Default Anybody into Honda's

I might be going to look at 1998 Honda Prelude 2.2 VTi with 125k on the clock and i'm just looking for a bit of advice first as i've never owned a Jap car before, apparently the central locking only works off the passenger side, the passenger side electric window doesn't work and there's a bit of rust on the bootlid. What else should I look for and what would it be worth?

As with any VTEC lump, check for any smoke at all, make sure he hasn't warmed it up before hand.

Good cars and very reliable but my god they drink fuel. I had one about 5 yrs back and only after 3 weeks of use it was sold because of the drink problem it had. I even got the car checked out to see why it was so thirsty but there was no faults at all with it so i took it as the car had a drink problem.
