#31849, "Bought Eclipse...Need help now"


          

Ok, I got an eclipse off of ebay. I got a great deal. I got a 99 RS, with no power or nothin just plain with 38,500 miles on it, for $7800. oh and its a 5 speed. So i get the car then I find out that it was in an accident cus it had a new radiator and a 2 more things up front. Also I find that the camber kit needs to be replaced. Basically should I keep the car cus its a good deal, and get the camber replaced, and deal with knowing it was in an accident. Or should I sell it, knowing I will probaly get at least $8500 for it when I sell it, and find another eclipse? I need some suggestions! thanks guys!

doesnt sound like to big of a deal as long as the car drives strait

did you know it was in an accident? cause if you didnt and the car was, the seller can be in trouble, also, for 7800, you could have found a turbo car....

Get rid of it and get an MR-2 Turbo baby!!! It may be an older car, but it will probly be in just as good of shape, and last just as long.
