I saw that too. Even with his bogus claims the car still looks clean and worth checking out more closely if you're looking for a Turbo II.

If you can find out where in NW Fl he is, (I am in Pensacola), if he is close I could go check out the car.

If I had the money I'd be all over that car since it's relatively close to me. But unfortunately I have to ditch the Dodge and the Honda before I can get another FC.

By February I should have about $10,000 cash to drop on a Turbo II, assuming both the bike and the car sell by then. That should be enough money to get the car and a few toys for it. The plan is to turn the car into a track day monster.

I've been keeping an eye out and fortunately there still seem to be clean FC's to be had.

Sounds like a water pumper. I pity the fool who buys that car.

um, I would bet if he can see the radiator leaking, its most likely the radiator since he proceeds to tell where he can see water leaking, also changing a water pump is not that hard............

When he said "water pumper", he implied the engine has an internal cooling breach within the coolant jacket.

I was actually just looking at that car.

Im looking for a S5 TII, as I think im stearing away from this GTU ive been looking at, for 4500


With all the suspension ****, and other mods, is it worth 4500? Thats how much I have set aside for a S5 TII in good shape. I dont care about mods, i'd prefer stock, but I want a good interior and exterior.


What's ya'lls opinions? Go or No go for that TII....
Ive already emailed the guy, but yeh, 325 is way off there.
