im going to go look at a 88 turbo II and i was just wondering if there was any major things that i should look for

 

yes tons. most importantly definitly make sure no oil in the coolant overflow tank. make sure it idles nice.. blah blah.. check the turbo for play, check startup for smoke. if the car starts up and idles perfect at 800rpm or whatever id definitly be suspicious. usually means the guy ran the car before you can so that you could not see hard start problems, startup smoke, etc. if you start it up and the idle goes high, then slowly comes down, that means you got a true cold start and can base judgements.

there is a write up somewhere on teamfc3s.org under buyers guide i believe. if not search yahoo.
