Hi, all , im new to this site but not new to the eclipse world, i had a 2G GSX a few years ago that was modded pretty good, i want to get back in the scene now. But i want to go newer now.

Not sure if i will be able to find anything in my current budget i have. I been looking all over and have found a few good deals but they are selling pretty fast.

I am looking for a GT 6 speed manual, (NO AUTOMATICS!) miles not really a concern as long as there is not a crap ton. Color is to be determined lol

I do not want a convertible.

I only have $6,500 to play with right now

I live in Plattsburgh New York and would travel up to 400 miles to get one.

Thank you for the warm welcome! If i can find some pics on one of my other hard drives i will post a few, was nothing special to look at, looked all stock from the outside besides the FMIC and the exhaust. I went for all go no show lol I do have a few vids on another site but of course i cannot post that here lol.

i am really hoping i like this 4g eclipse once i find one. I am a patient person, so if it takes me 3 months to find one so be it. I just do not jump into the first thing i find.

Pretty sure if you find one for that price it will have high mileage and need updated maintenance such as belt, water pump, fluids, etc. I'd spend a little more (if you can) on a low mileage one.. around 50,000 miles or so if you can find one. Either way, still a great car!! Good luck and let us know what you find!! :):ndance:

yeah i have found a few right around 100,000 for the price range i have. a few of them are going for around $5,500 to 6k, I keep holding off hoping in finding one with a bit lower mileage. Not sure how much more money i can pull together, by next week i will be sitting on $7,000 cash for a car

Just have to be patient i guess like i have been

Well i found me a car!! I purchased a 2006 Eclipse GT with 77,000 miles on it , 6 speed manual, Car is Black, moon roof, leather seats, heated seats, rockford upgraded stereo system (fully loaded with every option from the factory). Also has a Greddy Exhaust and after market rims (18's) and tires that were literally just installed.

I paid $4,600 for the car

it has red plasti dipped stripes going down the sides that need to come off.

A quick little history of the car, original owner decided he did not want it anymore, traded it in at a dealer, the 28 year old dealer son says im taking that car home. He took it home and was gonna make it his project car to upgrade. After putting the greddy exhaust on it, aftermarket rims and tires, and only putting 800 miles on the car he decided not to keep it, due to him ending up getting a 2002 or so Porsche.

I will post a few pics of it shortly

Thank you, sorry about the late post with the pics i am really happy with it, to bad i have only drove it once so far, due to the roads not being clean lol, and brought it right to the car wash before i parked it in the driveway lol, been snowing like crazy here the last few days. sorry about not adding pics sooner, i forgot lol, but here is my new ride , oh i took these pics in Virginia not here in Plattsburgh NY lol

I had it shipped by a shipping company, Cost $400 to have it shipped from Virgina to Plattsburgh, NY. I drove down and test drove it, bought it, had no way of getting it home that day, so i took the title, bill of sales and the guy let me keep it in his garage until the shipping company showed up, they picked it up Wednesday morning and delivered it that evening.
