They're actually nice cars, since they're essentially a stretched '00-05 Mitubishi Eclipse through and through. And really old leftovers aren't that unordinary, since the coupes never seemed to catch on when new.

Sitting so long, fluids and such should be changed, but otherwise, I'd say it's a good buy considering it's technically still new and less than half the new cost. Used ones, of that vintage, with miles and abuse go for around that much.

that style looks so much better than the new ones. a coworker has an off white coupe. good looking car.

[Guest YellowJacket894]

I'd say go for it.

Sound good! Double check for any possibility it has an adverse history (IE water damage to Katrina) that would explain it's low price...

I always liked those coupes... although the original Stratus design appeals most to me.

do you live in a front plate state?

[Ravenfreak13]

yes unfortunatelly.

I'm sure if it hasn't been sold in 2 years, that it will be there when i save up more.

True, and you know, that actually isn't that unordinary. Of many different cars that don't sell...I remember last year being on Ebay and seeing 2+ year old BRAND NEW Sebring coupes on Ebay, being sold as really old new leftovers. Really just a car that happened to sit...and really sit...

It nice looking..go for it.

I agree too with the fluid changes....
