it shows 125k, is there any thing I should look for other than like the temp.
more looking at the 6 speed..good or bad?
OK - I see the car you are looking at on Craigslist.
Sherwood green sixer. Driver's seat looks in remarkably good shape. Hard to tell by the two pictures exactly what the rest of the car looks like. Sure Minnesota cars have rust. That's why each time I drive mine up there I get offers at gas stations.
Car is located 190 miles from you. Worth a trip for the price is good. I'd spend most of my time in the engine bay and see what kind of maintenance records and money have been spent up there. Take it out for a drive and see how the six speed shifts. Keep an eye on the temperature gauge. Try out all of the controls. From the radio, sunroof, automatic climate control, anything that moves. Does the auto switch work on the drivers door?
Remember - there is a reason he is selling the car and it is your job to try to find that out. And why is the gas can and another can sitting by the car? Has it been sitting there for awhile without gas? Check the liquids in the engine bay.
It may be a deal. But not one if you have to put a wallet full of money into the engine bay to get it back up to enthusiast standards.
Good luck...
