Which one would you get?

The turbo 7M-GTE is an excellent motor. You can really get a lot of HP out of it. It sounds great and if built right is very reliable. The auto with the turbo is not a bad combination really. You can keep your foot in it and not have to worry about missed shifts and that really hurts! When the turbo kicks in there aren't many cars that can keep up, especially for the price you are looking at.

The white car has its problems, but you have to be concerned with problems when ever you buy a used car. You have to be flexible and willing to put up with things until you get used to the car.

I think you are right though about a 2 litre engine being too small for a heavy sports car. The 3.0 7M is much better and better torque.

If the guy won't take a reasonable offer, then you may just have to let it go. There will be other opportunities.

Bought it, gonna start a new tread about it, so anyone who feels like talking about this can go to the new one, which I will title "Finally bought a MKIII!".
