Bought Two Talons on Sunday
Hey Guys,
Well I thought I would welcome myself to the DSM community. Well last weekend was the annual Automotive Flea Market near Toronto and I went down looking to buy a decent Talon. Well the car auction rolled around and I was there with a few buddies and a 91 Talon rolled up to the main stage, so I felt my self pretty interested. Well the auctioneer guy yelled out "Do I hear 1500?" No body said a word then, "Do I hear 500?" So a guy in the crowd through his hand up, so 600 rolled around and thats when my hand went up, and sure enough im the proud owner of a 91 Talon. It turns out the guy was over 70 years old selling the car and it had been stored for the last few years, its got the original paint and all it needs for certification is a break job and the gas lines leaking so thats being fixed as well. Later on in the day we stumble upon a 95 Talon for sale the guy was asking $9800, so we go see him a few times show some interest, feel him out and come back at the end of the day and offer him $7000 cash, and sure enough he took it and im an even prouder owner of a 95 Talon. Its got 125,000 kms, T4 turbo, Greddy FMIC, Greddy Type RS BOV, 500cc Injectors, KYB adjustable shocks and some exterior mods including really nice front bumper, brand new rims and tires and an Eclipse wing. So overall im pretty happy about the whole weekend. I figure im going to use the 91 in the winter and 95 in the summer, so that way im driving nothing buy a DSM. Well thanks for reading, I look forward to reading and questions or comments Paul

Welcome to Automotive Forums.
 Sounds like you got yourself some pretty good deals there. Gotta love the 97 Talon bumper too.

Re: Bought Two Talons on Sunday
Well shit, I've got a gas tank in my 91 that I dont need. Too bad its under a tarp 4 hours north of me.
So what do you think of them?
