If this is the 1g that I saw outside BI(when they were open) the thing was fresh off the showroom. Thought I heard the owner say it seen rain/snow only from the inside of a garage.

As will I. This is a bad ass specimen of what a DSM can be in the right hands. VERY tastefully done.

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.

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

  1. Suspension--- Dont lower your car with stock struts
  2. Ball joints--- Normal
    4 Clutch--- been beat on
  3. Transmission grind--- Been beat on
  4. Lifters---
  5. Leaky oil pan--- I still cant get my oil pan to seal...

They are good cars if you take care of them

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

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..
