. The LEDs run at full brightness during daylight hours. -DRL LEDs can be turned on manually with a hidden switch for car show use.
