Look for rust in the boot, foot wells as the soundproofing in them tend to hold water, wings, sills, front panel, just everywhere lol

There's a drain pipe that runs from the sunroof down into the sills. These get blocked up over time and then the water just sits in the sunroof area and rots the roof..

If it's not rusty then get it.. They are simple enough and parts a plenty so any minor mechanical issues can be easily sorted..

2p..

as said above check the boot, around the sunroof and the pipes coming from the sunroof theres 1 at the front of the sill and 1 at the back on both sides of the car... check inner wings, outer wings, arches, a pillar all sills check the chassis legs as they rot like a f%cker floor and just general body panel mate as there hard to get now and abit on the costy side too.... so basically thats check the whole car lol
