These are fun cars to have, but require a lot of attention, and refering to what has been mentioned, will make you into a mechanic. I bought my 83' in 1999 with 182k mils and have done a lot of work over the years to keep it up and going, but in the end it's much less expensive than making a monthly car payment. Turbo models are similiar to N\A models in many ways, but are much more complicated in many ways as well. The car itself is not overly complicated, and when you figure out how to keep it happy, it will keep you happy as they are much more fun to drive. It's a night and day difference from driving my mom's 81 244 DL.

Good luck,
