96 Talon TSi AWD FS or Trade

ive had this car for 3 weeks, and i have decided i am too big of a guy to be driving a small car such as this. and it sits so low its hard for me to get in and out of.

its a fast car, but it needs a good tune and safc imo. i really dont know enough about dsms to be modding it myself, and i think the good condition it is in, it deserves someone who will baby it and enjoy it.

overall its in really good condition, paint is original and has chips and such but its surprisingly good considering its a 12 year old car.

its got around 1500 miles on the rebuilt engine. has a new aftermarket clutch

(not sure which)

new timing belt water pump oil pump battery brakes bearings on front end, and new hub/bearing/axle on rear drivers side.

its on stock swirlies and needs new tires all around. (not on the belts, but around 15% tread)

it is lowered and has a nice aftermarket suspension. i believe the previous owner said 8 way adjustable shocks.

it has black leather interior which is in excellent condition except the edge of the drivers seat has a small hole. (could be sewn up)

aftermarket 3 gauge pod ( i have a/f and boost hooked up but not oil pressure yet)

i was told it has a garrett t28r turbo and an evo manifold. the turbo and wastegate look brand new.

the exhaust is an apexi (very nice deep sound, not ricey at all)

a/c and heat work well. all electronics work including fogs.

it sits low to the ground (about 5 inches off the ground) and it handles extremely well on corners.

i dont know what else to say, it has a clean title and it has about 145k on the chassis

5 speed manual with short throw shifter. shifts nicely no grinds etc.

overall its one of the cleanest 96 talons ive seen. no rust.


asking 7000 obo dont be afraid to make offers. the worst i can say is no.

might consider trades, im more of an american muscle kinda guy (plus i fit in those cars better) or a nice truck maybe. would take a nice import sedan maybe. i always prefer MT to AT

Re: 96 Talon TSi AWD FS or Trade

Was a little tight for me in a 92, 5'11" 210. The car was designed for a little asian driver i think.

Car looks damn nice, if i didn't have the stealth taking all my funds, i'd be makin an offer. GL.

Re: 96 Talon TSi AWD FS or Trade

How does the body look rust wise? What exactly was done with the rebuild?

Re: 96 Talon TSi AWD FS or Trade

rust wise its actually pretty clean. previous owner said it has only seen one winter.

i have noticed 2 spots of rust, on the sunroof itself underside. not on the body. about the size of a silver dollar.


and under the hood passenger side right by the suspension mount, theres about a half dollar bill size rust spot. its not rusted through and could be sanded/primered.


rebuild wise, this is what the previous owner told me.

engine has approx 1000 miles on a total top end rebuild. new valves pistons rings rods etc.

the turbo is a t28r and it was rebuilt. wastegate is new.

has new clutch i believe its an act 2600.

Re: 96 Talon TSi AWD FS or Trade

about the rust pics, i can do it but it will be a while, the car is parked at the airport and im on the road for work for a while, 3 weeks.



and i am tall and big, i have to lean my head to the side when i drive, else i hit my head a lot on the roof. i really am in no way a motivated seller, the car runs and drives perfectly so im going to be very patient on this one.
