Not really in the money.. I was gonna buy iForged Aeros for the Camaro but I found the Eclipse for $3,500 and decided it would be more fun as a dd than the Sunfire and a nice set of wheels for the Camaro.. just got it about four days ago so I'm going to sell the Sunfire.. or maybe the Eclipse.. car has more problems than I thought although a lot of people seem to want it. My sister, my friend that has a 5.0 Mustang and this guy that came over last night said he wants to buy it for $3,700 since I told him I was going to sell one of the two and wanted $3,700 for that one but who knows if this kid can really afford it.. I kinda want to keep this one over winter then sell it and get a Firebird. IDK the engine makes a sort of ticking sound when it's stopped in drive and not when it's idling in park. Also something came loose cuz it makes a frequent noise like something is hitting. Wasn't there till the guy I bought it from put the stock wheels back on and is possibly coming from near the driver's side front tire. Took it for an hour and a half test drive with the old set but it was practically all interstate and I was messing around to listen to the turbo so I didn't notice the noise stopped in drive 
It leaks and the guy I bought it from told me it had no leaks Two of the three cars sitting there have salvage titles and the Camaro isn't one of 'em.. all three together were less than 15k. Only keeping three until I decide wut to do/get an offer on the Sunfire. The Eclipse isn't insured right now so I'm not really supposed to be driving it. Thanks for the compliments!

Wonder if its the anti-lock break sensor? I'm just tossing an idea out here.
Nice little trio, what happened to the Camaro passenger fender?

The one fender happened cuz some old lady decided to change lanes while I was at about the middle of her car passing her.. she only hit the front corner cuz I slammed on the brakes or would've been much worse.. couldn't go over as there was a too tall median for my car The Camaro's getting repainted and fixed this winter 
The Eclipse it turns out is okay.. the one wheel had four of five lug nuts loose.. now that they're tight no more noise. The engine is probably normal sounding.. I guess it sounds fine. My Sunfire has a kinda ticking sound too and it's been okay the last two years.

get rid of the eclipse.... the 4G63 is a money pit of a motor... although fast, brakes alot...... unless u have a GS or RS.... then the 420A motor is accually a good daily drive motor if u take care of it
