Welcome, and the best advice anyone can give you is do a search here.

With regard to the car its all a matter of opinion. The cars are pretty durable and pretty much every problem with them is known and can be fixed. The problem is these cars are as much as 20 years old now Some of them have been run hard, some have been loved but not fixed, still others have been well taking care off. My advice is find a good one with all the records.

P.s It may still need work when you find it. 20 years old man, come on
