MKII 86 - what am i getting into?

[BUTRFLYNLAMBIE]

I may put an offer in on a MKII 86 manual. It has over 200k.

I am looking to fix up, but I don't know if these engines can be reconditioned to a degree of reliability. I know next to nothing about the car other than what the seller has emailed me.

Can you purchase the same or similar engine in "new status" that will fit without substantial effort? (no cutting of mounts or welding)

How much would you expect for a replacement engine?

What usually falls apart and needs mechanical fixing at 200k?

when searching ran into this 1995

Found it on an exporting auction site, but don't see how someone from the states would put in for the car. Googling the VIN you will see several hits where at one time is was posted for sale in 2006 and then on ebay as recently as june. Looks like someone monkeyed with it and ran into trouble with money. Auction is 11.3 so good luck if it's of interest to you.
