The 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Buying the 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
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. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Under the hood
The engine is the 2.4L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The EPA rates it at 10.2 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 31 litres. That works out to about $15.81 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Its 481 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who it is for
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Try before you buy
Rent the Eclipse for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week with the Eclipse answers more than any brochure. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. 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.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
