Thoroughly inspect the automatic transmission for smooth shifts and any unusual noises during a test drive.
Check for rust, especially on the rocker panels, wheel arches, and undercarriage, as it's a common issue on older models.
Verify the service history, paying close attention to oil changes and transmission fluid maintenance.
Test all electrical components, including power windows, radio, and air conditioning, as electrical gremlins can be frustrating.
Consider the GT (Turbo) variant for significantly better performance if budget allows, as the base engine is quite weak.
Listen for suspension noises (clunks, squeaks) over bumps, indicating worn components that will need replacement.
Factor in potential maintenance costs for an older American vehicle; some parts may require ordering.
