Troy, what are you waiting upon? That's a MK2 MR2 at a great price. Surely the 5S motor won't suffer the same fate as the 4AG? Especially if you resist the call to run a turbo...

That man has courage or stupidity. In Lemons is there a difference?
It was the fuel pump in the Suburban. It was dying a slow death and the first symptoms were that it would fail to supply enough fuel when the engine was under a heavier load, like climbing hills while pulling a donor car. Strickland Chevrolet in Pearland got me fixed first thing on Monday morning. I promised the mechanic 2 cases of beer if he could get me out by early afternoon and, lo and behold, the job was done before 3:00 that afternoon Plus he races mini-sprint cars, so we talked racing for awhile too.
And the answer is clearly stupidity. Pure, uncompromised stupidity.
Cheers guys.
