havent found any m3's worthwhile in my pricerange, and absolute NO IS's below 17K. the eclipse im looking at is a white GT 5spd for 7K, it seems iight for my tastes. def needs drop/i/h/e though. would it be quicker than my 2.3 stock for stock?

i saw it with my own eyes.

Insert Sarcasm Here
just a heads up.....
make sure you check insurance rates. I was in the same boat as you a year ago and almost traded in the CL for an IS300, but then I learned that is the single most expensive car to insure.

im gonna go check the eclipse out n see for myself if i like it. as for the audi, ive decided not to go over 10K and save the rest of the money for college/mods, not to to mention audis are costly to maintain

seriously, stay away from the eclipse, my cousin got one for his first car, the first 10 months they had it (bought at 40K miles) it spent over a month being repaired about 4 times, radiator failed, engine overheated, they replaced the engine, needed an ECU and a lot of other shit, on top of 3 random electrical problems before all that... plus its slow, it was an '01 auto GS and 0-60 was like 11 sec.

Come down to OK, We seem to get all the hopped up Texas CLs. They do weird shit to their cars down there. Good luck, how about a legend or I know.... Have you ever heard of a Sterling? I would love to find one. A Lotus / Honda compilation... All though, finding parts for it would be a real bitch... I can't beleive how long this thread is... wow.
