It was fun while it lasted ;(...No but this would be like me daily driver so i couldn't beat on it that bad...

Any owner or previous owner on here that could vouch for the gas mileage? I was looking around online and ppl are saying the 98 only gets like 23 highway?

[JN210]

Should get more than that?, My avenger gets 30 highway.

Things that go wrong with 2 G's that i have seen.

1. Crank walk --- Heavy clutch makes this worst
2. Suspension--- Dont lower your car with stock struts
3. Ball joints--- Normal
   4 Clutch--- been beat on
4. Transmission grind--- Been beat on
5. Lifters---
6. Leaky oil pan--- I still cant get my oil pan to seal...
7. leaky oil return drain-- Easy fix
   9.bad crank sensor--
8. timing belt balance shaft belt-- replace at every 60k
9. power steering squeel-- IDK
   12 2gs rust underthe hood and door jams first..

They are good cars if you take care of them

Unless you are looking to buy one ASAP I would highly recommend waiting for an AWD model to surface...They do perform admirably in the snow/ice.

My Talon will usually get 25mpg +/- a few mpg's depending on how my driving was.

Get some compression numbers too!! That will give you a sign of what your getting into..

[wishinsky]

hmm kk thanks...How would i go about getting compression numbers?...Would $2500 be to much for a 98 with 122k miles. no dents or scratches. (Noob here)

I have been looking for the awd but there aren't to many of them in the F/M area or in Minneapolis area on craigslist

All those things go wrong with about any car. Except for maybe #7, but you can replace oil pan with valve cover.

my gf sold her car for 5k but it had like 73k miles and in great condition

[wishinsky]

This one seems in very good condition to. It has no dents or scratches, but it has a cracked windshields and the guy said he can get it replaced for $180. Has some aftermarket parts and some new parts to if you want me to list...Most you guys are very knowledgeable with cars so not trying to be a pest just don't want to buy something that's going to be a big piece of crap so thanks for all the advice.

[DelSlow]

What parts does it come with?

Wasn't that completely stock with an ebay front mount/charge piping kit?
