good for a new project?

hey guys i saw this add on cl and i would like your opinion on it. The only thing that catches my eye is how he uses the word major engine tune up... but either than that it sounds good to me

That is a pretty high mileage eclipse. It is prob. getting close to it's last leg on the motor. You could do a compression check to see how it is doing. It sounds like an ok deal. If you have to time to do the work your self you could have a pretty nice can in the end!

i'm not a fan of the miles or the automatic

ya auto isnt my style cheap tho would be a good project car.

sounds like a good solid platform to start on...you can always build one hell of a motor. miles are kind of high. but i dont like autos....but the choice is yours man. i think if you like it, go for it.
