possible head gasket leaking

If it is very tidy in all other respects, I would definately consider it, but make sure it is otherwise top condition. Those 4AGZE's have about a zillion aftermarket parts so you won't have any hassles, and chances are you could fix it up very nicely yourself. Be warned, (well Im sure you have already figured it out though) that there isn't much room to work with :P

Thinking back, the original one I had 15 years ago had cooling system issues, thanks to neglect from the previous owner. the coolant pipes run from the front under the car back to where the engine is, these pipes on mine were clogged up and full of rusty crap, it had a leaky head gasket also but I wrote the car off before I had to bother fixing it.

I still hold the ones Ive owned in the past as some of the most enjoyable cars I've ever driven. Great loads of fun.
Hmmmmmmmmmm yes well you have a point ,maybe its time for a MX5 !

Prone to this issue. They do need the antifreeze changed regularly to avoid corrosion in engine resultingin head gasket problems.

An MX5 is a better handling car for sure, if you can live with the hairdresser image its a good option, was a nice wee turbocharged one for sale on here recently.
