oh where to begin????????

rust!!!!!!!!! on the sills, battery tray, rear arches, floor, rear chassis legs, rear suspension arms, a pillars and around wind screen. and on the roof (all turbos have a sunroof, make sure it works!)

check all of the pannels gaps and the weld on the front wings, turrets and slam panel for damage or repair.

check all of the wheels sit right in the arches (ie not to much camber)

check for play on the turbo shaft, look for smoke on cold start indicating worn valve stem seals, smoke when baking of (shagged turbo ) and smoke in general (head gasket) look for over heating, oil leaks, loud rattiling. should come on boost at around 3000 rpm, make sure it drives smothly without hesitation, backfireing.

find out all modifications and that they have been done proffesionally.

listen for whining from gearbox.

check general condition of vehical as some parts (especxially interior trim are hrd to replace).

if in doubt, just walk away as there are plenty of them around
