hey guys, thanks for all the replies!!!
he's also looked into buying an RSX but I think he's leaning more towards the eclipse. I do not like mitsubishi cars that much... I know they're in trouble with money and because of some problems they had with other vehicles, but hey, his heart is set and I guess it doesn't matter what i say

but I just want him to get the best price he can for it so than he can spend the money he saved on me!!!!!!

lol just kidding... and the 10 year warranty on the car doesn't sound so bad either.
