It's a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse with 88,000 miles, and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Now, you're probably think that's way too much for a car with a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . But KBB doesn't know about the totally boss stereo system . Sure, that subwoofer means you lose every bit of storage space, but... bass ! Plus, it's an Eclipse. As as the dealer explains, that means pure driving goodness.

Drivers only for this dominant and agile 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS. Enjoy buttery smooth shifting from the Automatic transmission paired with this precision tuned Gas I4 2.4L/145 engine. Delivering an amazing amount of torque, this vehicle is waiting for a commanding driver!

Few drivers are ready for a car that hits 60 MPH from a standing start in just 8.2 seconds and passes the quarter-mile marker in 16.2 seconds. Indeed, to squeeze out comparable performance in a new car, you'd have to spend at least $14,000 on a Chevy Sonic, or Ford Focus SE. Only the most commanding drivers can handle this sort of performance.

Clearly, this car dealer knows their cars...and their audience.

That's... Wait, even my 18 yo rust bucket is faster than an Eclipse. What the hell.

Agile! Like my dear deceased osteoporosis-ridden grandma was agile.

It's the 4-cylinder GS-spec model. But, even the 6-cylinder GT only had 200 HP. And it's a heavy car for its size.

How heavy, approximately? My Sedicivalvole came stock with 149 hp to a weight of 1092 kg, but the last time I checked, about 6 years ago, it was putting out 185 hp to the same weight.

Ok... :p

I'm lazy as fuck sometimes...

EDIT: Damn, almost 1600 kg. That's surprisingly heavy for a car that I always thought wanted to pass for a lean, small coupe

Probably one of those dealers with a guaranteed trade value of $3k. They mark everything up by three grand and then basically steal your trade by offering you $3k for it.

It's a car whose body styling writes checks the engine can't cash.
