Thinking of buying the 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Thinking about the 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Before you sign for the Eclipse
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 99 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, air bags and power train; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Engine and fuel
Its 2.4L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 10.2 L/100 km, means roughly 31 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $15.81, and a 300 km weekend about $47.43. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space, size and seats
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. At 453 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
Good uses for the Eclipse
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Eclipse answers the big questions. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.81 in fuel.
Year and trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
