95 gst question

I was wondering about how long a 95 eclipse gst would last. I found a 95 gst with 127,000 miles on it for about $3500. The timing belt was replaced at 85,000 miles and it was female driven (5 speed). What kind of deal is this?

Sounds about right for that mileage.

Decent deal IMO. You could probably find a lower mileage one for a little more...like 90k or so for closer to $5k. It depends on your goals for the car; are you going to keep it close to stock or are you trying for 400whp or what? You may want a lower mileage vehicle if the latter is your goal.

I'm in my last year of high school so I was thinking of doing only little things for now. Intake, exhaust, suspension, and maybe blow-off valve. I hear that lowering springs will ruin your stock shocks sooner or later, so what would be a good deal for suspension?

You should get aftermarket shocks. I would get a bov before messing with the suspension. I would probally get that first.. and if you are on a budget get a 1g BOV

Anyone know how much a new engine would cost? I'd probably just replace it with another 95 GST engine.

You would just do a rebuild, and you can price rebuild kits from sites like www.slowboyracing.com and i bet www.roadraceengineering.com has one. A car built for power might want a 6 bolt block, found in pre 92 turbo cars, but a stock 7 bolt can handle plenty.

you will have sooo much fun with it! that is a great price for the car, IMHO. if it has been properly kept and is stock and shit than you should have a pretty capable c on your hands. go for it!

ok a couple of things. What's IMHO? and won't the turbo be going bad soon with so many miles on it?
