Hi all - I may have found a nice 1990 coupe to purchase. The miles are high
(150,000) and the price sits at $2000. The seller claims that everything
works and the car is in very good shape overall. It's about an hour drive
for me to check it out and I'm looking for advice and insights as to what to
look for or potential problems on this vehicle before I take the time to
visit it and test drive it.

The engine is, I believe, a normally aspirated in-line 5 with 20 valves.
I've been told that both the engine and the rest of the vehicle are totally
stock.

The car would be replacing a 1989 100q that is starting to show her age.

Any comments?

Thanks in advance!

Tom
