Just found one for sale locally. Looks pretty clean bit of rust on lower rear quarters. What should I look for? Has had lower mileage engine installed. I might try to check it out tomorrow if the rain holds off. Thanks in advance.

N/A or turbo?

What to look for? Mostly the previous owner, IME .

Deferred maintenance can be a problem due to the cost involved if you don't do the wofk yourself. Check for signs of leaks on a T-top car.

Timing belt is a b*&^%ch to install on the turbo model. They are a whole lot of fun with a Camry V6 installed. Relatively easy to do.

Thanks for the input. It's an NA and I can do some work myself but I have a friend who wrench's on race cars.

The big thing about the NA is oil leaks....it's the same 2.2 That's in the Camry so parts are very easy to get.
