Thumbs up Newbie needs help please!

Hi guys and girls..

First post and all, not really sure how to go about this..

My car (peugeot, dont ask!) is up for sale, and im seriously considering buying my mates 52plate bugeye..

Im sure some of you on here will know what i need to look out for before i hand my wad of cash over, and any advice will be much appreciated!

I will tell you what i know, and would love some help, as it will be my first scoob.

2002/52 plate,
65,000 miles
Had cambelt done at 60,000
Full Cat 1 alarm with all the goodies,
Bugeye shape, with morette headlamp conversion,
Not sure what type, but some form of dump valve,
Full turbo-back 3" stainless system, minus the cat's
Drilled and grooved Disks all round,
EBC redstuff pads all round,

The owner is a workmate, and he has driven the car like a subaru is meant to be driven, but i am wary of getting in then the engine falls out..

I have a couple of pics, but not sure how to stick them on here?

Muchos thanks peeps..

ADAM

To be honest most subarus will be cained, but if they have been looked after, ie oil changes every few thousand miles, and warmed up and cooled down, I can't see there being issues
