if your doing an even trade in on your car for the eclipse, id keep your car and look else where. these cars arent worth very much, im sure you would be able to sell your car somewhere and buy two n/a eclipse. even with your high mileage, you should still be able to get far more for that then the eclipse. how much are they asking for it if you dont mind telling?

 

Very good purchase seriously for the condition but it boils down to the price. I had a 92 Eclipse GS 2.0 dohc and engine lasted 230k miles. No real major problems, just the usual maintenance meaning I replaced the pcv valve, battery, alternator, starter and just the other general maintenance such as oil change, tune-up, coolant flush, etc. But the car would've lasted longer, what happened was timing belt jumped a few teeth and that was poorly upon the mechanic I had do the job. Since its a non-turbo then there's a lot less problems and you can drive it anywhere. When I had the 92 GS it went from Florida to New York and back no problem and no worries.

That one you have pictured looks amazing, you usually don't find them in that good of a condition and with very low mileage. Looks like it was well taken care of.

 

It says 2712 on the vfaq, but I've been under the impression that it weighs ~3200 lbs for years. I don't recall where this number came from (it may have been in the owner's manual, or it may have been from the salvage yard). So, I'll assume autotrader is correct.

In any event, your Volvo still has a better power to weight ratio.

 

I, too, would sell the Volvo and use the money to purchase the Eclipse.

 

My first car was a 1990 Eclipse GS. I loved the car. All I did was replace the timing belts and rebuilt the head (it had 150k on the motor) and the car ran beautiful. I was fairly quick. Yes, the car does weigh 2700 lbs. All owners manuals show the weight of the car, plus the average male (which is about 200lbs). They have a 4g63 engine in them, so even if you wanna do some mods to it, they are easy to do. The only complaint I had about the car was that it felt a little light in the rear end when coming around a corner at a faster rate of speed, but I didnt have any suspension upgrades. I have to say that I loved the car. I think its a good buy.

 

I think that car is missing the turbo

It's a very clean and nice looking car, would make a great daily driver.
