The 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse for sale by us right now. Here is the 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Recalls and complaints
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 46 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, engine and engine cooling and seat belts; have those parts checked.
Reading the spec sheet
The 1.8L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The EPA rates it at 9.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 29 litres. Driving 300 km costs roughly $45.57 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What to expect from the Eclipse
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA measures its luggage space at 538 litres, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A good match for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Try before you buy
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Eclipse answers the big questions. A week with the Eclipse answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
