I've spent a very long time trying to find a turbo 2 in the north west that is dead and has a fairly straight body. Where do you guys that pick them up usually find them?? I want a car that needs a bit of work but is not a huge price (I'd pay probably somewhere on the order of 1500 for one with a dead motor and decent body for s4, more for s5)

 

got mine for 700. hail damage. =\

 

found mine from my friend of almost a year and got it for a grand total of 300 bucks.

It needs a lot of working on it and sleepless bloody handed nights but hey I love this.

Nice deal 87. yeah, I've been asking on forums, watching papers and what not and I just don't see them for anything around 1k-1.5k One of the guys on the forum picked one up that fit my description that fell in his lap and he lives in my area though. :-/

 

There were a couple fixer TIIs on Ebay just recently. But they were far away Oregon.

 

Guy locally is getting rid of his. No block, but a garett turbo kit, haltec, and a long list of others. Asking $3500... well worth it.

 

Sounds like a good deal, but it's far away :-/

 

Zjbarra, if you want to make the drive come to Colorado I can find them all day and night for that price. I know of a 89 s5 TII with 104k with a blown motor on it. he is asking $1000.00 for it. it used to be my buddys old car. TRUST me you can find them all night and day around here.

 

God, I would really like the s5. Might consider that one, could you PM me some pics or email me at zjbarra@hotmail.com?

 

If it's a really good deal and what I want, I'd go that far, otherwise I'm probably just going semi local, within 500 miles

 

found mine real randomly. at a shady used car place in the ghetto. way in the back, had not moved in a long time. I checked it out, told them engine was bad and got a good deal on it

 

This the one Bob found in Albany 700$ a blown fuse , bad plugs , and the air thingee not hooked up to the air flow meter

 

You got it cheap because the wheels are backwards! That's a lot of work.
lol j/k

 

I found an 86 that was kinda similar to gambone's. I found it at a Mazda dealership back when I was looking for my car. I asked the guy if I could crank it up, but he told me it wouldnt start because the engine was dead. When I tried to crank it, the engine was flooded. I could have gotten it for cheap, but I wasn't going to get an NA unless it had a lot of mods. And at least his wheels are facing the same direction, mine are different.

 

yeah I wasn't a fan of that one gambone, it had some other stuff that worried me a lot with it.

 

I got mine for $100... Right place at the right time. It worked almost perfect, body nice and straight...

 

Zjbarra, I can find out the guys tel# and I will e-mail it to U. Its not my friends any more but I know where the guy lives. Its a blaze red with black interior etc.... my friend bought it with 42k org miles on it and sold it with 102k on it then the motor dies at 104k. it might be a week or so till I e-mail you. I will try sooner.

 

I bought a fliped 87 TII with a street port, full suspension, lt weight fly wheel, and manny racingbeat goodies for $800, off a friend of a friend. Sold all the rest of the stock stuff I didnt want or need for my TII swap and got my money back! There out there you just have to wait for the right car to come along

 

I used newspaperlinks.com and searched every Sunday paper in a 500 miles radius till I found one in Oregon, about 400 miles away .. called the guy, made an offer, got a uhaul and brought it down.

Check the for sale section on this forum, i see them all the time.

 

They don't really pop up very close to here is the problem :-/

 

What kind of paint job is that? midnight blue? It goes to a lighter blue down near the sideskirts....
damn sweet.

 

i was at work when my bro called me because he just drove by a TII in some neighborhood with a for sale sign on it. it's been sitting for a year and only wanted $1000... runs a little ruff but i been replacing parts left n right to get it better condition....

 

That car is a black paint job with a blue fade at the bottom. The paint job is kinda cool, I liked it.

 

Got mine with 93k for $600, was supposed to be a blown engine but turned out to be a dead battery and a stuck/loose AFM.... found it online at craigslist.com, or something like that... :P
