Any of those will be a terrific asset to your garage if

i) there's absolutely no prevalent rust

ii) no damage has occurred unless properly repaired

iii) engine is in top nick

iv) there's service history

v) running gear and suspn have minimal wear or replacements are up to spec

vi) low kms that correspond to carpet wear/ bolster wear/steering wheel wear

vii) brakes are good cond (and if possible upgraded in the R32)

viii) little or no track work

ix) the former owner/s is/are as old as I am. hehe

Check that there's no hesitation as you accelerate

Check that there's no vibration at constant speed runs for 10 sec at a time (wrt tail shaft)

Check amount of smoke and what type is coming out of the exhaust as someone follows you on a run.

Do tight circles clockwise and anticlockwise (wrt CVs)

If you're not mechanically minded, take someone who is with you on any inspection. He'll have his check-list whilst you have yours.

Enough for now?
