DSM miles

[pimpthatride]

I found a 1996 talon and it has alot of miles, but the car has been well taken care of and everthing that has been done to it has a record. They want about 5,195 but if i were to get it i would try to lower it, because KBB says it has a retail of 4550 and thats a big dif...

Tell me what you guys think..

After losing out on my "perfect car" it looks like I will be buying a high mile, around 100,000, 2g Eclipse sometime this Dec. I have no problems tearing apart the engine and rebuilding it w/ major mods but besides a clutch what will I need to do, or will, the tranny hold up to the increase in power?
Looking to increase my output to around 300-350hp

As long as the tranny wasn't grinded badly or abused, 35ohp is fine for it.

Ok, what else would I need to look at on a high mile car? axles, boots,???

Hey
i was wondering, i found a car im very interested in, its a 1998 Gs-t with 80k miles on it. There mostly highway miles and im wondering if 80K is too much. How long do these type of cars last? thanks

That's alot but not too much. I have 65k on my 95 AWD.

How much is it? I just hit 70K miles on my car and I haven't had any major problems.

 

[soulcontroller]

hehe, my 98 has 22ooo miles on it. well, 23 now.

i got lucky when i bought it. only an RS though.

 

[airkyd]

I'm at 161k and mine is still running pretty well

 

[candela]

oh yea, 138k here...running at about 85%

 

[DSMTurboEclipse]

98.5k and need a new fuel filter..damn

 

[nholley]

I think it depends on If the car has been well looked after and If you want to perform a lot of mods.

 

[AW4G63]

I got 120,550 right now, all where pretty well driven miles! Runs butter then my bro's 99 gs spyder! But im near stock.

 

[Ecstacyraver]

[L2RTSiAWD]

Take before it needs rebuilt, this car has 12Ok on it but a old man had it. Any info would be great. Also what do you look for to see if the motor and tranny is going out

 

[Malefic DSM]

My older Talon that wasnt turbo, but had 174,000 miles still worked fine when I sold it. I'm shure with proper care and matanance it could go another 100k.

 

[WarpathDSM]

44k on a 97'

 

[Lunch_Box]

It all depends on how the car was driven how how well people have kept up with maintance. Do a compression check, that will tell you how the engine is doing and whether or not a rebuild is needed in the near future or not.

 

[1badgsx]

106,652 on a 1998 stock 7-bolt and head minus cams retainers and springs. No crank walk!

 

[hoffman]

65k on a 95 gsx.......and crankwalk doesn't scare me

 

[umiami80]

100,838 on my 95 TSi AWD, no crank walk.

 

[iceman30]

120 96 TSi AWD...not a hint of CW or turbo play
