Bought mine last Fall completely ignorant of Viggen-specific watch-outs. Very happy with it. Still learning, but one thing that comes to mind is the brake discs. These cars tend to be hard on them with the original pads. Check condition of the rotors; if worn significantly you should assume they need replace because they're too thin originally to allow them be machined--so that's a bargaining chip also. Test drive it and after warmed up floor it a few times in 3rd, 4th, 5th to see if boost gauge will reach top of yellow zone. Don't worry if it stays out of the red, seems to be typical, but should top out the yellow. Other than that, the usual very careful paint check at all angles & light, yada, yada. Have fun!
