Unsolicited, the almost-17 year old wants a '2000 Eclipse with manual transmission and the real tall spoiler in that purple-ish color'.

So, you can see, this one HAS fallen far from the tree.

I know for a FACT he doesn't want the 2000 bodystyle, but the 99 or prior. I don't know about the spoiler, though. I know there was one that was tall, sure, but I don't know which DSM or model(s) it appared on.

Anyway, if you can help me figure out which model(s) had that spoiler, I'd appreciate it. His budget's gonna be around $1000 or just over, I think. He's actually doing pretty well saving. But he's not turned a wrench or really gotten his hands dirty before. So a good running one would be the right ticket - if it can be found in that price range.

For that matter, I'm sure his choice could be swayed for the right car at the right price, too. *Laugh* But if you can help me id the right models I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!
