No Reserve: One-Owner 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T Coupe 5-Speed

This 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T coupe was purchased new by the seller at Laird Noller Mitsubishi of Lawrence, Kansas, and it is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four linked with a five-speed manual transaxle. Finished in Northstar White over patterned gray cloth upholstery, it is equipped with chrome-finished 16″ five-spoke wheels, a power sunroof, a rear wing, cruise control, air conditioning, and an Infinity CD/cassette stereo. The engine was rebuilt under warranty and installed along with a replacement clutch in 2010, and work in 2023 included changing the oil and replacing the oil-pressure switch and a heater hose. This Eclipse GS-T shows 119k miles and is now offered at no reserve with service records, manufacturer’s literature, two keys, and a clean Kansas title in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in Northstar White and features a powered glass sunroof, a rear wing, and twin exhaust outlets. A July 2018 entry on the Carfax report notes minor damage to the left side, which the seller states occurred when the car was parked and scraped by another vehicle. Photos are in the gallery that reportedly show the car before and after the subsequent repairs, which are said to have included replacing the left door and repairing and repainting the remaining affected areas. There is a dent in the right-front fender, a rust spot behind the right-rear corner of the sunroof, a blemish beneath the left door handle, and chipped paint on the hood.

Chrome-finished 16″ factory five-spoke wheels are wrapped in 205/55 Firestone Firehawk AS front and Firehawk Wide Oval AS tires out back, and the fronts were mounted in June 2021. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes. The right-front wheel center cap is not currently installed, and it will accompany the car.

The front bucket seats and the split-folding two-place rear bench are upholstered in gray cloth with patterned inserts. Appointments include cruise control, air conditioning, and an Infinity AM/FM stereo with cassette and CD players along with a cargo cover, Eclipse-branded black carpeted front floor mats, and power windows, mirrors, and door locks. The seller notes that the sunroof shade sticks in its tracks.

The four-spoke steering wheel fronts a 170-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline, and gauges for boost pressure, oil pressure, fuel level, and coolant temperature. The six-digit odometer shows 119k miles, all of which were added under current ownership.

The turbocharged 4G63T 2.0-liter inline-four was factory-rated at 210 horsepower and 214 lb-ft of torque. A rebuild under warranty in 2010 included repairing the combustion chambers, resurfacing the cylinder head, machining the flywheel, and replacing the camshaft-position sensor, valve-cover gasket, valves, guides, pistons, rings, spark plugs, and wires in addition to the timing belt, tensioner, and pulley. Work in 2023 consisted of changing the oil and replacing the oil-pressure switch and a heater hose.

Power is delivered to the front wheels via a five-speed manual transaxle, and the clutch, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing were replaced in 2010. The seller notes corrosion on some underside surfaces, further depicted in the gallery.
