If I had the space I'd snag those 2 spyders for 750 and do the awd swap. I do dig that laser though. Super clean.

Buy my Expedition, resell it for more value, and help me get my dream car.
 
Got it for a trade! Anyone care to go inspect it for me in the little rock area?
 
Looks like it. I lose something to tow things, but I gain my dream car. <3
 
Well guys i am flying in to Michigan to look at this 98 awd talon tomorrow evening. I have been talking to this owner for about two weeks now and decided to go up there and check it out. The carfax checked out good and it is a one owner car. He said he replaced the timing belt and balance shaft belt at 63,000 miles and in 2003. The car now has 72,000 miles on it, so its obvious he has not driven it very much. I offered and talk to him about the price and got it lowered. If everthing checks out i will be driving it down here saturday morning. Please pray for me and the car and safe jorney without problems.

I am in love with that car, but that price? Jesus. I'd never pay that for -any- DSM. Hopefully you talked him way down, what with the investment of a few hundred for flying and then for driving.

:) I'd be happy to fly with you.

Yeah my dad is going to fly with me. I paid the flight ticket to convince him to go with me. It is one way ticket, so if the car check out questionable we are driving back home in a rental car. Yeah the price he has listed is high, but for one owner and adult driven i am willing to pay close to that. it has 4 new tires, transmission oil changed, and 02 sensor is replaced.

I am just worry about that timing belt and balance sheft belt tho. It has 10,000 miles on the new belt but its been 9 years since.

Shit I'd sell you my talon if you are going to be paying that much LOL. Bone stock when I got it, just maintenance and clutch upgrades so far.
 
Yes. Someone likely offered cash. -shrug- But now I'm set on a new car. Time to find something else, or an F-Body.
 
Yeah~ Now it's just finding one interested. Haha.

DAMNIT I hate shifty people.. -.-;

How'd it go? Did you get it?
 
Absolutely amazing car. Its in great shape... good find..

What are you going to do with the other car?

Thanks, the car dose need tlc underneath (rear). Luckily, the owner when he bought it in 1998 he coated the car with paint and body protectant on top and on bottom so the rust don't get to it too much. But, still it needs tlc to remove the rust areas.

For the other car, i bought a Fel-pro composite gasket and timing belt to replace the metal gasket and the old timing belt it had on. The only thing i am missing now is the special timing tools and ill be good to go. I also bought an HY35 and planning to run it on the gsx. That will all have to wait until i find some time.

Right now i am just focusing on detailing the talon. :)
