Uhhh.. I think I'm going to freak out.

Minus the rims...

What am I seeing? The Glorified... But un-glorified!
Depressing :(

[Jakey]

-New crank + bearings = crankwalked in the past
-Buchur is spelled Buschur
-How do you lighten a ACT 2600 lb clutch?
-The drivetrain was recently replaced yet the 1-2 syncro is bad?

I think you can find a better car Tauni, as perty as that Talon is.

Now that I think about it, this may not be such a bad buy. I spend waaay more than $3550 on mine, and it's not even turbo. I'd for sure ditch the ugly rims though. What do you guys think?!

[Tauni]

Shit. Now I'm depressed again. But I guess I don't understand. If its fixed, whats the big deal? How big are the chances of it fucking up again?

It's depressing. Last night I was telling my boyfriend how it would be perfect if I could find my exact car in a turbo... I'd be in heaven. Now I find one and I guess it's a pile... :(

I really like those body style talons. I prefer black or white though. If it were me, I'd get it if it was sold for a very good price, and then work through the problems. 95% of the DSM's out there will have problems. That's just how they are. To find one that's already moded a bit and be in perfect working condition, no little quirks or issues, that's hard to find.

Well this car is MY car.. Looks identical to mine, which is why I want it so bad. I've found 2 others like it on Ebay that are in pretty nice condition, also a white with black spoiler like mine and a black on black with the same spoiler. This is look I want, and I guess I'm not having as many problems as I thought I would finding one. Just depends on how picky I decide to be, I guess.

[Halon]

I wasn't saying anything bad about it. If it's what you want that's great. I was just agreeing with you saying that is probably my favorite body style DSM (97-98 talons). And if it were me I'd probably look into it some more and go for it if it sounds good. I could care less if he spelt Buschur wrong.

Be carefull with eBay. I know one member on here who probably regrets buying a car on eBay and I am sure there are many more.

My advice; find an experienced DSMer and go look at the car before you even think of comiting to it.

Ebay is the easy way out for people with shady products. Most of the time buyers are half way across the country and never see the item 'til the money is in the sellers hands. All the buyer has to lose is a reputation point if he was truthful in his description.
Deals can definitely be had on eBay as long as you are careful.
