So the other day at work my friend Justin asked me to go with him over to Northgate Auto in Sheboygan after we were done so he could make make his car payment. I said, "why?" and he responded, "there's an 03' Eclipse you gotta see!" I was sold, how could I the "DSMer" possibly say no to checking out an Eclipse, even if it was just a 3rd gen.
After running around for a while in Justin's fat ass Dodge Intrepid we finally got to Northgate and that's when I saw it, not the Eclipse, but a 95 Eagle Talon Tsi! About the only thing I could see wrong with the car was a really badly bent wheel up front, and 200k miles. Good news was I have another set of wheels here at home that I could put on the car if needed. I know most people are saying, "what!? 200k miles!!" I say, the car's stock 100% and as long as it was maintained properly then there should not be any problems with it. The car had a preserve the wildlife sticker on the front window so I'm figuring the owner was probably a total flamer that knew nothing about DSM's. Another plus side was that the car had no visible rust! Soon after looking at it I went in to get a price and came out disappointed because the car hasn't been safety inspected yet.
Later that day I went and took pics of the Talon to show my parents and of course my Mom goes an shoots it down right away. Even though it looks good she keeps saying I don't need another car. Regardless I'm going in there tomorrow to check out the car anyways because I want to see how much they will take for it. I think that with some big car knowledge talking I could get them for about 1500 or less. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens, but all I know is that definitely need another DSM!
