2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse Car Purchase Help

You should never buy a car without first having it looked over by a mechanic first hand, you may have to spend a few dollars but this is well worth doing, if the car has been maintained in good order and serviced regularly there should not be a problem, all cars are reliable, but if they are neglected and maintaince issuers are neglected the most expensive cars can be money pits, if the car suits you, and you like the way it drives and feels, get an inspection done to make sure there are no hidden problems.
