The best thing that you can have done is a compression check. That will really give you a good idea as to the state of the engine. Other than that, it is just a car so look at it real close and ask questions, but that compression check can save a lot of head-aches down the road.

Body wise I would check that there is no rust. Might not be a big deal for a few years but soon enough it will take over.



I am not too familiar with the 12at but I would check the normal things like OMP etc.

Welcome

I agree with the compression check, i would also drive the car, check the fluids after the drive, looks for leaks, rev the engine and look at the exhaust smoke, blue/white possible trouble on the future!

good luck,

Welcome to nopistons!





Yep, compression check. Hold down the pressure release valve on the gauge, and watch for 3 even bounces as the engine turns over.
