Buying a 94' VR4 Tomorrow. I have a couple questions....
In August 2011, I sold my 94 SL and bought a 2005 Grand Prix GXP. I have missed the 3k ever since and have recently came across a 94 VR4 for a decent price. Problem is the owner things the engine is blown. Upon further review over the phone it appears to me to be the lifters. He said it started after changing the oil. He started the car and after that it was making the noise. He said it does not get much louder as the car revs but that the noise sticks through the whole time. Oil pressure is great, the car is still making good boost and the car gets up to temp fine. He also says the car runs and drives okay.
My question is.....what do you think it would be with those things being the case?
It has 123k miles.
Thanks Guys
