Im in texas, and had one traided to me for my broke down 89 drop top(had to push it up into his driveway becouse it wouldnt go in to gear) I think these birds rock and cant for the life of me figure out why no one wants them, after riding in mine for a few months my wife now wants one
No, the general public is scared to death of turbos...my dad is a perfect example.
When I was in high school I actually wanted a Turbo Coupe...I loved the bodystyle, didn't know much about the turbo 2.3L at the time. My dad wouldn't let me get one because he said "the turbo will go out and it'll cost a fortune to fix." Guess he doesn't know you can get used turbos for $200. And I think that is the general opinion...people think if it has a turbo, and the turbo goes out, it costs $1000 to fix for some reason...

thats because everytime people have a problem they take it back to the STEALSHIP!! heck even most of the mom and pop repair shop are geting just as bad.....i was at a repair shop the other day geting some quotes(just cause im lazy) and he was telling a guy on the phone it was gonna be 550$ to put in a fuel pump...im assuming that was the cost of a new one also...still damn expensive.
