I agree I like my teg but 210 hp is better than 140 anyday. Plus for 2500 its a steal even w/ 124xxx. But if nothing else I'll fix it up, sell it, andd turbo my teg w/ the money I get.

You'd better have additional funds set aside for maintenance.

A 98 GST selling for that little has either been beat to hell and back, or is a salvage title vehicle. In either case, I'd be wary.

No If the eclipse isn't what I want I'll fix it up and sell it but if I like it I'll sell the teg and get some parts for it and save for college.

He said the car needed work, but when I asked him what was wrong w/ the car he told me, the valves were tapping and he said they needed adjusted or replaced, he obviously had no clue about what he was talking about, he wasn't a gearhead at all. So a 99 buck valve adjustment and a look at the other stuff and I'm good 2 go.

My friend just got one and it's nothing special. :dunno: Turbo the teg.

2500 is a steal though.
