Mostly the usual--brakes, steering rack (check the power steering fluid), drivers/wheel bearings. If air conditioning is important to you, the 85 turbo uses a very expensive hose that seems to be unique to that year--very pricey.
Check the heat shield, and you might take time to pull the carpet up to look at the wiring there--has been known to melt.
I've not had a great deal of problems
with mine--picked it up with 120K on it, now has about 190K
