This all depends. If you can get it for a couple hundred bucks and you like a challenge you could go for it. I would probably buy a rebuilt engine with a warranty but first do the math and see if the purchase price plus the engine is not higher than the car is worth!

Since this is a turbo you might want to ask the owner if he hopped it up and raised the boost. If so he may have slagged the engine making it nothing but scrap metal.
