make sure it starts well both hot or cold (should turn over 2-3 times before it starts), for all the obvious things when buying a used car and get some pics up when you get it, im sure some of the more experienced folk will help you out more :Thumbsup!

Welcome to MRC

Pleased it sounds like you have a good car,

Keep an eye on the water level and only check to see that you can see water via the cap actualy on the engine,

Have fun out there:Thumbsup!
