The 1998 Eagle Talon: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1998 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 helps you judge the 1998 Eagle Talon before you buy one anywhere.
Before you sign for the Talon
Owners filed 17 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, engine and engine cooling and vehicle speed control; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Reading the spec sheet
It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Expect about 30 litres for every 300 km, going by its 10.0 L/100 km combined rating. A 300 km weekend costs about $46.50 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,850 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space, size and seats
Being a small car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. EPA lists 425 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
When the Talon makes sense
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Rent it for a week first
Drive the Talon on your commute before you commit to it. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Try the Talon on your commute, then decide.
Money matters
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $155 at our price setting.
Year and trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 1998 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
