Buying the 1997 Eagle Talon
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1997 Eagle Talon for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page puts the 1997 Eagle Talon in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the Talon
NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The figures, translated
Its powertrain is 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. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated 9.8 L/100 km combined: about 29 litres every 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $171.50. The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Living with the Talon
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. At 4.44 m long, it is mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots. The EPA lists 425 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
Good uses for the Talon
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
A longer test drive
Rent the Talon first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the Talon on your commute before you commit to it. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Which one to look for
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
