Coming from an owner of the EU version of the 2nd gen Mitsubishi eclipse I can say you have a very good piece of DSM there... the 4G63T from the 1st gen Lancer Evo with a similar AWD...
It's all down on how it was maintained, it's not a car that needs a lot of maintenance it's fun to drive and very reliable. At least that is my impression after 5 years of owning one :)
Thanks for the input man, unfortunately I set my mind onto not buying it or any other car until I have enough cash set aside to pickup a Honda NSX :) Appreciate the info though glad you are still enjoying yours
