Buying a AW11
 
hi i've been looking at later model AW11
besides the common occurrences
-leaking tops
-minor rust in the back rear wheels/bumper area

I don't really mind either

I'm interested in a supercharged model, nething special to look out for?

I wouldn't mind PM or just post in this thread, I don't check very often though. so a PM might be better.

The biggest problem is rust. After that there's not a whole heck of a lot. It's common on early cars to have worn transmission synchros, but the SC models run a beefier transmission like the later turbos.

Are SWs any better in terms of problems?

They have different problems, mostly related to the owners. Also look for blown turbos, and seized calipers/e-brake cables.

I've had an NA version of AW11 for a bit.

the exhaust fell off in about 5 days because it was severely rusted. but oh well, what can you expect from an old car right?
