First and foremost full service history preferably with respected specialist. Avoid if skipped oil changes. Cambelt should have been done once or twice on that car.
Inspect the pads and brakes for heavy wear. Gear changes should be "rifle bolt" slick and precise, clutch should be heavy but with a slick action. Sometimes it can be a bit jumpy going from first to second if you don't get it right though. Crunching and clunking not good sounds! Watch out for whiny turbos and engine knocks but these are rare on low mileage 2.0 cars. JDM cars can suffer from rust, look out for this and ask if it's been rust proofed/treated and whether or not it was done properly. Look out for signs of accident damage before and after it was imported. Mods - ask if it has had any upgrades. Turbos, pistons and decat exhausts need remapped management systems. Rear shocks on these cars are well known to knock, don't be too upset if they do it is an easy fix and can happen suddenly at any time. Aside general condition these are the points I'd generally look out for. |
JDM cars only rust after they have ben exposed to European roads. Get it underseal as part of the purchase.
Looks like a top motor though. |
It's in Gronau, sank a few Warsteiners there!

I bought it and kept it for about 6 month. I then switched to an r33 gtst because i kinda disliked the awd.
