it will easily last you till 150k as long as you do simple maintenace. But my question is, is it a turbo model because i know that in the 1g eclipse's sometimes the GS was a turbo model. In which case the car is gonna be faster than woody spec'd

First off you can't go by the 1/4 times listed in mags or even on dealer charts and whatnot. Times are almost as reliant on you as a driver as they are the specs of the car itself. Also your times will be affected by what's been done to the car previously. Was it beat to piss or babbied?

As for lasting... You're at 90K miles right now correct? CHANGE YOR TIMING BELT NOW!!! Timing belt's are supposed to be changed around 80-90K miles. I've seen them run till 110 and whatnot but don't risk it in this car. Also you paid $600 for it and JUST got the car. Change the air filter, fuel filter, and get the oil changed. Maybe even an oil system cleaner would be a good idea. With proper care and maintenance ANY car will last WELL into the 100 of thousands of miles. I worked for a shop where a '99 Neon was a regular customer and it had over 300K miles on the car. Ran like a top (Except for the problems caused by accidents it was a driving school's student vehicle). So that should say SOMETHING for regular maintenance.

Could be but either way 80 is a good time to replace it if it can't be proven that it was done already. If she runs still then let's keep her there.
