Welcome attybrian. Hey, is this jas2wa's car? His is listed in the Cars for Sale forum, dated 9/1/04. If you get a 108 this forum will prove to be invaluable, I know from experience

Does the putative purchase have functioning heat/defrost sliders? They are plentiful but a bit of a PITA to replace -- time consuming more than anything else. Check front subframe mounts and the flex disc at the front of the driveshaft. Original rubber hoses and the like will be past their prime and should be replaced if not done yet. You will receive lots of input on this and you can run a search for various threads to learn more about particular components which may be mentioned to you as troublesome spots.

And, oh yeh, before everybody else shouts it out -- R-U-S-T

My own ride I bought in Dec. 03, with 45K mis. Main things so far: Replaced the flex disc; rebuilt the front calipers; replaced injector seals; new plug wires (and tune-up); oil change; fresh air filter; flushed cooling system; replaced heater levers; converted to euro headlamps with driving lights replacing the faux-fogs; new window regulator in RF door; freed-up frozen LR door; repalced tranny gasket and filter; replaced PS filter; put in a working Becker AM/FM/cassette, and have just generally puttered with it quite a bit. Mine has been rock-solid reliable as my daily driver and the body is amazingly sturdy for an Ohio car. I still have rubber brake hoses and front subframe mounts to do. Paid $2750.
