A friend just bought this car...

[93PGT]

1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse
Paid $24,900

Looks pretty nice...I'm pretty sure its the non-turbo model though. :zzz: I still haven't seen the engine yet, hopefully will soon. I'll take a couple pics when I go to check it out.

is that an intercooler?

I hope your buddy has a winter car, and a good alarm! nice ride!

[DeathBy240]

Is he gonna de-rice it? Is it really " one of the craziest in North America!!!" :bullshit:

[dkny_stylez]

shiet pretty expensive

[blinkme_210]

If it is boosted, when the turbo kicks in, does it go zap zap like lightning?

Does look quite nice, I hate the lighting though.

Just like the 97 accord 4 door exr v6 5 speed with leather, in excellent shape. The car had more rust than any 5gen accord I have ever seen, it was a f22, not a v6(v6 were all auto's that gen) and he was asking 2000 more than any other car in the trader. Sure hope no one on here bought that car, seeing as it was rusting from the inside out.

[Def_3]

I SAW THAT CAR GET DROPPED OFF OF A TRAILER IN FRONT OF THE COLESIUM 2 NIGHTS AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIGHT ON ITS NOSE, THE POOR GUY WAS SCREAMING HIS HEAD OFF AT THE DRIVER

it was sad yet funny at the same time

[turbo_equiped]

^^o what are you serious????
was it wrecked and all or what??

[Def_3]

not wrecked (kinda smashed up) just sitting on its nose while the rear was still up on the trailer, right in front of eastside marios!!!!!bad enough, I wonder why he was getting it towed already in the first place?

[Def_3]

You are correct. The car is at speedville. After seeing the car in person, it is worth no more than 10K and I'm not being an ass or anything, it's the truth. It has the old sohc mitsu 92 hp engine that wasn't even available on the 2G dsms?:werd: The front end is all cracked. I feel pretty bad for the guy that bought it but I have a hard time believing he paid 25K for it.

from far away it looked like a show car, but from closer inspection not so much, it looked like it had a nice rad, i cant believe it has that little engine! I wonder if the poor guy actually paid 25 gs for it, if so that is one HARSH lesson to learn, but hey at least he got a story to tell. I don't know anyone whos car was dropped off of a tow truck before!!!!

do you know why he was getting it towed anyways? was the engine traumed as it is?

[illeagle]

at first i thought, it's a flashy head turner that he can just slowly cruise in, and it beats taking the bus, but now, i'm thinking buddy jumped the gun... The sad part is he prolly won't be able to sell it for nearly the price he paid, i bet the dealership will give him $8,000 for it...

[heavyD]

I don't know what is wrong with it but it sounds like it has some problems. The engine mounts are broken, that's all I know. The wheels look good though as does the aftermarket seats.

[Vtecpower]

like i said before, that guy at hotwheels will present him self as a nice guy and like he knows evreything, but he just fuckin bullshits and lies i feel sorry for the guy that bought that car, the owner of hotwheels auto is some little rich boy that wants to be a wannabe import no it all but dosent no shit of what he is selling.

[pr0]

wow, that engine is worse than the 420a. :thumbsdow

[menace3]

he should have bought the WRX STI.... feel sorry for him too.

[Def_3]

so I hear all this negative feedback about the "hotwheels" guy, why has no one ever done anything about it? Has there ever been official complaints put in? Im just wondering cuz I have heard allot of BAD things about this guy

[93PGT]

It got towed because it died on him...I know he replaced the alternator, not sure what else. He knew before he bought it that the car probably wouldn't make it home, but he still got it.

It's working all good now...I always see him ripping around town in it. Funny thing is, I could probably come pretty close if not beating him in my '93 PGT ZE. :tongue:

[sxtasy]

Is it convertible?

[Def_3]

yeah its a spyder i think

[93PGT]

Yeah, Spyder convertible.

well if he has a 98 horsepower engine, you damn well better beat him, the klze is around 200 isnt it?

A bit redundant, no?

what really is there to do send in a complaint to him or something :dunno:

[turbo_equiped]

Damn man thats sucks for the guy. But i guess he had money to waste, so even knowing about the car he got it. But 92HP engine??:thumbsdow :thumbsdow. I just liked the doors man, but still would have never taken it for that much.

i know the better business bureu has complaint lines and what not where they look into things, but I guess he would have to have effected you personally to complain, I dunno just wondering I guess. I hear all these complaints yet he is constantly still ripping people off? Dont get how he stays in business

[93PGT]

He sold his '98 Prelude to get this car too...it was pimped out as well. He's had a lot of cars that are shitty models and made like show cars...'96 Talon ESI, '90 300ZX N/A, '98 Prelude, now this...

How many HP does this car really have?? Is it really that slow?

Your probe would slaughter that thing

[Skylinelover]

I now see the car in Okotoks parked at one of the apartment buildings. Does he live here now?

[GQBalla]
