I've bought 8 different eclipses in the last 2 decades. They DON'T have bad automatic transmissions. They are such great cars. Actually, any time they need something replaced, it is always small, and the exact same part typically in each year/model after 100k miles (I'd be happy to provide the list of "what breaks on Eclipses after 100k" if anyone wants it! Lol). With that being said, the one I've kept the longest is my 2012 Spyder SE, purchased a decade ago. This video caught my attention because when I purchased it with 60K miles, in mint condition, I only paid $6000 🤣. What a steal!!!! I got it from a dealership (they got it from an auction). Now it is pushing 215k miles, and it drives like it is still brand new. Nowadays the bigger issue is finding parts for the Special Edition 2012. The other editions still have parts available but mine is so hard to find!! But gosh, it sure does have a lot of fun features!!

I have a 1G DSM, manual, AWD, turbo, drive it year round. Sure, it developed a fair amount of underbody rust but nothing too bad, got all of it off, treated and painted it, looks almost new. Replaced everything you need to replace on a car that old, belts, bushings, bearings, BJs, tie rods, struts, gaskets, seals, etc., rebuilt the trans, put in a new clutch & PP, the works. Still needs a little work but nothing serious, runs great. They really built those cars well and if you treat them well they treat you well.

If you go to the right people auctions can be great. The guy I go to is mainly a shop but he loves volvos and goes up to the better-tiered auctions with warranties to see if there are any good volvos he can get his hands on. You let him know what you have for cash what you are looking for and he will let you know if its there. Waits for really good clean vehicles, goes through them 100% to see if they need to be sent back and is honest. Owned 4 vehicles my whole life and 3 of them have been through him and all of them have had barely any issues. Latest vehicle he got me is a 2017 Fusion 2.5 63K miles and it came out to 14,500$. Far better pricing than the dealerships.

I just saw this and this was exactly my situation, except I got mine for 1500 with front end damage (hood, front bumper , radiator and fans). Lovely cars. Support sucks for aftermarket but it’s one of the best daily vehicles ever. It is also a tank, check the frame, layers and layers. It will sacrifice its life to save yours. The front seats are the best. Take them out of a non-spyder, put them in a spyder, boom. THE ONLY BAD THING ABOUT THESE CARS IS THE WEAK AUTO TRANSMISSION. :) oh and, insurance is 45 bucks. Yes $45. Even though you don’t care.

Bought a 2002 Mustang convertible 6 cylinder. Only 94.4k on it. Starts up the first turn of the key. Even the roof is in great shape, though, not perfect. Clean, no rust on the body or undercarriage. Leather interior is nearly mint. I never owned or have ever driven in a convertible before, so I grabbed the deal. Sadly, I don't have a place to store it in winter so probably won't keep it long. Wanted to enjoy the experience though. I live in NY and this car has never seen salt, would like to keep it that way.

I have driven every truck ever made. Hands down Toyota is the best,I liked them so much I bought one with 199,000 miles on it. They didn’t want to put money in truck with that high mileage. Had to spend 3,000$ to repair pollution equipment new belt and plugs. I have put another 100,00 since then. I’love that little Tacoma

My wife drives a 2016 Honda HRV with 122,000 mostly freeway miles. So on a 70 mile round trip, I would say 60 Is open freeway miles minus about 10 of that being stop and go freeway miles. I have the oil changed every 3000 miles and have followed manual recommendations on "other". I hatrrgggd the transmission fluid replaced on June 2. It's been a great car with the only annoying problem being the driver side sun visor just kinda hangs there like a spring went "BOING", and I can feel the passenger side is getting mushy as well. I'm very proud of my wife, she looked into many different dealerships, did the research and chose the Honda. She could've done a lot worse. Now it's MY job is to see to it that it lasts into retirement, she'll be 62 and I'll be 61, both in August, 2 days apart. My question: should l be considering replacing the timing belt (or chain)?

I have seen auto haulers delivery salvaged vehicles into Florida, most of those wrecks are either repaired and sold at buy here/pay dealers ripping innocent people off. or exported to countries where they become titled washed. Always do a Vin check

You could also talk about selling apps (like Letgo or Offerup) as well. I managed to sell my 2013 Buick on one of those apps for I think $700 off of my asking price which was $300 above my car note. The trade in dealer would only offer me about 70% of my car note. I was surprised but managed to sell it pretty easily.

Hey Scotty, planning on buying a 2011 Toyota Camry le v6 for 5300 dollars and had 94k km ( 58k miles). Has been in an accident with a stop sign where the only damage was the left side of the bumper was cracked. Car scanner shows no codes. Should I buy with intention of keeping for 5+ years

Love the 2001 Mitsu Eclipse Spyder I bought this March. Loaded, everything works, v6 and 5 speed. Paid too much and I'm 5g in for mechanical and underbody work. Bu to find this version cared for is not easy. Gal owned it 20 years. Had a lot done, I've done plenty, thinking a light purple or candy apple green paint job in future and new exhaust. It's amazing she didn't do timing belt but that's done. At 149,000 runs like a top. All I know is I put the top down, work the stick and I'm happy.

Once a car is wrecked , you can have lots of electrical issues with it . Even Scotty has mentioned this before . And when its time to re-sell ? You won't get much for it , if it shows up on a Carfax that it was wrecked or totaled .
