Rust, service history.
Signs of ragging.

Don't be afraid to have a good snoop, end of the day you'll have the car for a while don't want to find problems afterwards.


Put a turbo on it.

Just the usual, make sure all the join lines are neat, no signs of ragging, rust, any different parts in area such as the Bonnet (Signs are like a different coloured Slam Panel.

Make sure you do a hpi check, you do not what to buy a cat c or cat d.

Check the inside of the boot for accident damage, they tend to crease or crack

[Bickerton]

Have a good test drive and make sure the car gets up to temp before you turn it off, thats when alot of things start to piss about

Check everything, central locking, check the seal on windscreen, rust on the wheel arches, general look of the engine bay to see how well its been looked after, obviously how it feels to drive and anything else you can think of
