The 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is what to know about the 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse before buying one.
What to check on the Eclipse
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the specs mean
The engine is the 1.8L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and 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.
Its combined rating is 9.8 L/100 km, which means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $15.19. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
How big it is
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Luggage space is rated at 538 litres: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Best uses
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
What it costs to run
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. 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.
