My girlfriend and I were searching for a specific type of car and lo and behold, we found our 2005 mitsubishi eclipse at hj Hobbs. I pride myself on my Google researching abilities, so I was hesitant to buy here since I had read all of the negative reviews. We looked anyways and decided to let the car speak for itself. It was fun to drive and shifted well. We made an offer that was below asking price since the car had obviously been sitting for awhile. The salesman, Ron accepted. Ron seemed to be a very honest guy and was excellent with communication. I told him of my concerns over the negative reviews, but his demeanor put me at ease. We purchased the car without incident. I was impressed with Ron and with Jay when I met him during the sale. The car had almost 100,000 miles on it when we purchased it, and like most used cars, it needed some work almost immediately. We were not surprised by this fact, although it seems that most of the other reviewers were expecting perfection from their used vehicle. The only unpleasant surprise was that the shop that inspected it passed it when the breaks were near metal on metal and the tires were dry rotted. I do not blame the salesman or Jay for this, but they really should get a better, more honest mechanic. That said, even after purchase, repairs, and tires, the car has still cost us well under blue book value and we are pleased with it and our overall experience with them. Best advice...any used car is a gamble and I'd you don't want to have to put money into it, have your own mechanic look it over prior to purchase...but don't blame the salesman.
