Brought a Lemon..., What else can go wrong? Options

[tiny]

I have been a st205 owner for just over a week now... and its not been pretty.

Stage one, fix the clunk in the suspension - bottom arms needed replacing + wheel alignment = $980
Stage two, sort out the perished intake - this worked out ok and managed to scam some written off intake pipe from another kit to bodgy something together as a mid term soltion.
Stage foura good one, knock sensor need replacig from what i can tell... getting code 52 with diagnostic check. Is this a common issue? What else can go wrong? I am hanging out to get this thing running without being in 'limp mode'. Oh and thanks to Manawatu Toyota for a grat price on a new KS.

I upgraded (or is that a down grade?) from a JZX100 Mark II. Toyotas are suppose to be bullet proof and already I have dumped around $1500 into it in just 7 days...

And to top it off someones Nana decided giving way is for suckers... car is off to the shop this week to get some panel and paint.

Sweet as man.

Nice part of the country.

Yea i wouldn't call it a lemon. maybe a dog.

Once you get it running good i believe you will be very happy with it.

It always pays to get a pre-purchase inspection done.

Yeap, shouldnt have rushed into it or at least done some more research - thought it was an ok deal ($5k) and it just needed a bit of time and some minor jobs... to top i off it looks like i got a leaking water pump or something around there now.
I once owned a Rover Tomcat, a few painfull memories of that thing came flooding back...

They have a pretty fierce rep from what i have heard so looking forward to getting it straight and going for a decent fang.

Anyway, off on holiday for a couple of weeks so this can just wait till I return!
