hey guys-

I am planning on going to test drive a 1993 mitsubishi eclipse this weekend, and i wanted to know what to look for. Its all stock, driven by a female(if that makes any difference). only problem is the AC needs to be recharged...i know to look under the hood, how the clutch feels(its a 5 speed manual), transmission, tires, any leaks(inside and out), lights, dents and dings....anything in particular i should be looking for??? this is my first car that i would be buying possibly, so i dont know all the stuff i need to look for. btw- they are asking $1900, its got 113,500 miles on it....what would you guys consider a fair price - or is that pretty fair?

make sure to ask if and when the timing belt was replaced? if it has not been thats the first the i would do or you may have porblems. other than that take your time and look her over good!
