Hi, I just joined the forum. I'm in the market for a used "stock" 5-speed ECLIPSE for weekend fun. I found this on local craigslist. I'm going to look at the car tonight. Seems like a good deal to me.

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/792538031.html

I am not sure if the engine is 1.8L SOHC or 2.0L DOHC. Anything that I need to look for on a used 94's 1G? Appreciate your help in advance!

Snatch it up now before I do!!! it's very hard to tell but I think it says GSX on the back and the body trim/wheels certainly suggests it

CA emissions suck though, but if you live there, this is the car to have for that price

I do believe it say EclipseGS on back. I have the same on mine hehe.

Side note, I would snatch it up anyway even if it was a GS. More in likely it is a 4g63NA. still 165 hp and fun to drive and play with

It's a 2.0 Non Turbo in pretty good condition. This is the first time I drive an Eclipse - it sit lower that I thought. A few bad (minor) things

1.) Steering wheel shaked when braking at high speed. Rotors? - this is my biggest concern. Is this normal? Is it involved front end suspension?
2.) The lady who owns it know nothing about car - last engine oil change in back in April of 2006.
3.) Trunk can't stay up when opening.
4.) Rubber door seal (on the door) come off.
5.) Some oil sipping from the valve cover gasket (nothing leaking to the ground though).
6.) Speaker cover came out (easy fix).

One thing that I don't like is the automatic seat belts. And the trunk space is limited. I might pass this one and wait for a G2 convertible. I am doing a car fax right now.

1. yea probably rotors, normal
2. if it just sat, normal
3. normal, the struts were too weak
4. the car is old, its normal
5. normal
6. normal, the car is old

the other things are personal preference. that's your choice on those things
