I just got back from driving it. It's mine, as soon as the title gets back from the state. I didn't front any money, but we have a verbal agreement.
The young woman who's selling it had a baby 5 weeks ago. Her fiance, who is a citizen of Panama, bought the car (and a bunch of parts for it) 4 weeks ago and put it in her name. Two weeks ago he went to jail. Mom and the baby are moving back in with grandma. Any money she can raise goes to get him out of jail.
This car has the sport package; a computer control suspension (bummer) and a limited slip differential (yay). It hasn't been driven hard, because the normally aspirated motor only makes 200hp, and the car weighs 3,600 lbs. It runs fine, it's just not as fast as it looks.
It will make a perfect back up vehicle to replace my Metro. The fact my head hits the ceiling will motivate to drive my other car. The power seats work, but the lowest setting isn't low enough. The rubber band tires are like rocks. I drove it in the 'loose' mode on the suspension, sort of a weird combo with the rigid tires.
Parts aren't any more expensive than a domestic car, except there's a lot of them in the rear end. It has an IRS, with a cast and finned center section. Awesome stuff, like an old XKE.
Rodger that on the timing belt. It's a non-interference motor, even though it's 24v DOHC.
