The interior is rough. I agree the low price suggests problems. That engine is kissin cousins to the engine in the gullwings but perhaps may have an aluminum block. Getting anything fixed on the suspension or motor might get pricey but the motor should be (if sound) fairly reliable. Of course it has mechanical injection very similar to our diesels.
