Yeah, one big area on those cars is around the front and back windows near the bottom corners especially. Water tends to seap in there and get caught in those corners-so rust is VERY common there. Also, check inside the fender-wells. When overlooking the car, check for bubbles in the paint where rust has been painted over.

also ask for the history of the car: owners, damage, origin, etc.

also insurance and where to get spares. remember these cars are not sold here usually so parts are rare even moreso as its a classic.

insurance and spares arent a prob, but the car wasnt as it was described......it sure looked good, until i started to poke around.......basically, badly repaired crash damage, paint blistering and a knackered gearbox. all of this i could sort out, but the guy wouldnt drop to a reasonable price, so i walked..
nevermind, im off to see another one on saturday so we shall see...

good, you don't want a car with any sign of crash damage
