Just remember you will be buying an older car and you will have to look for telltale signs for a well cared for car.
You will probably need to have a feel of the box, check if the shifter is sloppy if it is then bushes will need to be replaced ~ $ 200
Steering it should be smooth and shouldn't pull back, if the steering is sluggish or sloppy and not smooth in the turn ~ powersteering pump ~ up to 700 for a rebuild i believe, I haven't done mine yet then there will be a cost for steering bushes ( Can a forum member update this will a more accurate price and pricing for steering bushes )
Anti lift kit and strut bushes for sway bar and links I believe was up to ~300 for a kit then the price for labour. These should be eyeballed when inspecting.
Check CV boots to make sure its in good nick and no grease is leaking.
Make sure the engine is purring along, no white smoke after then engine has idled for a good 20 minutes is warm.
Check radiator fluid to make sure there is no oil film inside.
Check engine bay for any oil around seals.
Check for the usual rust and irregular weld joints.
Check all the panels to make sure everything absolutely lines up, if anything doesn't check the interior and question it as it was most likely in a stack.
Turn on the car check the radio and lights for flickering or radio static, if there is then you've probably got some sort of electrical troubelshooting to do which can be quite a bit of $$$.
look under the driver steering collumn thing and passenger, wires should be tucked away and neat. If its all messed up then question the seller as it probably had aftermarket parts all over it and was returned to stock standard - things may not be working right.
