for 3700, you can buy an FC that runs perfect! I just bought my third FC (first TII) for $2000, in mint condition with 70,000 miles. If I were you, Id keep looking. That one may just need a new computer, but then again, the engine could be in need of MUCH more...

if it idles at/around 750, thats the correct idle, it does sound like its about to stall

and that price is a little tall, talk him down
