Question:
I'm thinking about buying a 02 Mitsubishi Eclipse for around $8,700 Just to save gas and keep miles off my SUV The car is clean and seems to be in good shape. Its a 2.4L 5speed. Is that a good price for this car and is the car any good? Tell me your thoughts, Edmunds.com didnt really give me a good answer.

I can't afford my vhicle. Can anyone help me?
I live in S.E. Texas and have been in the car business for many years.Car values vary from region to region. That Mitsu has a "left book" value of $6275.00 and that's the trade value (with 75000 miles or less). It has a loan value of $5650.00 and a retail of $8000.00. These values are for a RS model and a GT will be slightly higher ($600.00-$800.00 more). Being in the car business I would not pay any more than $5500.00 - $5900.00 with good miles and no apparent body or paint work ever being done to it. You as a retail customer should expect to pay a little more.If I were you I would not pay any more than $7000.00...hope this helpedI would stay away from the Elipese's they tend to be really expensive when things go wrong with them. I have always been a fan of German cars like VW's for gas mileage and they are usually cheaper to fix. Stay away from the 2.0 motors in VW's try to get something with the 1.8 motor.
