Eagle Talon Tsi. AWD. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! without discussing condition or interior, etc. At first, I thought tasteful mods like an intake and cat-back exhaust, but no! A long laundry list of, I think, thought out parts. If I ran a youtube channel I would get it and see what sort of power a very tired tuner special with a presumable decade of hard shifting on boost would make. HOWEVER! The seller spells things correctly, even has OEM seats. It could be a loved and looked after project that has run its owner’s course. I do wonder about this vehicle’s reality. For a tired EVO under the skin, what say you?

At this point, the car is a reflection of the environment it was driven in, and the fastidiousness of its current owner. Judging by how clean that interior is (definitely not what I expected to see in a 250k mile DSM) I would bet this person knows what they’re doing. Total steal if it can be driven hard without exploding.

That’s an insanely high price for the miles. That’s full looney.

Kinda of what I was thinking. Actually not a piece of crap. So what you’re saying is that this is a museum piece dating back to the first FF movie, a definite auto cultural touchstone. A museum should be all over this.

Oil.. or coolant bottle sitting in the passenger foot well for easy access. As a fellow Mitsubishi owner I’m familiar with this.

Also it’s an Eagle but that’s an Eclipse front bumper, so there’s probably a reason for that.

I did not notice. Now, given it’s carrying extra boost and mods, is this a good or bad sign over the normal?

Honestly I wouldn’t say it’s good or bad, just expected

Its a total sleeper too. This guy only cares about one thing. SPEED!!! And he who forgoes visual mods usually pays very close attention to the mechanical side of things. Also I love the patina on the front bumper. Definitely wouldn’t touch that, just a clean and a wax.

Theres two youtube channels I’d start if I had the real time to edit things and do it right. 1.) Tall people trying to fit in sports cars and 2.) Cruising the craigslists for interesting things and just plain talking to the owners/carguys about their experience with their baby for sale.

I’ve bought dumber things on a whim, like golf clubs

2. is fucking brilliant. Seriously. That is as unique and interesting as Vinwiki, and in the same vein, but for the average guy instead of lambo owning cannonballers. You wouldn’t have to edit much. However... the automotive YT space is sad AF and caters towards teenage vloggers driving their parents’ cars

Buy it and go through it inch by inch. Check the timing belt, oil pressure and such. Regardless of stereotypes these cars are hardy and quite forgiving.

It looks alright. I’d go for it if I was in the DSM market.
