Sell the bitch..then buy a TSi =D..but if thats not an option , there isn't anything wrong with the Talon's people are critical of our cars because of mass production. Keep it and fix it up or sell and buy a turbo version =) good luck.

Re: Need Help.

Its really up to you. If you like the car and dont mind spending a little bit replacing parts then keep it. Its got the 420a motor so its not a speed rocket but if thats cool with you then I see no reason why you should sell it.

To be honest the car isin't worth much at all anyways. If I were you I would just keep it and maybe plan on buying a new car in the next couple years if that what you want. But also keep the eclipse and it could be the DD or something.

Re: Need Help.

If the car is maintained well then you shouldn't have many problems. It depends on how modded the car is also.

Re: Need Help.

I stopped smoking so I will have an extra amount of money. I'm also picking up a second job so hopefully all the extra money will go into making it fast.
