I don't know that much about cars so: There's a guy selling an Eagle TALON for $12,000, and I'm 16 soon to be 17. I wanna sweet ride, obviously, so I'm thinking about it, and I got it checked out, and everythings fine. Is $12,000 good for it? Also, another car mmy friend is selling is a 1995 Mustang, for $11,500. I'm not sure if it's alright, but it probably is, they have 4 cars, and chances are they need to get rid of a few cars. So wich do you think I should buy, assuming I can afford both?!? Andre Rioux ... "Whoa! She just had sex?
