If your state requires a smog test make sure it passes before you buy. The catalytic converter is expensive, like $400 to $500 or more. Your gas mileage will be worse. Two reasons, you will enjoy the right pedal more and the turbo just gets worse mileage in general. If it has a water cooled turbo and the PO has taken care if it it will probably be OK. The injector seals dry out a lot on the turbos, not too hard to replace though. All said i love the 240 turbos and own a 2 door now.
