Default Need a little help with a trade I may be doing.

Hey guys whats up. I may be working a deal on a trade with my Turbo Cordia. I was offered a 1990 Talon Turbo. There are a few issues with the car and thought maybe you guys could share your thoughts and what it might cost to fix if I should go through with the deal. Here are some problems I noticed with the car.

*When getting on it, the car would pull like hell to one side. its only running about 5 lbs of boost, I cant see torque steer being that bad with so little boost. He states that its a $20.00 bushing that is wore out on the control arm or something like that. Im worried it may be the steering rack. What do you think? Is 5psi stock boost level?

*It has a Greddy BOV, not plumbed back into the system and the top screw is missing, what affect would this cause?

*Hazzard lights work, but the turn signals do not.

*Transmission seems to grind when shiffting. Could it be the master and slave clutch cylinder?

*When tring to start the car, the starter would continue to turn after the key is removed (Only did it once when the guy came to my house to look at my car. He said it does that once in awhile.

I dont mind doing some work, but dont want to end up replacing everything on the car. My Cordia has had everything replaced and runs like a champ. What is a 1990 talon worth? Paint is not very good, interior is in ok shape, AC does not work, has VERY few mods. Is there anything I should know about these cars? Is there a better year to look at? Are parts still easy to get for this car? Any help you guys can provide would be great....
Thanks..

Here is the link to my ad with my mods done to my car:

If he were to fix some of the problems, Do you feel its a deal I should go through with?
Thanks again.....
