What To Look For When Buying A R32 Gtst

[simonr]

i'm looking at one of these tomorrow and have done some looking on here, google and asked a mate regarding what to check for.

cosmetically its in good nick, in and out. but what mechanical things should i look/listen for when at the car? it seems fairly standard. has a front mount, EBC, exhaust and tein/kyb susp, otherwise nothing of note. apparently the gearbox was recently reco'd and engine rebuilt a few yrs ago, with receipts to show the work. plus rear diff was shimmed(cheap way to 'fix' a worn diff?)

any tips would be awesome.

thanks for that link. anything else with r32 specifics? engine noises to look for, particular things to feel/listen forwhen going over the car. warm/cold issues to look for.
