On phone with ESi internet speed. I did search but
Not much luck unfortunately.
I'm looking at a 1997 Eagle Talon TSi AWD with aftermarket. Everything is done right and looks like the guy came here before he installed anything. However it is burning oil (no smoke but smell is prominent when running after awhile) and doesn't need one and has no knock but does come with a knock sensor and summer rims. Relatively high km at 230k but it doesn't bug me none.
They figure the oil problem is from bad seal because it has low compression on one of the valves.
Any other idea other than seals (bent valve? ) and what about would it cost me roughly to have it done? I'm lacking with tools and no garage. Just a rough price I know it varies from place to place.
Im kinda more iNterested in the car now to fix it up and avoid it being a scrap yard DSM. Always had interest in the 2Gs and my chance has finally arrived.
Also anyone got any idea what I should pay for a car like this? I'm not exactly new to vehicles like this but I a have never had problems like this with a vehicle. Thanks for any help.
Here's to hoping a DSM can be saved from either a negligent owner or a scrap yard!
