Well I've taken the plunge and it looks like the #8 problem isn't an issue since it's the non-turbo model. After doing a lot of research I found that it's also easier to work on so I bought the service manual and printed out all 1100 pages! At work of course! I've also got the 600 pages of the parts manual too!
Right now it's only an hour from me and the agency which imported it for me is doing the safety and emission tests for me. I'm hoping to get it this week but with our holiday up here I've lost a day already!!
I also got the records from AM general and the previous owners seemed to have warranty work done through dealerships. It's also been in Arkansas all this time. Once I get it then next step will be to install my A/V stereo I pulled out of my other car.
I should get some more pics this morning too!!
