I like to say, that I'm bless to be in here. Now the asking begins, OK here's my story, I was shopping around on Ebay for a Supra MK3 and i have come across some with bent valves, now after seeing those i saw a MK3 with 155.xxx miles on it for 1,800 and it said it ran and needed a lifter job done to it and it had no key. So i called up the guy and said I'll buy it for that much we made a agreement on it and the deal was on. I came down to pick up the car and before that i called a transporter to ship the car to me. To my surprise (ha ha) the wheels locked up and the shipper call up is boss and called me to see if i wanted to let them play around with it to get it unlocked, now what i knew was he had been playing around with it before i gave him to do so. So I'm STILL here in IL, after 5 days waiting on the part for the Lock cylinder that he messed up by putting a screwdriver in it. I checked the oil and it was almost bone dry and the owner said that he started it up 2 month's ago and it ran with a tapping sound. Now i don't know what to happen when i turn on the car can anyone help me????

Thank you,
