T-bar? Huh? I would like to know what to look for as well, and common problems, and specific points to check for problems would be nice as well.

Too bad I am most likely not going to either:

1. Not get a two for a couple of months.

2. Not get a two, and end up having to get a AE86.

We will have to wait and see.

There is some good advice on here although UK specific in places.
