97' Mitsubishi Eclipse or Acura RSX?

Question

I'm going to be shopping for my first car and I'm on a $2000 to $2500 budget, which car is better and price is good for my budget.(if price is good list the price please.)

Answer 1

Well, consider the Acura RSX just came out in 2002 you cannot find it anywhere for lower than ten grand so you definitely cannot afford that car.

A '97 eclipse is also a more expensive than $2500, but if you're lucky you might find one that has high miles on it for that cheap.

If i would pick one of the two, i'd say the RSX just because they're newer, and will generally have less miles on them, and because its your first car, you'd want to drive it, not have it in the shop being fixed all the time. So if money wasn't an issue RSX is the way to go... I am unsure if you can afford either...

Answer 2

Well you probably can't afford any Acura RSX since they haven't been out that long and a 97 eclipse is a 2G which includes eclipses from years 1995 and 1999. You might be able to find a 1995 or 96 eclipse with a lot of miles (and probably lots of problems) for less than $2500.

Answer 3

well you can find Mitsubishi eclipse every were i own 2 of them a 1990 and a 1993 gs i love them both and never had a problem with them(and i do race them both) ... rsx on another note is having electrical problems and the stock engine is weak compared to the eclipse motor!and eclipse better gas mileage

Answer 4

it really is more advantageous about horses for courses than it extremely is magnificent. each of the autos in this classification are cramped and uncomfortable, yet frequently the low spec small engine variations are more advantageous gentle because they have gentle springs and dont have low profile tyres. enormous question is provider historic past, with a Cambelt change being £ four hundred at some garages that ought to blow a huge hollow on your funds and if it breaks, nicely it aint going to be fairly worth repairing. so that you want 50 000 miles with the belt replaced ideally, shop in ideas its frequently 5 or 6 years a nicely as mileage, so a 6 3 hundred and sixty 5 days old 10 000 miler likely needs a belt, sensible bargaining device. The Ford has the tremendous benefit that maximum mechanics locate out about them and some older ones dont actually have a cambelt, utilizing a rattly old pushrod engine yet those are likely too old for you to evaluate. The classic pre BMW Mini replaced into the most suitable of the low-cost to maintain small autos with out cambelt and so on yet those are virtually creditors products now pretty the most suitable ones. Diesels on your funds will be fairly nasty, narrow ability band, detrimental starters and so on yet a lot less extreme priced, so in case you "favor" this length of vehicle it really is a case of evaluating individual autos somewhat than generalising, do you've a buddy what's regularly occurring with of about autos? The bloke in the pub with airborne dirt and dirt below his fingernails and grubby wrists the position his goves dont attain ,what whiffs of oil is perchance the great bloke to have as a buddy today. in case you dont nescessarily could purchase this length of vehicle seem at a Rover 40 5 Diesel, low-cost today. Dont get a (ok sequence) petrol even if.
