Would you buy this car?

Ok, I'm looking at a '95 Talon TSi AWD with the following:

DB UICP
-1g BOV
-Joe P MBC
-Autometer boost gauge
-Under hood shift kit
-Custom K&N intake
-Reinforced rear strut bar
-Front strut bar
-Rear Tokico HP coilovers
-Semimetalic pads


New
-19k on rebuilt tranny
-Front Bridgestone G009 HP all seasons
-Both lower ball joints (recall)
-Left inner tierod
-Fronts left hub assembly
-Right rear hub assembly
-Front rotors
-Newer starter


It has 133k on the engine though. Price is around $5k, would you do it?

If the body and interior are in good shape, yes. Be sure to find out when the timing was last done.

Will do, thanks. Anyone else out there?

I'd pick it up. Gots a good start on some mods, and if the body's straight sounds like a nice ride. Plus its a 95 so you'll most likely have the "Eprom"

5 grand is insane for a 95 tsi awd with 133k miles...It bareley even modded wow a boost controller! The cars worth 3-3500 or thats what i would pay for it. 5k is crazy

Shift kit huh, im guessing its and automatic, no way should you pay that much for a 95 with that many miles, you will have alot more fun with a 5spd and you will put more power to the wheels

I agree

I wondered about the shift kit too, because the ad says it's a manual. Hmm....

 

[awdornowd]

I think he ment the bushings for the shift linkage under the hood. That would mean it's a manual.

5speed would definitely be more fun. Automatics are worth more. Go look up the Blue book from kbb.com

I would say no because I just picked up my 95 Talon TSi AWD for 5 grand with no mods done, so i can do what i want, and it had 68,000 miles on it . It also had a little bit of body damage but notting that can't be fixed and made to look better anyway. The mods however are a nice start. My only problem is the miles and i'm not too big on rebuilding stuff. Just stick somethign new and better in it.
