How many miles is a lot for an Eclipse?

It really depends on how the previous owner handled the car. One of the best things you can do for your car is change the oil every 3,000 miles.

These cars are getting old, so its getting hard to find a DSM under 100k miles. My Talon is N/T, and has 114k miles on it, shes still running strong.

They say the turbo models are unreliable, but I think it really all depends on the cars driver. If you beat on it all the time, and don't do routine maintence, your car will run like shit. Its as simple as that.

It totally depends on the model and year. One engine used in the eclipse was made by Mitsubishi and is the only motor they made that is pretty indestructible so it will last a long time. The other they used was a Chrysler built motor and will die early. 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse may run 110,000 miles without trouble.

So check its engine feature before buy. I guess 2000 Eclipse will run 1100,000 miles easily.

You have no idea what you are talking about. The 420A is a rock solid engine. I see more of those surviving than 4g63's as time goes on...
