You seem to have mentioned all the common body problem areas. I don't know much about that model, but I'm sure we have members who can help. I had them look at oil pressure, smoking tail pipes, transmission, shifting, (mines a 4 speed) and suspension. The test drive was nice. The inspector listed the problems he saw and also assigned the car a grade A-F. Mine had a few problems, nothing major. He graded it as a B.
