is this a good deal?

im about to buy an 88 Turbo 2 for 2300 and its got what appears to be a larger turbo than stock, and aftermarket intercooler, cold air intake, pop charger, fluidyne radiator, 18" arbet rims wit mazda inserts, greddy turbo timer, momo steering wheel and shifter ****, and a 10-12" screen where the radio goes to control the engine kinda like a stand alone unit but more advanced, a vent on the passenger headlight for the turbo, oh also the engine has had a full rebuild, the vehicle itself has 131000 miles and there is a 8-10" impact on the driver side quarter panel...... also if i choose to buy this car is it true that i have to let the engine cool down b4 shutting off to maintain the life of the turbo.

be sure seller has recipts for the rebuild on the motor. Also you should post some picks of it up here and let the guys on here take a look. As for the turbo cooling down, you can buy a turbo timer and it will run the car for a preset time before shutting it off after you turn off the key.

This will save you lots of time and headaches.

Is this your first rotary powered car?

If so, I hope you are a fast learner, problems may occur.

Usually you have to let it cool down, but as you stated it comes with a Greddy Turbo Timer so there ya go. And I bet he just has a CARputer in there, because I don't see what could need a 10" screen to run. Damn good buy though, if it runs good.
