Re: What do yall think

that mileage seems to high for that price. The mods seems nice but the price for that mileage Talon might be a little bit high...i'd buy it for 4000 cash

Re: What do yall think

Too much money for a too-modded car. Unless you are a DSM god and have all the time and money to work on it yourself, you have no business buying it IMO. For a track only car it might be a decent buy...price is still a little high though. Hell, it only has a 16g on it .

Re: What do yall think

unless you know for sure that you can handle adjusting everything on it and want a car that modded i wouldn't recommend it. especially not for 5200, maybe for 4000. i personally dont want to buy a modded car since i want to do it all myself and know exactly how it works.

Re: What do yall think

That is an awesome deal! TONS of maintenance BS that no one wants to do (or pay for) has been done. Weight reduction, light wheels, built tranny? I think thats a great price. Get a datalogger and the small turbo will be forgiving while you learn to tune and use the MAF Translator. And a FMIC and it looks good for 11s if you're a real badass. Add a larger turbo and the setup is enough for low 11s at the least. Add 1g DSMlink and more fuel, and you have a real sick car there.

I dont know about you guys, but I think thats a fair price for a ton or time and money already out of the way.

true. I personally wouldnt go for it. Plus at this mileage things usually start to go bad. Also, half the fun is building the car yourself! Let us know what you decide to do.

Good Luck!

Yea I never really wanted it because like you said, I didn't do it. I also e-mailed him asking him what town he lived in and I got a reply in a day. Then I asked why he was selling it because he spent so much time and never got a reply. I feel like im being ripped off. Im deciding to buy something I have been wanting for a year or two, an Integra GS-R or a 240sx. Thanks for the help though, not worth it anymore.
