Look for worn inside tyres as 4WD.
Look for iffy clutches as they can eat them
Listen for gearbox whine
Jap aftermarket exhausts are not stainless so check that out
I always think a MY95 is a good one to go for as it has a base 260bhp, the TD05 turbo which is bigger than later cars and the more robust older style MAF. But have weaker powerstearing and coolant reseviours - these can be very weak and need replacing.
Also the top hose has a tendancy to crack on older cars.
Try to avoid cars with induction kits as these often suck sh*t into the MAF and buggers things up.
A private buyer who is an enthusiast is your best bet.

Good luck
