Possible buys...

So I was searching on cars.com and came across these to Talons

I'm digging the 92 more than the other one, what do you guys think. Do you guys think the 92 is over priced? How much is it actually worth?

Re: Possible buys...

OK, I think the 1G is way better then that 2G. Is the 1G AWD or FWD? It is way to expensive for a 15 year old car. I would pay a maximum of about 3500for it considering it has 45xxx miles and is rust free since its in CA and you get a free K&N filter with the car WOW. Rust is your biggest problem if you ask me. (just look at Blackcrow64 Talon, rust is the biggest problem in my opinion on cars that are located in the midwest and east coast.) Nothing agaist Blackcrows Talon but he had pics on it so I had to use an example .

Re: Possible buys...

I wouldnt get either. Sure the first one is AWD and has low-ish miles but its riced out and obviously the owner doesnt know jack shit about the car so its probably either not been taken care of and/or abused. The other is low miles and looks really clean but thats awefully expensive for a 1gb 7 bolt FWD.

Re: Possible buys...

Yeah I've changed my mind, I'm not going for either one. Tomorrow I'm going to look at a Red 05 Ford Focus ZX3 with 17k miles with a 5 speed and its only 8 grand. Hopefully I'll have some pics up of it if I get it *fingers crossed*

Re: Possible buys...

The Focus is probably one of the worst cars Ford makes...

Re: Possible buys...

If you really really really want a Ford, why not get something a little nicer (as far as Ford goes), like a convertible Mustang or something?
