Nick,
The speedodometer works just like any other one you have seen. I would be worried if it dosent just make a nice smooth sweep.

In addition to chips with rust on the outside, open the door and pull the gasket at the bottom out a little and see if there is rust under it. That is a common point. Make sure the owner is okay with that. Putting the gasket back isnt hard but you need to be sure to get is seated back in there. If he has rust on the door surfaces, I would say he hasnt been taking great care of his car. Are the headlights nice and clear, no haze? Fog lights okay, center caps not laying in the bottom of the lens? Tires wearing evenly, no alignment issues? Has the car be lowered? If so, did they do a camber realignment?

These are GREAT cars and you may want to look at a few others and find one that you REALLY feel good about.
