To Buy Or Not To Buy

Definetely check the turbo for shaft play. Could be the turbo's on it's way out.

if there is no shaft play or bent fins, etc. then the oil could be coming from the head. In which you'd have to rebuild that to some extent.

Syncro's are cheap enough - or you could just save a grand and ship it to Shep for him to rebuild.


92 lasers are the lightest of all years. Plus being it's AWD 5psd there wasn't that many made, let alone still driving on the streets. So that's a plus.

is the fender paint matched to the rest of the car? if not you'd have to pay for paint.

Figure:
-$1000 shep tranny
-$50 fender (what I sold mine for)
-$150 - Door
-$150+ for new turbo depending on what you go with
-$500 Head rebuilt
-$800 to fix rear quarter damage if it isn't to bad.


Honestly you get what you pay for. If it was me I'd start with a car with a clean/perfect body. Then go from there. Everything else is easy enough to fix/Change out.
