you can pick up a coil pack at a junk yard for $50. If that is all this needs to run then I would think the guy would have replaced it. If it doesn't start you might have to replace the whole engine as you really shouldn't believe someone selling a car this old.

In my High school days, The turbo Buick & it's Black painted GN sister car were hot, state of the art cars in 1984-1988. The car is a good choice & price. Visit these sites to study up on the car. http://www.turbobuick.com/ http://turbobuickperformance.com/ http://buickturboperformance.com/ http://www.vortexbuicks-etc.com/ http://www.gnttype.org/vendors/index.html

Waste is right. You at least hear it run for that price! How do you know the turbo is not puking oil down the intake and is fouling out the plugs? That's what I'd worry about. Even with good compression, the turbo is going to cost almost as much as a rebuilt motor.

It's an old car, expect to pour some cash into it. However, once the problems are fixed it should be a reliable and a joy to drive. Just respect the fact, that it's old.
