Default Classic 'High Miles' Issues ?

In the market for a Classic and was wondering what I should be aware of in terms of problems with say a 60k+ car?
At the moment looking for a Jap Wagon, maybe a 95'
Thanks

I'd be aware that the cambelt has to be changed every 3 years or 45,000 miles. so if you are looking at a 95 car, you should expect the cambelt to have been changed twice at least.

Wagons are a good choice - as you get more car for your money.
(Annoying for me as I'm trying to sell a '97 STi Wagon)

Thanks guys, have not got a large budget but what would be a rought price to pick up a Wagon for?

Ages would be good ie 93 - 95 etc

I have a Passat VR6 Estate with all the toys and a MK2 Golf 16v to p/ex!!!
