You will enjoy the car. Welcome to the UBB. No prob with some "stupid questions" as long as ya don't mind seeing some stupid answers once in a while...

Hi, buy a four cylinder mx-3. I had mine with 130k miles on it with not a single problem. She was damn slow, but that's nothing a turbocharger can't fix (if you have the itch). :p

Woo hoo, another mx-3 owner!

naw...you can do a very halfa$$ed ze swap for 1000 bux if you get the motor for 800-900.

Umm no you can't. No way can you find a klze for that much unless it's from a friend. What are the chances of that happening? Price of oil and tranny fluid will be at LEAST 50 bucks. If you don't buy an aftermarket clutch, the Cost of having to remove tranny 3-6 months down the road to replace the OEM clutch will be at least 30, clutch at least 100. That's over 1k right there.
