$1500 for Car
$800 Replaced Head Gasket (Fingers-crossed for rest of engine)
$2500+ for professional repaint (not an immediate concern)
$80, DIY re-paint of the SPG Panels
$1200 for professionally installed new top
$600-800 for new Leather for front seats
$500+ new Turbo
By my eye, your looking at about $5000 for car and required rapairs with an eventual $2500+ for a repaint and questionable Automatic Transmission. You never mentioned how many miles she has on her. Look out for the lower A-arms cracking near the frame mounts and listen closs for tell-tale inner driver noises.
Within 2-3 months you'll see at least 2 more SiS's advertised on TSN for ~$6,000 in a lot better condition and perhaps with the more desirable 5-spd. It's a toss-up. You'd be buying a headache, but when your finished, you'd know exactly what's in her. If you'd prefer to own a 5-spd, I'd hold out for one. If I didn't already own mine, I'd be all over that $12,000 SiS with 42K miles in the TSN Classifieds but not as a daily driver. You'd really have something there.
Best of luck with your decision.
