It does depend on whether it's N/A or turbo. If it's a 2nd or 3rd gen turbo, I'd be VERY wary of it. Ask for ALL service records, ask if he ever raced it (professionally or otherwise), take it for a test drive. Also, ask if it's the original engine. If it is, be EXTREMELY cautious in your decision. Or, have 4 grand laying around so you can get a new engine and have it installed when that one goes. Again, that is if it's a turbo. Especially the 3rd gen. Those were notorious for not holding up. If it's N/A, again use some caution in your decision, but if it's been taken care of, you'll be fine.
