1992 Eagle Talon review from North America
"A high performance money hole"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It all started with in one week of owning the car. The main things started to go right away.
The first and major thing to go was the trasmission. This cost $1400 to get fixed.
Next was the altinator which went the next week I got the car back. This cost $250.
Then the water pump went two days after I got the car fix. This cost $200.
After that my timming belt went. I got a new one for $30, but that's not the only thing that went.
Seven of the valves went and the car now needs a new head.
This all happened in a matter of 4 months.
General comments?
This was a great car while it was running I have always wanted to have an Eagle Talon and when I got one it was the worst one.
I will get anther one, but I want a newer one and less miles.
