    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..

      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.

                      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.

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