Okay, so I found a decent Ty for sale, but it's got a few issues that concern me. What do you think of this Ty? All work was done by a speed shop. A few Jiffy Lube oil changes... Yikes! 
1. A high flow fuel pump - in the engine compartment - which is very noisy. Why not just replace the in-tank pump?
2. High beams do not work, apparently the turn signal stalk was replaced with some other GMC stalk?
3. Runs at 10psi boost, idles kind of rough, but runs fine otherwise
4. Minor interior cosmetic issues (damaged carpet, shift boot burned, rear seat ripped at top)
5. 106k miles, 25k on rebuild of the original engine with roller cams and unknown internals. Exhaust gasket leak is very apparent, using (custom?) stainless headers, they are one-piece flange that mount to the head (as opposed to each cylinder having it's own flange to prevent warping/breakage.) He said the stock headers cracked (The cast headers cracked? That's unusual, right?)
6. Drives smooth, brakes straight, everything else works.
7. Chipped with ATR
8. Upgraded I/C and I/C heat exchanger
9. Bell RRFPR
10. Manual boost controller
11. Stock rims, decent tires, new paint, body is straight, a little surface rust on the door hinges and that area.
12. No obvious damage from a wreck, clean CarFax report.
13. 3" custom exhaust, smogged
14. Was parked for 1-2 years and not used. Any problems with that?
15. Tranny rebuilt at about 80k miles.
16. Regular maintenance, Mobil 1, new brakes, usual tune-up stuff, etc.
Everything else is stock. The guy wants $20k. Is this a good deal? From what I can tell he's asking a bit too much. Several other people have walked on him already...
If you can give me a heads up I'd be really appreciative. The next closest one for me is like 1 10 hour drive, and if this seems decent, I'll probably pick it up this weekend.
Thanks!
