This past month has been a good one for me :biggrin: . All my parts for my GS came in and are being installed. On top of that i was lookin in the papers a few weeks ago and found a gs-t for sale. Me and my bro went and test drove it and decided to buy it. We went and picked it up yesterday.
Anyways, Its a 96 GS-T (manual) with 90,XXX miles. Everything is stock (which is pretty hard to believe) and is in excellent condition. Its darkish green, and it has a stock spoiler on it. It has minor prob, power locks, power doors not working. It also has a small oil leak, but i had a mechanic take a look at it, and he said its fixable. The car has never been raced nor been in an accident.
The owner was originally asking for 4500, but me and my bro got it down to 3,500. Can you believe that, 3,500 for a turbo eclipse :thumbsup: . Tell me what you think and what first steps should i take with the car.
Ill try to get some pics up asap, but i need to get a digital camera first (shit those things are expensive).

Good price! I just wish the AWD ones were that cheap... seem to be harder to get them at a good price
