Mostly rust :wink: As little as possible would be good!

Also a lot of the trim is no longer available so make sure it's all there and in good shape. The electronics (voice synth etc) can be a nightmare to fix if it's not working.

Mostly the same points as the atmo you already have.

Engine should be but look out for overheating, headgasket problems and smoky turbo.
