i found a 2003 eclipse with 41k on it for $9,995.. decent deal right?
only problem.. its auto.
would a 5spd conversion be worth it or would i just run into more problems down the line?

I would have to say no, It would cost a good bit unless you can find the parts cheap and do the labor yourself.

Conversions are never more cost effective.

Nah man! You should shop around a little bit more. I found a 2004 GTS with 54k miles for $7,400 on cars.com.

why do you say that sebba. Getting 3g's for around 8k has become the norm. BTW you never told us what model the 3g your looking at was

Thats not true john. a 04 GTS will still sell for over $10k in most cases. it was prob a scam or a salvage. Im with Seb on that one
