2003 Mitsubishi eclipse GT Spyder.

2003 Mitsubishi eclipse GT Spyder. The fact that you see these cars, and those alike on the road 20 YEARS, after production, is because it's reliable. Generally speaking a lot has to go wrong in these cars before they just kick the bucket. However, preventative maintenance is highly important, getting fluids changed. It's a terrific car, and is a sight for sore eyes for others

One of a kind.

Modified sports car, a lot of carbon fiber. After market tires, rims, stereo, spoiler, lambo doors and a performance exhaust system. Car has never seen rain or snow and is fast.

1884 Cutlass Supreme

My little Spyder 2.4 L has only needed maintenance. The computer brain or temp gauge is out at 122,000 I've had ot for 14yrs. Bought it used. Great car so far Hopefully it will last a long time. I hate car payments!

I would have kept it if I didn’t go home

Mitsubishi Eclipse spyder gts 2003 I’ve owned this car for three great years, I would take it back home with me if I could but I couldn’t. I moved from Seattle WA a month ago! I towed the car I didn’t drive it! The car still has WA display. It’s a really good sport baby car. I’ve installed an Exhaust, to give it a nice noise, still have the original one!

You pay for what you get

Well, I bought a 2003 Mitsubishi eclipse gs about a month ago, it has been rebuilt, and.. it's been good to me so far, I've had to replace a few things and address a few problems, but only because of the vehicle sitting for a period of time, and being rebuilt and stuff. The car is great, its quick, it takes turns with ease, and it feels like you're driving on velvet I should say. Although with age, the dashboard seems to be brittle and to crack easily, the metal interior under the dash can rust easily, the struts on the trunk are not reliable, they will go out eventually, but can be replaced. The car is highly modifiable, and can be rebuilt with time and money. The car overall can be reliable for as long as you want it, for as long as you take care of it. This car is a true jdm enthusiast's dream. The slick exterior is very.. unique in it's own way, and it pops out like a sore thumb, and is not widely seen on the roads. It grabs attention anywhere it goes, along with respect I believe. I dont think the car is worth more than a grand, depending on the shape it's in, but it's worth as much as you want it, and I will always recommend it.

Good commuter car.

I got this car as a quick buy cause I needed a car. It was on its last leg, but through proper maintenance I managed to get almost another four years out of the car. I did modify the car and if someone was looking for and easy car to modify I would recommend this one as a beginner and learner car.

Quick, sexy car.

I love the car. Fun to drive short distances. Seats are to uncomfortable for long distance. Lots of power, handles like a dream. One of my top 5 cars i owned.

handles like a dream

this car is the first used sports car I've owned and when I say it's fast it's like lightning fast and handles like a dream. I'm already looking to get another model to have another. That's how much I like this car.🚗
