Hey Guys,

for all you ex-DSM owners out there, Are there any issues I need to look out for??? Im lookin at 98-99 GS automatic (not for me). Im seeing one today and some other ones later on this week. Also If you know anyone selling a cheap used car <5000 $, let me know. thanks,

ed

All non-turbo 2g Eclipses have the Neon engine.

well its for a college student who is gonna be using it as a daily driver, so buying a gst or gsx would be overkill.

The non-turbo 2g's are overweight and under powered. Plus make sure to check insurance costs on any car for the student. If they need something cheap to own and drive I think it's hard to beat any '90's on up Honda. With gas prices going ever northward 30+ mpg looks better by the second.

I thought about getting one of those Hyundai 1g looking valve covers just to be different/weird.
