I also don't want to wait until my other car is sold because that could be a while. The only thing available in my area are the 3G's and not many of them. So I'll wait and get a gsx when I can. _____________________________ 1995 Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR-4 (project car finally "semi" running) 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT (daily driver) some mods only AEM V2 , headers, and evo II catback, not much plans because of the EXTREME cost to make the 3g fast.

My mom is the owner of a 2003 Eclipse and has had no problems whatsoever. They are great cars and I would highly recommend one especially the V6. Good choice IMO. Also I think its better than buying a used 2G because you will most likely get one with the electrical problems or it will be beat to hell. (in reply to slow420a) Post #: 7

P.S. do not get an RS model. < Message edited by slwdwn3g -- 8/1/2006 9:25:30 AM > (in reply to davidmitsusrock) Post #: 9
