Would a 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse be a good first car?

Question

My father has put us on a budget of 5,000 dollars or less. He was looking at a site and found an Acura that we both liked, but was already sold. I've been looking around that site as well and found a 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse for around 3,000 dollars. I've driven a Mazda before and a Scion, but I wanted one of my own cars. Would you recommend? I really like it. I will talk to my father about the car tomorrow.

Answer 1

I don't recommend it because older Mitsubishis tend to have a lot of problems. A Honda or Toyota is a better option.

Answer 2

my brother had a 1999 mitsubishi eclipse in white. and it was a great car. he only sold it because he needed a truck but he had it for about 2-3 yrs. but i would def. test drive it and make sure it runs well.

my dad put me on a 5000 budget for my first car and said it was a 2 yr car and then he would buy me a new one.

i ended up with a 2001 saturn sl2. with 104,000 miles but it runs great. it is a good little car.
