Do you think I should buy this car? it's $2400, but I think I can get it down to 2250...

Looks good from the pics. how does it run? if good, sounds like a descent deal to me... Though, I've owned both N/A and turbo and I prefer the turbo model.

I can always put a turbo on it later... makes insurance cheaper. and it's actually a 92.

You CAN put a turbo on it later, but the 5sfe head is an "economy " head and not built to handle a turbo. It doesn't have the neccessary water passages for proper cooling of the head to compensate for the additional heat. It will cost you more than what you're paying for the car to turbo charge it! Besides the turbo kit you will also need some type of engine management .
And what you want to do with insurance is illegal....

Good luck and have fun with your new 2!

I might just do a swap to it later... but it pulls enough as is, but thanks for the info
