I'm going to look at a supra for sale on Sat. Need Advice

As stated in the title I'm going to look at a supra for sale on Saturday. It's an 87' with almost 100k miles on it, turbo, 5 speed. The seller is asking $4000 for it. Keeping mind thats my entire budget is it a good deal? Additionally, is there anything (problem wise) I should look for when checking it out?

Oil burning on startup from cold indicates valve stem oil seals, headgasket failed indicated usually by coolant overflow boiling over, and overheating while running. Those also indicate poor cooling system performance, something the supra also won't tolerate for long.

Other than that, the usual you look for in any car...rust in the wheel arches, etc, etc.
