Find a Eclipse Enthusiast Forum and offer it up as a parts car locally, or sell off parts from the car. Parting it out will rake you in more money if you do it right.

Yup, find a DSM forum and part out what's useable first. Especially if its a GSX or GS-T car.

And this goes for alot of car models that people once thought of as scrap but now either "tune them up" a/or restore them. Take a few minutes searching online to see if the model your about to scrap is worth more whole or parted out than in a cubed bale.

I still have this stupid car, its on CL for $450. people look, then leave. its getting on my nerves.
its an RS with the 420a motor, automatic.

Where is all the copper on these things? maybe i can grab the copper and a few parts that sell on ebay off of it, then scrap the rest for the $250 its worth...

Your joking. Nobody wants it?

Wait, whats the status of the car? Non-runner?

Title; Free and clear, or Salvage? Any know Liens on the car?

You did try a DSM/Eclipse forum, right?

That looks to good to scrap. I assume the engine is dead. if the title is clear it will sell just have to wait for the right person.

The body appears to be in good shape. Even if it doesn't run, you should be able to part it out for more than $450. Good luck.
