I'm looking at buying this car> http://spokane.craigslist.org/car/145423145.html

I've been looking for a Rex for 6 or 7 months and just found it a couple weeks ago. No rust, drives great, small dent on the roof and a small ding on the drivers side, thats it. Cracked taillight but its not bad, doesn't leak. Theres a tear in the drivers seat. It has a y8 minime swap in it with a 6 something clutch(Can't remember the term). I'm going to be doing a motor swap this summer on it. The drivers axle is new. Car has 175k engine has 90k. I was on the verge of buying it but when I took it to my mechanic I found out the emissions level was 6 times higher than legal(Getting too much fuel). So I said no deal unless she fixed it. She had her friend at Honda take a look at it and he said the the problem was the cat, fuel injectors, and o2 sensor. I just got an email back after telling her to let me know when its fixed, and she said she can't afford to fix it so either I buy it as it is, or no deal.


I'm really torn on what to do. Get the car I love and want but risk it still no passing emissions with that stuff fixed, or leave it and risk not getting a rex at all.
