Well, long story short, I had to sell the evolution due to financial reasons.
I picked up a jeep and now need something with some speed.
There is a guy selling an eagle talon, TSI, AWD. He claims it ran a 11.5 at 127mph.
He is askign 4500 or best offer. After reading the following do you guys think

A) it is as quick as he says (I can't gauge off of driving it...sorry)
B) what should I offer

So here is what it has:

THANKS GUYS

 

it also has some gauges and aftermarket white rims( I don't like) and what not.

No roll cage

 

Is it green? possible pics?? IF its the car i saw on here for sale a while back its a real clean car and looks worth it. need some pics of it all...

 

nah it is white.......

 

 

I know nothing about older DSM's but that intake side looks sizeable.

 

looks beastly, I am just not familiar either. Wasn't sure where else to post. He is flexible on the price but I wanted to see what you guys thought.

Looks like KBB has this car stock and what not around 1600 or so in this condition.

Look forward to hearing from you guys.
thanks

 

Little much for a 1G but 4000 with those mods isn't totally unreasonable.

 

With those mods and a good driver i could see that car going 11's. I also agree that 4k is the most i would offer

Not in to bad a shape either...hard to find ones that aren't trash now

 

x2, but 3800 is more reasonable.. Good luck.

 

You can go mid 11's all day long on the 20g. That is a damm good price for a fresh motor and drivetrain. If you buy a 1600 dollar DSM you get a car that probably won't get you home. If you buy a 3800 dollar DSM it'll get you home but it won't be fast. A car like that looks well built and taken care of and its worth the money.

Honestly, if I were selling my mid 11 second DSM for 4500 and somebody lowballed me I'd tell them to **** off and find a better car for the price.

 

my talon is for sale!! if you are interested...

yeah, i didn't get to make an offer. I asked him just a few questions and he told me forget it, so not sure if i hit a sensitive point or something.
I asked if he did the engine rebuild or a shop rebuild
I asked if he had a receipt that the tranny was new
and I asked if it was inspected in NJ and if not, if the car had cats on it

oh wells. lol

 

If he can't answer those questions he probably didn't have a few of the things that he said he did. Those are easy questions. Its just that I do have a mid 11 second DSM and I don't think I could part with it for 4500 and if that car was legit, I wouldn't be lowballing. Thats all.

Plus I'm pretty sure you haven't been able to buy a new tranny or TX case for a 1g for quite a few years, like over 5.........

 

offer 3k go up to 3.5k, in these parts its hard to get over that for a 1g
