from the pic posted, i first thought it was some quirky finish. seeing it in person i realize it was the clearcoat failing
judging from the disappointment in my face, i wasnt even offered a test drive. i still wanted to drive it but at the same time i didnt want to waste the guys time because it wasnt the right car for me.
i would have expected a car in this sort of condition at a independent dealership but not at a name brand dealer. honestly they should have wholesaled it instead of having it on their lot.

I saw that too. I was interested until I read repaint and high km.
But he is moving to Japan, maybe he’ll accept a lowball in a couple months if it’s still around.

Km doesn't seem that high for like 13 year old car, less than 10000 km a year.

It looks like a quality repaint at least, seeing as they did the jams.

This is a project for sure, but you don't see many of them these days. 1997 Eagle Talon AWD, turbo, manual that needs some love. https://m.facebook.com/marketplace/i...ref=browse_tab

I'd show up with $15k and drive off with it feeling really good about things.

I kept opening up the ad throughout the day. It’s growing on me.
The seller does seem very passionate for the car and the pic and ad wasn’t half assed.
I guess my next concern is how well it was painted and the condition it was in going into the booth.
I messaged him. Let’s see if this is the one…
