What to watch out for when buying an Auto turbo dsm

[Perkul8r]

So i sold my laser this weekend in hopes of being able to have a down payment on a Galant VR4. But after an hour at my insurance company, i doubt i can. For some reason my insurance will go up by about $170 per 6 month policy if i switch to a VR4. Kinda stupid. So i need to pick up a beater for the time being. I have found a 92/93-cant remember exact year- Eclipse GSX Auto. Now, i have never owned an Auto turbo car, and was just curious if there is anything i really need to look out for on these cars. Like as in transmission problems. If I get it for the right price and it lasts me the winter i will more than likely swap the auto for a five speed next year, but i need it to last till than.

So if you have any for sure things to watch out for i would love to know.
Thanks.

You said you were selling your last DSM because you were having a second kid, so either you were lying or something was wrong with that car.

Also I recommend not getting a DSM or anything kind of older "fun/project" car if it will be your only car and have kids, be smart get something reliable, safe, cheap to run/maintain.

OT, nothing really auto specific make sure the trans doesn't slip or shift too hard?

There was nothing wrong with the car. I sold to get a down payment for a galant VR4, or a subaru legacy. Something awd and four door. My only problem is that when i checked insurance, my rates on those 2 cars are just stupid spendy. My insurance would go up $170 for the galant, and $148 for the Subaru. Which puts me at around $600 for every 6 months for liability. And as for this being a project car, it would be a dd till next spring. Not a project car. BUt after next spring it would become a project car.
