    Thanks for the quick responses. Shall try and arrange another look on the weekend and check for rust.

    As far as clutch slipping, I didn't notice any.

    As far as price, is $7,500 too high (if all is at it seems)? Always good to get the lowest you can of course, but just wondering how that figure compares with what others have paid. He's asking $8,500. I've already made an offer..

    Edit: is window fogging/ventilation a problem in these cars? The car was parked in an underground car park and when we turned up the front window was quite fogged (it had been parked for several hours). That might indicate dampness in the car, although it didn't smell damp at all.

    Regarding the fogging of the windscreen, did the car smell like coolant at all? If so, this is a telltale sign that the heater core is busted, a very common problem and a costly one (I know from experience!)

    I didn't notice any smells like that, but I'll add it to my list of things to check for, thanks. The owner reckoned the temperature gauge never got above normal levels even in extreme summer heat.
