The 1997 Eagle Talon for buyers
No 1997 Eagle Talon is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 1997 Eagle Talon is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Owners filed 24 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, engine and engine cooling and suspension; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Reading the spec sheet
It is powered by the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Fuel use is rated 9.8 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 29 litres. At our price setting, it costs about $17.15 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
How big it is
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. At 4.44 m long, it is mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots. The trunk holds 425 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.
A good match for
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Drive it on your own roads
If the Talon is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the Talon first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Choosing the right one
Within the 1997 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
