Might Get a Turbo 2

Hi people, i just got a great offer for a turbo2 35 minutes away from where i live.
its 3,500, the condition is 70,000 miles on body with a j-spec motor swap not long ago!!! thats a killer deal!! but i got no money for it!! the pictures show it to be a very clean car too. i'll still try to find a way to get it.

Hm, well I would just go for a stock TII, but that's just personal opinion.

But to each his own.

well, the pictures are the ones he posted up on green bay craigslist.
just type in rx7 on the cars/trucks.
well, i visited him, and the brakes NEED bleeding.
it feels like there is no brakes! but he says its just bleading.
he wouldnt really let us drive it around, it was dangerous to, i rolled it up and down a little.
i got it lowered to $3k...
do you guys think it sounds too suspicious?? he has a rx-4, a wagon rotory, and a convertable n/a...all very clean..
also, i hear a knocking noise when he turned left when he drove the car ( i was on passanger).
what could that be?? is dosnt sound like metal to metal..suspension? steering rack??

Don't buy Lemons unless you are making lemonade.
Sounds like if you can't afford the car, then you probably can't afford to repair the car either. Might not be a good decision to buy a car in need of repair when money is tight. Just my opinion, I would probably buy it anyways if I was in the same position. :o)
