You should SEARCH. I'd suggest starting with the FAQ and Archive, and Tech Sections. All you questions can be answered here on Zilvia, by SEARCHING, but we aren't going to spoon-feed you.

Thank you and enjoy your stay at Zilvia.net.

Agreed. And until you know more (after searching) stay away from that car.

Now, Barry's advice was sound, but I suggest you learn to spell "suspension" and to properly punctuate your sentences before you worry about overpaying for a car with an engine that is effectively dead.

i bought my car for 600$ with a blown motor. it seemed work it to me since i was planing on SR'ing a 240 anyway. but you can rebuild the ka for say 1500$ with after market internals. which was my first option but i didnt want to put that much money in a SOHC so i am getting a SR. But your deal doesnt sound bad at all.

I seriously tried to read the first post about 20 times, to try to understand it. The only thing I got was a splitting headache and 2 public nudity tickets.

See, the trick is to put your wang under lock and key when reading a post like the one that started this thread... The fact that 2 Moderators posted before the (now forthcoming) lock would be the evidence of this
