LUke, Eagles are newa dn under appreciated like many AMCs. As for driving it daily, you could not get a better vehicle for any area of country you live in. I have 4 Eagles and drive several of them daily, my white 82 has 210,000 miles on it, and Paige will be getting home soon in her 88 Eagle, and later I have to go up to FedEx and ship some stuff out and will be taking the 81 Eagle, which is a rare 4cyl, 4spd, and gets whopping 25-29mpg.

 

As for the linkage wiper motor, you might check that out, as I had trouble on Paige's 88, but the old man who owned it tried to rewire the wiper motor and had some wires crossed, I fixed them and works great although no more delay

Subject: [BaadAssGremlins] Eagle questions

I had a guy come in to work the other day and offered me an Eagle he wanted to sell.

It is a blue '85 wagon with 75k on its 6 banger and auto. He told me he bought it from the proverbial old lady and since then has put $3500 into it. He said it needed wiper linkage and he'd sell it to me for $1000. It has been stored most of its life and has hardly any rust.

I was wondering what anyone on the group thought if I should get it or not. I already have 3 other vehicles on the road, my Hornet, an F150 and a Buick Century. The Buick is is my daily driver and is getting tired so I am looking for a replacement. I was wondering what I would expect for mileage, since it would be my daily driver. I commute about 50 miles a day to work and back and travel between 15 and 20 thousand miles a year.

I just thought Id try the group for some input.      Thanks                              Luke
