This Eagle Talon is a time capsule of the 90′s. Once George had the car he looked through the stack of records the previous owners have collected over the years, he found something very rare, the window sticker. Finding a window sticker in a car these days is rare, let alone a car that thousands apon thousands were produced. I had the pleasure of being able to drive this TSI and let me tell you, I felt like I had just drove off the dealer lot. No a rattle or squeek as i drove over the harsh Colorado roads. Every DSM owner will tell you they are full of rattles. This truly is a beauty.
