The 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse for sale by us right now. This page puts the 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 49 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, air bags and structure. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. 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.
Reading the spec sheet
It is powered by the 2.4L 4-cylinder, 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.
By the EPA's combined rating of 10.5 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 32 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $162.80. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,975 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the Eclipse
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Inside and out
As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. Its 453 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
If the Eclipse is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,975 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Ready when you are
Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.
Rent it for a week before you buy
