Poll:

Hello, I'm looking at being a 93 Talon Turbo AWD, it has 148,xxx, km's on it.... Is that too much km's on it or what. Would you buy your DSM again if you could go back in time and make that desicion again?


Thanks in advance

If I could do it again, I woulda bought my Talon a loooong time ago. I love it! You will not be disappointed by getting a DSM... As for the mileage, it all depends on how it was taken care of. My one friend has almost 200,000 miles on his Eclipse and its still going strong with no problems at all. (except for normal maintenance)

Re: Poll:

I was trying to be funny but i guess you didnt find it funny. My Talon has 268 xxxkm's and runs like a clock, doesn't leak or burn oil either. But i take real good care of my baby. I did do a full engine rebuild @ 210 xxxkm after my oil pump sproket decided to shave it's way throught the timing cover. Lost all oil while doing 190km/h and siezed the block.
