Used Car of the Day: 1991 Eagle Talon 2.0L TSI Turbo AWD
Cheeseheads (and those neighboring Wisconsin, like FIBs such as myself), take note: There's an Eagle in your midst.
You can find this Eagle Talon in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, for $6,500 or best offer. Oh, and it's a stick.
The owner says it's stock, has 169K miles, has been garage-kept, and has been driven by his wife. He says it has no rust other than maybe surface rust, but it is also not running at present and it has a coolant leak -- the owner isn't sure what is causing the leak.
He says the car isn't running due to an ECU issue, and that there is also an oil leak. He claims the car's issues could be fixed without too much trouble -- he just doesn't have the time.
Perhaps you have the time, the inclination, and the cash -- a five-speed Eagle Talon sounds like a hell of a lot of fun.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.
