Anyone with Mitsubishi 3000GT experience?

[alamostation]

Even though I need another car like a hole in my head, I may be taking on a 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT. Due to my daughter being laid off this week, and her subsequent loss of storage, she is looking to sell her project car. I hate to see her lose it, so I'm thinking of buying it myself so she can get it back later.

I have not seen the car in person, just photos. It features everything I hate in a car: front wheel drive, expensive and hard to find parts, a home mechanic unfriendly design and a reputation for gremlins.

Known problems: driver's side window regulator is broken, the overdrive on the automatic transmission doesn't kick in, it stalls at idle (i hope it can be fixed by changing spark plugs which involves removing the intake manifold instead of the MAF sensor which costs $219) and it needs at least one new tire immediately (high dollar 225/65/16).

Bright side: For $800 she got a rust-free Oklahoma car with a nice interior, good paint, good suspension, good brakes, an engine that runs well with throttle and will pass state inspection here in Texas.

For you with experience here's my question: Is this going to be a $1000 to $2000 fix to a car that when fixed Blue Books for around $4000 or am I looking at a total moneypit?

What problems should I look for that are not obvious to a 23 year old with limited mechanical experience?

Should I take this on or tell her to try to sell it for $1000 and make a profit?
