Avoid Automatics non service history vehicles check trunk area where rust can be found at the lower corners hood inner lip behind badges and inner front lip pops out of reverse or third gear on manual transmissions - that is a synchromesh problem and can cost the price of the car if the rear end wobbles around the corners then it needs new bushes - not too expensive if the body's nice - head lining sag - not a big deal to replace window winding motors - bad design - "a feature not a fault" good luck, Peter Watson -- Peter W Watson
