Greg, it all depends on the condition of the cars and if they're turbo or NT. Also, you won't know if your getting a good deal or not until you actually go look at the car and inspect it.
I learnt this lesson well when I drove 3hrs to montreal to look at 92 TSi AWD with 130k on it and as the owner said "like new" condition for $5500, got there and the thing was a piece of sh*t, I mean the thing had 140K on it not 130K like he said and the thing was worth maybe $3000, it was beaten to sh*t, but the picture in the trader looked good and shiny, haha. 2 weeks later found the same car, similar mileage, color, etc for $5000 in excellent condition and I bought it, probably should have paid $6000 for it, it was a good deal. Like Paul said, check out the trader to see what they are selling for.
Black '92 Talon TSi AWD - SOLD

hehehe, thanks for the info. I have been to autotrader.ca many times looking at Talons and Lasers, I was just curious as to how much they were outside of the trader.ca users. Anyways, thanks for the input, and tomorrow I will call about some prices. I did have a look at them today, the Laser looked in better shape with less km's (I think), but I like the Talon more, and it needed new brakes and I am not sure what else, but I will be sure to find out tomorrow, thanks again!

Well, I just called for the prices...the Talon was $7995, loaded with around 180,000 km's on it, and it needed new brakes, and front bumper, and I am not sure what else (out of my price range) and the Laser was $3995, but I could barely understand the guy, he said something about emissions so I am guessing it may need new exhaust, so anyways, the hunt continues on...
