Rust is the killer of these cars. If there is no rust it is a good car.
If the paint can be buffed/polished to a good shine, thats a plus, becasue it is a pain to remaove all the required trim to do a good repaint.

The interior and climate control can be expensive; make wise use of recycling yards.

This might be a good car, but only if you do your own work--if you have to pay for any repairs, it could be expensive.
