Default Re: Hey all.

I agree with Stlouistrucker and sidez on this one. You also need to consider the maintenance costs with this German-built sports car. Oil changes are very expensive for one thing. The car uses 8 quarts of synthetic oil. Dealers charge about 100 bucks for an oil changes. If you do it yourself, the quarts still cost about 6-8 dollars each. So, if this car is going to be a daily driver, expect to eventually have to fork out some serious cash for maintenance and repairs over the course of ownership. Gas milage isn't great either and it uses premium fuel only. Being upside down on a car especially in the current economy, isn't a good idea at all. You obviously liked the Eclipse when you bought it. Just enjoy it and once it is paid off or close to it, you can then look for an SRT6 if you still want one. I'm sure there will still be some out there and probably for cheaper.
