Talon Life?

Hi, i was just wondering how long do 1G, and 2G talons usually last. I see alot for sale aroung the 200,000 km, and was wondering if i should jump on those deals, Thanks.

Well 200,000 km is roughly 124,274 mi. I would say consider a few things. 1)price 2)condition 3)Was it maintained 4)Do you care if you have to drop a new engine in it.

My car is at 118k miles. I run 20+ psi daily.

i would look for lower miles and run a background check on the car.

ya i got this question 2 i might be able to get a 90 TSI (thats turbo AWD right?) for about 4.5grand... its got maby 130k miles... whatcha think?

expensive. some of the TSI's are AWD some of them are FWD.

Well how many km/miles should i be expecting to be able to run the car for before i gotta drop a new engine in there or something major. That is assuming it has been taking good care of.

I would say thats expensive i can get them for that price, Canadian

ifs it's had all the maintenance done and you continue to do the maintenance then it should go for well over 200 thousand miles.

I bought mine 4 months ago, paid 500.00 for it...92 talon ESI, non-turbo...had 229,000 Kms had to replace the crank/cam sensor (NEW 1000+, I paid 200. for used ) and just did the head gasket on it at 245,000, cost just under 800.00 (All prices in Canadian Dollars)

hmmm well i havent haggled with the dood yet... i think me and my dad are going up to look and test drive it tomorrow i will tell yall what we can do...

legionofone-i think you are getting way ripped off! unless its modded quite a bit. you can find 96-98 Tsi for that same price and with much less mileage!

im not buying it like NOW its just the price they have on it... its like KBB or something... definatly negotiable... and a 96-98 doesent have the same body... in the talons i like the 1g body for them... 2g for eclipses... o that in mind i went and drove a 1999 spyder today... wow that was a whorid car... they had a leak in the roof... all i hear when im driving it is the water sloshing in the roof storage area... and i dunno if its the engine in that car (the 2.4 L) or the extra weight of the convertable... it had crapy as hell accel and sound... my 1998 cirrus gets up a shitload faster than that thing... they wanted 8 for it... HAHA!! im realy looking at this 1998 GS spyder its red and has a little body work that needs to be fixed but thats about it... 5 gs cant remember the milage but its low... i got to sell my RS now... grrr!! glad i havent modded it to much...
