A buddy of mine has a gorgeous '97 Eagle Talon with only 55,000 miles, however it's been determined that the #2 cylinder has zero compression.
I'm not a gearhead at all, but his options seem to be:
1. engine overhaul, estimating $3k - 5k (no real quotes yet)
2. donate it to an organization and reap the tax benefits next spring or,
3. ???
Any comments/thoughts would be appreciated. The car is in otherwise great shape and he loves driving it, but it's hard to justify spending a lot of money on a vehicle that is already eight years old. Can it be fixed for less doing something else?
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
