RE: FS: '87 4kq Turbo

["TM" <mizutanit@mindspring.com>]

Damn,
If I could have found a cherry '87 5ktq for $3750, I would have bought it
in an instant! With only 100k miles? Yeah, right. I don't think they exist.

But I have to agree with Chris, there is no way that a Frankenstein 4ktq
is worth $7500. No way. You have to be crazy to buy a car like that. Is
there a documented conversion history? All procedures written down and
photographed? Reputable mechanic did the conversion, or some hack? Did
the owner do it himself? What parts were used?

Problem with buying a car with an engine transplant is that you don't
necessarily know who did the conversion, how well it was done and if there
are any problems with the conversion. I'd rather spend the $7500 on a
200tq in really mint condition with full service history and one owner or
maybe two. Or I'd buy a 4kq and a 5ktq and have plenty of money left over
to fix both cars. Or buy a 5ktq and make it into a 300hp monster.

I like the 4kqs, but they're too small, IMHO. I'd take a Type 89 Avant,
though, if one was offered in the States.
