proud new owner of a 1990 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD

k. · Post by k. » Thu Jul 05, 2007 2:55 am

So, I posted quite a while back about wanting to get an Eagle Talon TSi AWD. Against the majority of oppinions from everyone being "not a good idea".. I decided to keep looking. Didn't know if I would find an AWD with the rarity of these cars but..

I did! Its an hour away and I am buying it tommorow

Owner got rich, moved away, and can afford "better" i guess.
1990 Eagle Talon TSi AWD, $3,500 (down from $5,000) 195,000kms (not too shabby)
because of the low price, and good condition (as far as i could tell when i took a test drive, and the fact that I got a job interview.. (money for repairs

) I think it will be a great first car

It's maroon with little to no rust. (Couldn't be too picky with the color)
Seats are great (wouldnt recomend anyone over 4 ft to sit in the back though

)

Issues with it: (to be expect from a 17 year old car, nothing major)
-Air conditioning dosn't work. We have an air conditioning expert across the street fortunately.. and i think it just needs some freon.
-door pannel is loose, the dealer is sending it to an auto repair
-loose piece of plastic around cd player
-ugly double stripes on paintjob (best friends dad owns an autobody though

)

minor stuff.

with a little love.. this car will be awesome

Thought I would share my happiness.

Congratulations! Finding that perfect car is always a great feeling. As long as you are happy, that's all that matters.

lucky. I hope to get one of those for a first car too. the legendary 4G63 is calling me. this guy on my street has 2, I'm hoping I can get a deal on one

....but what about my FC and the whole rotary obsession? ahhh....diffficult decisions

Not feeling the stripes very much, but other than that, looks great. My dad had a black '90 TSi awd ... loved that car to death.

I didn't really like them either but in the picture they look really white seeing them for real they aren't to bad. I'd rather have money for repairs then getting it painted i guess. Um yeah.. my digital camera decided to not charge anymore so I don't know whats up with that. I'll have to get a new one i guess

. Till then I have no pictures, sorry!
