1989 Standerd (Manual) 174 000 km, Knock On Engine, Leak In Hatch (Easy Fix)

- New Tires - New Racing Clutch - No Rust Air Care Expired April 2007

( Must Sell )

I emailed him he responded

"My Friend Had No Problems With The Car. Engine Will Last At Least A Year
Maybe 600+ To Fix, 1500 For New Engine. I Think It Is A Loose Piston.
Thanks For Your Time"

Loose piston? i don't think it is it just seems like he doesn't know anything about cars. its non turbo 7M-GT engine doesn't sound like the headgasket has ever blown but..

its $500, is it worth buying? making an offer of $300? At best it could be something simple and easy to fix but at the worst the headgasket could be blown and the rods knocking.

i just want a reliable standard tranny car with some power. maybe its worth buying a 91 JDM supra for $5000 cdn and not have to worry about the BHG issues. I'm also thinking of a toyota 4runner for about 5 grand with the 22RE engine but comme on a 4 banger? thats so not fun!!
