I'm looking at buying a Talon ESI but it has 222000KM (NOT MILES) Is it okay as long as its been taken care of? I can get it for a killer deal but I wanna know if the engine is going to last. Anyone have one with that many km's? i think thats about 125000Miles

has the trans been replaced? if not I don't give it much longer, especially if its an automatic.

haha naw man its not an auto, no offenece to those that has one... but i wouldn't drive an automatic... not as much fun. But thats for the input

if its been taken care of it should be fine. try and get some service records on it.

yeah thats the thing... its been garaged its on the first owner with all the maintanience records. A girl drove it so she did everything the dealership asked

then you should be good for awhile as long as you keep doing the maintence.

edit: even though this sounds like a good esi. make sure that you arent going to come back in a week whining aboput getting beat by a honda. if you want a fast car an esi is not the best base to start with. if you just want something kinda quick that looks cool go for it.

Did I say anything about speed? or trying to beat a honda? No I don't... Stick to the question buddy... and leave the performance up to me.

no prob. i didnt know what you plans for the car were. just trying to avoid another person coming asking how to make their rs/gs/esi faster.

It turned out to be a pretty good car. It needed a rear wheel bearing and a windshield but other then that its a nice little car. Give it some rims and maybe run alittle boost through it and it will be a nice little car. If anyone is selling 17" rims let me know.

my RS engine blew the headgasket at 80000 miles its an auto. tranny still shifts good though.

Either the guy before you didn't take care of it or you got a lemon mobile.... I'm just worried about the bottom end... but i've heard the 420A is a pretty strong motor... Yeah mines a 5spd and its fine.... The only thing wrong with the motors is that it has noisy lifters when u first start it up on a really cold day, but that doesn't bother me at all.

I know, its hard to trust people these days though. They say its all good even if it isn't. Burning oil at only 80, 000 miles. I got the car and it was at 77k miles. I don't even take the RPMs over 3-4k...
