Thinking of buying the 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 8 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, latches/locks/linkages and child seat; have those parts checked. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
What the figures tell you
It runs 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.
Fuel use is rated 10.2 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 31 litres. Every 100 km costs about $15.81 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the Eclipse suits
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Room inside
Being a small car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. For luggage, 481 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
Rent the Eclipse for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
When you know your dates
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse from us first.
