So I'm hoping to buy a blue K11 Sport on Monday with the CG10DE. My current car is a Subaru Outback 2.5 and due to recent unemployment, I want something to replace it that's super easy to work on, parts cost nothing and I'm not constantly worrying about being financially screwed if anything goes wrong.
Body wise, it's pretty perfect. Front x-member is the only thing that I was slightly worried about, some flakiness and bubbling but not as bad as the others I've looked at and seems to hold up to a good prodding with ease, nothing on sills or arches and I plan to drive on Monday, was just looking for good bodywork for now as I know on these 90's jap cars that's more of an issue than the mechanics.
Anything else I should look out for apart from the obvious clutch / blowing exhaust / rough startup chain issues / steering issues? No service history but timing chain so doesn't worry me too much. Is £600 reasonable for a 2001 reg with 61k on the clock?

Hopefully fun too with a few handling mods!
