Pitch me fifty for gas & have a couple hotties around I can flirt with, I'll come up with my scanner & we'll look her over. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Big on the list would be condition of timing belt. Is it stock or modded? Look at the ecu caps leaking sticky in the newbies section. Does the trans shift smoothly, check the bottom of the doors for rust, also check the trunk under the mats and the rockers under the side cladding.

How many miles? Has a compression test been run ect...

Price vs Condition is a big factor. Most issues with these cars can be dealt with but ultimately depends on price.

Check for rust but if it's a original Cali car that may not be a problem. A check engine light can be just about anything. Even a faulty 02. Are you looking at a particular car at the time or just looking?

I'd say you take SouthCali's offer if you have one in mind. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
