I took a look at a 94 sc 5 speed today that needs some tlc and I was wondering what you guys think of it. The pros are it has a flowmaster dual exhaust with an h pipe and a complete sound system. There are some problems though. The boost gauge doesn't read but the car feels like it is getting boost. The interior has panels that are coming off and is worn. It has sat for close to two years. It has a cel on for an unknown reason and gets a little warm after a while but has clean oil and coolant probably a thermostat. It has a bit of a studded when acceletating. The paint looks decent for its age. It smokes from the back of the engine white smoke. Its not that bad but its there. He wants 1500 for it what do you think is fair. It is also salvage title.
 
Sounds to me like it has a blown head gasket or cracked head. Thus the stumble and white smoke. Wouldn't hurt to look under the oil cap and see if there is any kind of foam on it. I'll almost bet it has fresh oil in it.
Boost gauge isn't anything to worry too much about.
