Hi everyone. Been looking around this site for years. I had a 1997 TSi about 8 years ago, and have always been sad
I got rid of it. A couple days ago I came across this Talon, and I am pretty interested in it.
What I would like to know is if this is a good idea, the owner said it has a blown head gasket. They said it had been sitting for about a year after the head gasket went bad. The car is said to only have 72,000 original miles on it. I'm not afraid of doing a head gasket. I have a friend who is a mechanic, and I am not a complete idiot in the garage.
As it is a craigslist sell, I am really wary. Could I get any advice on what to ask and or look for that could ease my nerves? I don't want this to be a huge project car. My hope is to get the gasket knocked out in a weekend (hopefully) and use it to drive to work and eventually do some light modding.
Also, is the price good?
here is the link.
