i know this has already been asked probably a ton of times, but in two days i am test driving a fd and i was wondering what type of things should i test for in order to see if the car is good, it has 62k miles on it w/o a rebuild so i am a tad bit hesitant on that part, any help would be great, thanks

Don't be afraid to let it loose and go WOT but make sure to have warmed up the car first. In 3rd gear, boost should go 10-8-10 but if it goes 10-10-10 that would be even better

At idle, you should pull 16-20in/hg of vaccum. I suggest you do a couple of hard braking stops to see if it pulls to one side. Take a couple of hard turns too just to make sure it's suspension is still there.

BTW: If you have never driven in a FD before, it might be rougher then usual which is perfectly fine.

Make sure the guy is cool about letting you go WOT, some people don't let you and you should avoid these people, they are probally trying to hide some defects in the car like hesitation or something like that. Make sure to have a good time, it should be fun to shop for a car!
