’96 Talon Tsi, all-wheel drive (great for the winter!), turbo, 5-speed, black with gray leather, moonroof, 117,xxx miles. It’s cleaned up and ready to go. Price is $3,995.

I’ve owned it since 78,000 miles, since then it’s had synthetic Mobil 1 every 3,000 miles. I’ve done the timing belt and water pump, spark plugs and wires, fuel filter, and synthetic fluids in the transmission, transfer case and rear end. It received a couple front-end parts, a four-wheel alignment, four KYB struts (stock springs), and poly swaybar bushings last year.

Power upgrades include a full 3-inch stainless steel exhaust (with catalytic converter) Magnaflow muffler and stock tips. Has a poly front motor mount, hard intercooler pipes, hard intake pipe with open-element air filter, Greddy internally vented blow-off valve, a manual boost controller and a boost gauge in the glove box. (Link to exhaust install and dyno article)

Unfortunately, there’s a dime-sized rust spot atop the windshield, some under the hatch and where the hatch meets the rear fender. There are also scratches and a couple ripples on the rear driver’s side wheel well, a ding in the hood, and only one fog light. If I get ambitious, I may fix the rust, reinstall the fog light and/or shampoo the carpet.

I would trade for a '97-01 Jeep Cherokee (not grand), with the Chrysler 8-1/4" rear (essential) and the full-time 4wd option (would be nice).
