Have you posted your car on DSM Trader? I got rid of both my Eclipses' through that site.

From boostedtalonawd's Ebay Auction This car is VERY quick and reliable. For being a fast sports car it has been very reliable for me, never left me stranded and never broke down.


Good luck. I hope you find a buyer and switch to an S2000. You will be pleased with your choice.

Here's another thing you might look forward to, if you keep the Talon. Right after my warranty expired, the timing belt tensioner began to lock up at anything above moderate engine speed, throwing valve timing way off, breaking the valves, and doing a lot of other damage. Not the first time I've heard of this either. Before that, my '92 ran like a gem. BUT, starting with the '95 model, changes were made to the car and the reliability rating nosedived. At almost ten years of use, I think it's trade in time for you.

Thanks,
Richard
