My car is actually a 1990 Jeep Eagle Talon, but like the Chrysler Lasers of that year, it it is really a Mitsubishi Eclipse marketed under a different name by a different company. On the increasingly frequent occasions I've had to have major work done on it, I've sometimes taken it to the local Mitsubishi dealer
Anyway, it is turbocharged 5-speed manual with All Wheel Drive. About the only option available at the time it doesn't have is a sunroof. It has about 138,000 miles on it but still likes to be wound out.
Questions: What would it sell for, given that it needs a paint job, a new fuel/air valve, and has a worn interior? I'm just curious if anyone can look up the KBB prices for a car that I think most people would say is in poor-to-moderate condition?
If I have to have work done on it instead of selling it, is it the sort of car one can easily find reasonably good parts for from wrecked cars at junkyards? Is it wise to do so on this car?
How hard is it to patch up cracked vinyl and tuck in a new ceiling cover? That, plus new floor mats and a though cleaning would make the interior look years younger.
Best regards, Mark Gibson
