On the contrary.. I think it's a VERY reasonable amount for a sprinter...
This one would definitely get you an AUS SPEC sprinter in fantastic condition... and some money left over...
It will also get you a lightly modified sprinter with a 100 kwater..
however, sprinter is not the be all and end all..
For that money, it depends on what you want in a car.. Old school, or a new car maybe.
My suggestion would a TA22, or sprinter.. Maybe even a clean series 3 rx7.
rock on.

You'd be hard pressed to find a 'good cond.' MZ20 Soarer. They hold their value well, because there are bugger all of them around (in NSW esp.). If you want a cheapish one, look in QLD or VIC.

I think they make about 88kW by memory. Bit more torquey than the 86kW 4AGE but don't rev as good, run out of breath at about 5G.
