Is this MKIV worth to buy? Got carfax report

[Tedor]

I have been looking at buying this car with overpressure in the cooling system.
Here is the car fax report: http://www.carfax.se/show-report/f06...5ea496e4bf83ba

I know the car is worth nothing in the US but it is in sweden where I live.

It's a LHD TT Targa 6 speed 1998 with 60k or 100k miles on it.

He is asking 145 000 swedish kronor which is 20k dollars

Thanks
Best Regards Fredrik Sweden

1) I'm 100% certain that this car would not be "worth nothing in the US". It's an Mkiv Supra Turbo - a very rare, imported high performance GT sportscar. The same way a Porsche or Ferrari with a mechanical issue would not be "worth nothing", neither would this vehicle.

2) With 82k miles (12k ~'BPU'), $20k USD seems quite high, given the mechanical issue. Until I know more (eg. compression/leakdown numbers for each cylinder, etc.), there's no way I can estimate how expensive the problem will be to fix.

3) The scoop on the hood was a factory-availble option in EU.

4) The 6spd conversion is very pricey. Are you sure you want to do this?
