Hi everyone,
I came across an AWD Talon for about 3k USD while looking for an interesting car, the interior and exterior are very well taken care of, and the car is completely stock so that's the biggest plus. The electrical components; windows, mirrors, seats, sunroof, A/C all work.
The big issue is the AWD is disabled due to an issue, right now it drives only on FWD and the seller either doesn't know or won't tell me what the issue is so I'm blind untill I can have that checked.
The engine also sounds pretty bad, it doesn't really rattle but it sounds like an unhealthy whirrrr.
He sent me pictures of the undercarriage but it looks recently power washed so I suspect bad oil leaks, also the exhaust looks pretty rusted
What I'd like to know is what kind of issue could the AWD, does the exhaust look good or is it too rusted, and (once I post a video) what you think about the engine noise.
I don't know too much about working on cars aside from a very basic experience working as a shop hand about 8-9 years ago when I was 19, but I'm stubborn as hell and willing to work on this car myself when possible.
I'd like to get your opinions on the car and learn as much as I can from you guys, I hope to be an official part of the community soon
