If you like the car and are somewhat serious, get a full PPI from a shop that you trust. Be sure to ask for a diagnosis and estimate to correct the CEL as part of the PPI (even if they want to charge a little extra for the CEL diagnosis, it will be well worth the money).

This way, you'll know exactly what you're getting into and know what the issues are along with the costs to address them.

With that said, it looks like a great car and at that price you won't be able to beat the fun per dollar with any other car!

You took the words right from my mouth Thstone. For the money if it ends up lasting a couple years it'll be worth it for sure. That's why I'm willing to see what it would need. Cost of enjoyment could be super low. We'll see.

no-name MAF's are $25, Bosche MAF's are $150.
And they are pretty easy to replace. I think the car looks great and with the IMS bearing already replaced, you have eliminated that concern.
