Really sorry about the length of that original post ... I'll try to summarize my questions:



1. The shifter feels like there's a lot of play in the neutral area. Is that normal?

2. The gas pedal feels very soft on the top and very firm on the bottom. That normal?

3. The turbo is leaking oil into the engine but will be replaced. Does that sound like it would cause a drop in idle from 700 to 500 (reverse surging?) and almost a stall.

4. Rust on the bottom of the doors, think I can just sand and prime?

5. Peeling paint ... think that means the whole car is ready to peel?



Thanks for your responses!

$5600 U.S. should buy you a near mint car, not one that needs alot of work.[/quote]

$5600 = LOW MILE PERFECT TII!!! eg 40k miles.......[/quote]

Maybe not 40K, but you can easily get into an 89+ TII in good shape for that price.

70K would be a good number to shoot for. Most TII's with less than 40K are probably in a junkyard. :P

I only wish that $7000CND = $5600USD. Unfortunately the general exchange rate from Canadian $ to US $ is about 1.6 depending on your institution.



So that puts the price around $4400USD.



Rob x7, thank you for the advice on the paint. The seller speculated that the entire car would need repainting but it is something that I will bring up with him as something I will be required to do.



Anyone have any comments on the shifter play or the gas pedal non-smooth pressure travel?

vosko 08-11-2002 05:44 PM

shifter play could just be bushings and non smooth pedal travel new throttle cable
