Thanks, Tim. It just is fun to drive.... and the (initial) price is less than a Subaru.

BTW - the local shop says they don't see many turbo problems here.

I don't think I can comment on the procedure for checking the level of the trans fluid - it would just come out as all ****.

I do plan on letting a shop deal with all long-term maint. if I get it, as I have plenty of projects to deal with right now...
