Am I nuts when I say that a 1996 Eagle Talon with only 57k miles on the odometer offered for less than $5k seems like a great deal? Have I been drinking the bring yer trailer Kool Aid? Is this a good price for a slushbox equipped base model (160 hp 4-banger) front-drive 90s car…because […]
This next car comes as a tip from Jeff G who writes: 92 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS, manual, 55k miles, 1-owner car. They’re pretty proud of it, but gonna be hard pressed to find a better looking one of these… That is very true, because most Eclipses from the 90s have long been turned into drag […]
The Diamond Star Motors (DSM) Eagle Talon is one of those cars that you either get…or your don’t get. Which is totally fine. Some cars are like that, they don’t have universal appeal, but they do have a cult of followers.

Just about […]
It’s well known that angular shots add movement and excitement to the subject being photographed. Too many canted (or Dutch) angles on a horizontal subject like a car become like KFC’s departed Double Down sandwich: too much of a good thing that just becomes nauseating. Perhaps this Eclipse’s seller wants to convey the awesomeness of his […]
No accidents. No rust. No modifications that can’t be removed with minimal effort. Five-digit mileage, exactly two previous owners (both female, interestingly). This 6-bolt, 4G63-powered, all-wheel-drive example is the Talon of your DSM dreams. At about double the going rate of its modified sisters, it’s priced similarly to the 26k-mile automatic 1992 Talon we dug […]
