Thoughts on a '92 100 V6?

[Todd Young]

Hmmmm. 1992, first year for the V6. Bound to have all of the associated 
problems. I'm not sure I would want it. But then again, it does have the 
manual trans instead of the slushbox.

I would focus on the engine and look for oil seepage, especially in the 
head gasket area. Check the spark plug wells with a good flashlight to 
make sure there's no oil collecting there. Check the outer surface of 
the head/block also for oil seepage.

Take the car out for a good drive to warm it up. Then park somewhere for 
10 minutes and then move the car. Look for oil spots on the ground.

If you have any mechanical ability, I'm sure you could replace the 
heater core with minimal problems. I would be more concerned with the 
engine.
