buying an MR2! tips needed

Hey guys,
new here so not really up on the MR2 stuff so would appreciate some help.
Im buying an MR2 in the next week or so Rev.1 to keep the cost down and a non-turbo to keep insurance down.
Anything I should be keeping an eye out for when checking the car over, like what tends to go wrong and what would show signs of neglect and such.

Thanks in advance,
Dave

i dont want to sound like a jerk but try the search. topic has been well covered.

i would offer advice on engine but the 3sge wasnt sold here so i have no clue.

body wise: check for water stains on seats/carpet - t-tops may leak
drive the car on the highway to check for vibration at higher speeds
check for rust on rear quarter panels
