what did you pay for your mk3?

But I am getting near the end of my patience with this thing. If the compression checks out I am not going to know what to do.

I payed $20K for my 86.5 SR/SS 5 speed in August of 86. I had 103 miles because they drove it in from another dealer.

What do you guys think of a 91 mk3 turbo targa top 5spd everything in excellent condition, motor is fine, interior is great, tranny is fine, 80k original miles, only damage is the scuff and hole in the front bumper and a small ding behind the drive side door for $3,200?

As long as there's no rust, the head gasket is not shot, clean title, and no major body damage, $3,200 sounds like a really good deal. Take it from somebody who was on the market for many months before buying one.

Thanks I plan on setting up an appointment with a Toyota dealer near the area and have them check it out.

I call that a super deal. Just get the engine looked at closely.. everything else is age/wear and tear. Plus.. it all depends on your plans for the car.

Make sure you put your hands down the rear quarter panels (there are access panels in the hatch area) and check the condition of the metal along the wheel wells and inside the quarter panels. Dirt+Water = rust holes which will eventually pop off the quarters if not given attention asap. Water can also come in via the brake light seals and hatch seal, but that usually lands up in the spare tire well (which you need to see WITHOUT the spare tire). A bit of blue from a cold engine start can mean a simple valve seal shrinkage which is common for the 7M engine.. and normally I wouldn't say this, but I have had 3 gas tanks leak so far, so it would be nice to see it with at least 65% fuel in the tank.

3200 is a good buy if the car is fairly straight and runs nice. Its repairs which can kill you financially depending on your level of expertise.

Good luck!
