2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse Gs Coupe 2-door 2.4l on 2040-cars

For sale – 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS with less than 82,500 miles! This car is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, 4 cylinder engine, motorized glass retractable sunroof, and Infinity sound system. I am the second owner, and have all major maintenance records on the car since it was new. It has always been very well maintained. I am asking $4,300 OBO. The tires have about 2,000-3,000 miles or so until they will need replacement, but if you make a full-price offer I will include new tires and even cover the cost of their installation – all you will have to do is schedule an appointment with the shop to have them installed at your convenience. I have included just about everything I can think of relating to this car below. If you are interested, don't hesitate to get in touch.

MECHANICAL This car has been impeccably maintained its entire life. It runs great, starts every time, and leaks absolutely no fluids. It does not burn oil. The clutch engages and disengages properly. The transmission shifts smoothly without grinding between gears. In short, this car should not require anything aside from tires for quite a while. The car has never left me stranded in the 20,000 miles I have driven it, and is about as reliable as you can get. That kind of peace of mind can be hard to find in this price range. All available maintenance records will be provided to the new owner, but here are some of the highlights:
--I just installed new front brake pads and rotors within the last 100 miles.
--Oil was changed about 2,400 miles ago. The car will be due for its next oil change in 2,600 miles. To my knowledge, oil has always been changed at least every 5,000 miles, often more frequently than that.
--Manual transmission fluid was replaced about 12,000 miles ago.
--Spark plugs, plug-on-coils, and wires were replaced about 12,000 miles ago with long-life spark plugs.
--Battery was replaced about 12,000 miles ago in summer 2013.
--O2 sensor was replaced about 12,000 miles ago.
--Timing belt was replaced about 26,000 miles ago and therefore should not require servicing again for at least 34,000+ miles.
--AC blows cold.
--As mentioned above, the tires will need replacement within the next couple thousand miles and I will cover this cost with a full-price offer.

COSMETIC AND INTERIOR The car is 11 years old, so naturally it has acquired some “character.” The car has never been in a major accident or sustained unibody/frame damage to my knowledge. The worst that has occurred is that sadly I hit a dog going about 25mph last summer and that caused some subtle dimpling and deformity of the bumper on the left-front side. The car also has a dent about 1.5” x 3” on the left-front quarter panel that had magically appeared when I returned to the car in a parking lot. The radio loads and plays CDs but sometimes has difficulty ejecting CDs all the way. The driver’s side has what appears to be a small cigarette burn in the seat. By the way, the car in no way smells like it had been a smoker’s car, which is why I always wondered about that mark on the seat (it was there when I bought it). The dash plastic is cracked in a couple of places. Other than that there are just a few minor run-of-the-mill door ding type things here and there; nothing obvious or out of the ordinary. The paint is in pretty good shape, with the exception of the front bumper which is not too bad but on close inspection the clear coat seems to be flaking a bit. There are no cracks or chips in the glass. The interior is clean and free of foul odors.

I think that about covers everything. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or want to come take a look at the car.
