I've been wanting an FC for a while, and I finally found the one I think I'm going to get, just wanted to see what you guys thought (since I don't know what they're worth) Sorry for the long-*** post, just want to give you guys all the facts I know.

The car is as follows:

88 Turbo II

150,000miles (I know, it's a lot)

It has a new high flow cat converter and downpipe (Bonez), freeflow catback (Bonez), Apexi S-AFC, Walbro fuel pump (not installed), 3" Turbo inlet duct and cone intake (quality, s5 turbo and manifold (not installed (from a 89-91 TII)), Ported Throttlebody (still have unported one), New clutch and resurfaced flywheel, Front Lip (currently not on), new plug wires (ngk), New master/slave cylinder & steel braid line, Fuel Cut Defenser, Greddy Turbo Timer, Autometer Boost & Autometer Oil Pressure guages, Eibach Springs & Tokico Struts/Shocks, Trust/Greddy Front Strut Tower Bar, Blitz BOV - 225's Yokohama AVS ES100 (2 practically new - 2 Worn (rears)) on Borbet Type T Wheels +35 offset, Stock Rims w/Dunlop Winter Sport M2, S5 Round Tailights, s5 upgraded alternator.

Car did 215RWHP with the cat on, stock boost, and the turbo starting to go.

Now for the bad:

Paints a little chipped, and it needs a little body work (body is probably a 7 out of 10).Window and sunroof needs greased and cleaned. Driver door handle broken. Has a vacuum leak which gives it a semi-rough idle. Turbo seals are on the way out (that's why it comes with the S5 turbo and manifold)

Asking price: 2200.00

Here's a pic:

 

Thats a pretty good deal, but the motor is goin to go anytime soon if it hasnt been rebuilt.

 

I'd say it's a good deal, even if the engine needs a rebuild.

 

where the pic

 

sounds pretty good - also check for regular used car stuff: does the following work:
-AC
-Stereo
-alignment, does the car go straight and does the steering wheel shake.

These little things let you know if the car was cared for, check the body lines and if anything is very off the car has been smacked up and pieced together...sounds like a good buy so far though.

 

where the pic

 

that sounds like a pretty good deal! I would think!
sounds like a find!

 

no pic

 

sound like a fairly good deal to me as well. but wheres the pic???

 

Sorry about the no pic, for some reason this forum runs REALLY slow on my PC, and I guess it didn't upload. I'll try again:

Edit:

Lets try these:
Interior:

Rear of car w/ aftermarket rims on:

Front of car (you can see it's dirty, and see the paintchips) without front lip on and with winter rims/tires on:

 

Damn, that would be hard to pass up for that price. The car looks really good from that picture.

 

that's a sweet ride for 2200....try telling the guy 1800, and then you'll have some capital for a engine rebuild or something!

 

I would SOOOOOOO buy it.

But plan to have 2k saved for a new engine.

150k on a turbo engine is pretty damn high.

The interioir looked hella clean.

I bet you could part that car out for 2200at the least so buy it!!

 

Thanks for the replies guys!

So, if (/when) I have to do a rebuild, what would the cost be to do it myself? (for new gaskets etc), and are there good manuals out there for it?

Or, would it be better to just use a place like Rotary Ressurections or something?

 

holy ****! dave is letting it go for 2200!!??

 

1800 cash and I think it could be yours.......try it....

 

i know that guy, i looked at that car not too long ago. like a month ago. its in slc. not a bad ride. he was selling it for 3200 last month. so i think that it is worth it. you will need a rebuild soon though.

 

hey josh, i didnt know you new dave. just saw yer post. im bringin my pappy over wednesday to check out the body for me, so expect a call around 4-5ish

 

A rebuild yourself will cost between 700-1000 for the rebuild kits depending on where you get it from. Haynes manual works pretty well, also the FSM is online.
