Hi Peachey welcome to the forum. Once you factor in cambelt change, cracked manifold and dodgy bodywork (what's the deal with the stickers on the damaged rear 3/4 panel??) it doesn't look like much of a bargain anymore. On the positive side it is the best colour

Honestly time! If your going to struggle to find the 1.5-2k needed for the coupe, then struggle with the insurance don't buy one would be the best advice I can offer. For the most part there solid reliable cars BUT there not cheep to fix or service. I could go on for pages but Im just going to point you to a wonderful post written by our own Neil http://www.fiatcoupeclub.org/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=931827#Post931827

The green one was previous listed saying it had a blown turbo, which it no longer says, so its either fixed or they forgot to mention it again

I guess it depends why you want a Coupe?
If insurance is an issue perhaps opt for a 16V NA?

Whatever you get.......take someone with you because if you don't, you will overlook all the faults,if there are any and just buy it. Made that mistake before before with an MR2 Turbo. Beautiful looking car but a dog I found out later. Paul

If the cambelt was done at 64K, then it'll be ready for another (if you mean the one two or three posts upward).
Check the clutch, turbo, wishbones and CV joints. Look at the oil colour, check the oil cooler and pipes, look for accident damage front and rear (front cross member & rear where the spare wheel sits)
There is also a how to on buying a coop.

Gold wheels, after having a good look at the photo's, i kinda think the wheels suit the green !...Nice little touch with the filler cap as well!.........seems a fine car (if the description is genuine!)
However, i aint to keen on the scotts green !! personal opinion.
