If you were to buy a cheap s2k with engine troubles and spend 5k on a rebuild, would it not have been wiser to just spend the extra money on a good s2k to begin with?

Yeah definitely, just weighing my options at the moment. I've been bringing in s2k's to workshops only to look at crappy comp's, even though the body's straight.

Highest were 215, lowest was 190 for a 122,xxx km one way past 5% differences. Currently about to check a 100,xxx hopefully I'll get better results.
To get a low km's 70,xxx k's could cost $22,000 and up and compression may not even be close to perfect. In contrast, I could get a cheap $15,000 one, use the engine until it fails and rebuild it, giving me a brand new engine. But this is assuming both chassis are straight etc., and the only difference are engine comp's.
So far it's difficult to find an S with decent engine comps, most of them have been flogged, burning oil etc. I haven't seen a bent chassis as of yet, regardless of mileage.
