Okay I love Eclipses but havent gotten the pleasure of owning a turbo model yet. I know a guy selling a 97 Talon tsi awd, Hes asking $5500 I know thats too much soo what do you guys think is a good price? Cars got perfect paint and body, automatic , 140k miles (I think), engine is very clean looks like they just replaced a few hoses when they were reconditioning it to sell, and interior is fine as well, overall it seems to have been kept stock. Thanks rep given for logical responses.

ps. There are no ways of checking for crankwalk are there?

 

being its a talon and 140k miles to be real you could pick something like that for like $3000_$3500.. If it was a eclipse then the price automatically would go up like $1500 or so if not a little more. Talons are dirt cheap. AND i forgot you mentioned a automatic.. Def 3gs. As far as crankwalk I think you can tell sometimes when making a hard left turn or something the clutch looses pressure.

 

id say start at 3gs. i bought my talon stock which is a 98 and rare for it being that last year made. i got mine for 3500 2yrs ago. at that time it was trade in price. even if its auto its still a 97 which has the better shape.I would prefer buying a stock car any day over modified.

 

Hard to put a price on a bone stock DSM. Auto is a good start as those are known to be less prone to CW

 

I have to say 3k is alot less then I expected. I dont care talon/eclipse either way but I really cant see myself driving an automatic.

 

why. i would just throw an ipt shift kit on it. no clutch problems. autos also can build boost of the line. id get an auto.

 

this will make you want an automatic dsm....period. AMS's 760 AWHP Automatic 2G Talon, AMS 2.3 w/ GT42 - Video

 

Auto's are NOT efficient at putting power to the wheels

 

^ completly un-true.... unless your refering to DSM's soley that statement is retarded...

 

it is a fact that more hp makes it to the wheels with a manual.
