Year?
Condition?

Any time you are considering a car be it used or new, there are two things you must do.

1) Examine the condition of the vehicle, especially if used.
Check the exterior for rust or obvious repairs. If a repair is obvious, it's probably done poorly. In your case, the rear quarters and wheel wells are common places for rust to form and can be very expensive to repair.

2) Test drive the vehicle.
If something (or things) feels wrong, drop by a couple of enthusiast forums (Like the one you are at right now) and get info on the possibly problems. Try to descrbie them as best you can. If you write them down as you are on the test drive, that is best.

With detailed information, a good enthusiast forum (like this one) will be able to give you a pretty good judgment about whether or not the vehicle is a good buy.
