Arrow What to look for?

I found an 87 Turbo II for sale. I don't know anything about turbo 2nd gens so I'm a noob in that area. It has 120K miles with no mods to the car. It's in excellent condition inside and out, 100% stock. I haven't driven it yet but I don't think I'll be disappointed. I was wondering if theres anything specific I need to look for to be wrong with it, like frequent problems they may have. And with 120K miles, if its been taken care of like I think it has been, should that be any concern for the engine? I'm gonig to try adn go test drive it Friday so any advice will be helpful. Thanks from a !

Are there any cosmetic things to look for such as frequent rust spots, etc.?

Yes... just look all over the car. underbody, wheel wells, the back spare tire well, sunroof panel (most rx7s have rusted sunroof panels so dont worry if you find one. its realy common), youll most likely find some rust since its not uncommon for an old car to have some sort of rust but look for major rust where big holes start to form.
