Now that is a rare color. I think there were only 13 imported in 2000 to North America!

i need someone to go through all the pain I have gone through with mine! When you say lots of oil leaks, when was the last time the PCV system was serviced? That will cause many of the leaks along with the oil pipes to the turbo. None of the parts are hugely expensive, but the labor time is the big part.
When I bought mine many years ago, all the seals were supposed to have been done on the engine. Problem was the guy had used aftermarket seals and not a lot of skill. Shortly after buying it all the seals started to go starting with the rear main seal. At that time I did not have the tools to do this type of repair. I took it to the dealer along with a couple of boxes of parts. They swapped the front and rear main seals, cam seals and as it was out I had the transmission main seals done as well as the angle gear seals. The labor charge even at that time was the biggest part of the work. For the most part since then that part of the car has been mostly good.
I really hope this goes to someone with the ability to do the seals themselves. The body damage looks not too bad with a fender and windshield.
Good luck with the sale.
