check the transmission!
I bought mine and two weeks later is SMS-ed itself.
now, I say 'check it', but there's really not anything you can 'check'.
Crawl under the front and check the code on the transmission plate. If it's
the AGB, you wan to ask if the differential rivets have been replaced with a
bolt kit. Otherwise, that should be one of your first projects. If it feels
funny (i.e. lurching, but not engine related), then it's about to go. They
can also go with no warning. Put a 2" hole in my case when mine went.
Please, still get the car!

I'm purchasing an '87 16V, tornado red, pretty nice condition for $1100. I
think its a good deal, and I was wondering if there are some things that
need to be done.
I'm having the timing belt and tensioner replaced, all other belts checked
and replaced, same with hoses, etc. I guess I just want to know if there's
anything else unique to these cars I should know about.
Thanks.
