Thinking of buying the 1998 Eagle Talon?
CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 1998 Eagle Talon before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 1998 Eagle Talon, here are the facts that matter.
Before you sign for the Talon
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Specs, explained
Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The combined figure, 10.0 L/100 km, means roughly 30 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $15.50, and a 300 km weekend about $46.50. The EPA estimates US$2,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Talon
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Inside and out
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. EPA lists 425 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the Talon first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the Talon for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If the Talon is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Narrowing it down
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 1998 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $155 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.50 in fuel.
