my buddy offered to sell me his automatic 1g awd talon with 132k on it. it needs 3 calapers, and a cv joint. but hes also gonna give me all his turbo stuff from his 2g that he blew up whick is a evo 3 16g, pace setter manifold, 2g intercooler pipin (which i would sell for 1g piping) gretty type-s bov, 660 injectors, and boost gauge, and a set of 17in konig monsoon rims for 2k. do u guys think i should pass it up or try to get a loan for it?

Pace setter manifold? New to me..



If you have to get a loan for $2,000 you shouldn't be owning a modified turbo DSM. They break and are expensive to fix.

sorry i dont have 2k to pull right out of my pocket that i can spend on a car i have bills to pay.dont know about that manifold thats what he told me... do u think its a good deal or not?

Pacesetter make a manifold, but its crap and will crack after a while. I ran across them when I was shopping for a mani for my 1g.

If you're taking out a loan for $2000 to buy a car that you can't drive and you have to have a loan because you don't have the money readily available to fix the car that doesn't run because a bunch of stuff is pre-broken and it comes with a POS manifold that needs to be replaced immediately then I'd say don't waste your time. (run on sentence on purpose)

just cause i need a loan for 2k doesnt mean i dont have the money to fix it right off the bat, im just gonna stop posting on this site. people dont have the common curtisy to awnser things nicely without ASSuming things!

It's running again shitheads.

Think for yourself. Question authority does not always mean disagree with authority.

If life were perfect, I'd be Calvin and you'd be Hobbes.

sounds like you want the car pretty bad to be putting up a fight over it. Get a loan, go pick it up, and stare at it for a year in your garage or yard while you try to fix it. Why ask for someone opinion when your gonna get defensive about it. Get the car and sit on it until your able to fix it and keep it up.

it was just out of the shop has a brand new head on it they snapped the timing belt befor

So brand new timing belt too? Then the costs that I can think of right away are lower, but again, I'd be conservative and budget $2k for repairs. That's just me though.

Old car. Tough to get around that.

You only need one good caliper since it's A/T. You won't need to slow down if you can't go fast...
Replace axle, slap on 16G, drop in the 660's, blow it up, crash cause you can't stop and then tell the guy to give you back $1000 for selling you a lemon. Then, sell the car as is for $1500 and you just made $500 cash and still have some sweet rims!

I'm totally just kidding BTW.
Yeah, it could be a good deal IF, you sell ALL the extra stuff he's giving you. Take the money and sink it back into the car on MAINTENANCE parts.
Get as much taken care of and get it running as good as new before you even THINK about modding it.

If you have $4000 to spend I'll sell you a runnin 1995 TSI AWD that just needs some body work and a pass/back seat.

it never ceases(sp?) to amaze me how much people love drama on this forum. The guy asked if 2k was a good deal for this particular car, he didnt ask for financial advising. Jesus, this thread has 18 replies and none had helped this guy. Jeff is right, if you have to take out a loan for this car, and it needs repairs, its probably not wise to purchase it....BUT, that wasnt your question, and you dont need 10+ people telling you the same thing.

With that said, what year 1g is it exactly? If the timing belt has recently been changed and the head has been rebuilt, thats one less thing to worry about. Were the cam seals, tensioner, waterpump, etc replaced when the timing belt was replaced? How is the exterior and interior condition of the car? Compression? Depending on the condition and year of the car, if all it needs is 3 calibers and one cv joint it sounds like a good deal, especialy if he throws in the evoIII 16g, pacecetter header(crap though, sell it), and other goodies(2g parts and rims).

OFF TOPIC: I wish half the people would respond to my thread
