About the Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX (1G)

The first-generation Eclipse GSX is the DSM that started an entire tuning subculture. Built in Illinois alongside its Plymouth Laser and Eagle Talon siblings, it combined the Mitsubishi 4G63T turbo engine with all-wheel drive at a price that undercut everything comparable, and the aftermarket has never let it go.

Investment Grade · Solid

The Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX (1G) (1990-1994) sits in a solid mid-tier position, offering bulletproof reliability (68/10) that owners routinely daily-drive paired with low running costs (58/10 maintenance). The AWD platform attracts a steady enthusiast following, and parts remain widely available (52/10). Market-wise values are up a healthy +14.0% year-on-year while a rarity score of 43/100 means you can afford to wait for the right car — accessible next to Grade A and S cars, with condition and mileage doing most of the pricing work.
