Don't buy a broken Surf, unless you're going to break it for spares.

Do you feel lucky Punk?

Sorry went a bit Dirty Harry there!

Buying a non runner is a big gamble, I guess it depends on the price.
If it won't idle it could be something as insignificant as a vacuum hose is split/off - on the other hand it could be the engine is *****d

You could go and look at it and take the AA with you?

If the price is right you could always resell it for spares?
