1994 Eagle Talon ES review from North America
"Awesome Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first got the car, I had the timing belt and timing gears, water pump, valve cover gasket, and radiator all replaced for about $1500, parts and labor.
The transmission went at about 95,000 miles, cost me $3,000 for a complete rebuild and new computer.
My friend recently blew the top end of the motor, revving the car for girls, so now it a rebuilt head, new timing belt (again), balancing belt (i think). and some other things i can't think of right now, which cost me $900 (he paid to fix it though)
General comments?
I love my car to death, and with the money I have into it, I will run it until she won't go anymore. This is the second Talon I've owned (my first one (a 92 2.0 non turbo), someone stole, and blew the transmission up). Very fast for a non turbo auto. I only paid $500 for the car itself. They do take some money, put I think it was well worth it.
