I am about to take a plunge and buy an AWD talon for four hundred dollars. It needs some new body parts but have all of them for about $200. I have some questions for you. I did a VIN check for it. I live in Canada. The car has not been driven or registered for two years. The ignition in the car has been drilled out. Some idiot thought it would be cool to do that apparently. The person who did this said they were trying to diagnoise something. But to me it just made another problem. I am sure that after I replace the ignition there will be some other things wrong.
What do you guys suggest?
This is the list I have so far:
Flush and replace lines. (Coolant,Oil, Brake Fluid)
New Battery
Alternator
Ignition
Spark Plugs/Wires
Starter
Timing Belt
Engine Rebuild/Swap (I am guessing that most seals have gone bad in two years)
Can you guys think of anything else? Please give me your advice. I want an AWD. This is the only one that I can find for a reasonable deal. All the other ones I feel like they are asking for my first born. Any advice and or tips would be appreaciated.
Plus I have a GM MAF with and DSM translator.
I love my current car 92 TSI FWD. But I just want an AWD.
Thanks for all of your advice. James
