[my97blackgst]

I would go with the 98, Because it's newer, Newer exterior, What's the miles? Has the maintenice been done properly at the recomened intervals? But what model are you looking at? RS, GS, GS-T, GSX? and if you don't me asking how much are they wanting?

The mods are really going to get up in your ass if you keep askign questions like these. I dont know witch one is "better" but I belive the eclipse '95 was the only one to have a EPROM in their ECUs, but in the other hand..IMO the '98 eclipse looks alot better.

try those

[my97blackgst]

Looking at those here is what I would suggest. First off the 95 is not an eclipse but and eagle talon tsi (same car different names) the 95 will have 210hp turbocharged vs 140hp n/a, GET THE 95 you will not regret it. Things to look out for, Timing Belt should be changed at 60k intervals if I am not mistaken. Be sure all the fluids have been changed when supposed to. Make sure your clutch has a nice smooth take up and no jerking. Without being there I am going to have to say the 95, more power blah blah..but insurance will be higher as well then the 98. It will require nothing less than 91 octane where as the 98 will run on 87 due to the fact that it is n/a. My two cents anyway...good luck.
