Check for rust and that the roof is in 1 piece, not 2 or ripped. Check that its been serviced etc.
Thats my 2cents worth. Im sure the boys and girls here will fill in the blanks which i don't know about.

Depends on the year mate, the cabby's ran well late (up to 93). Post 82 should be a 1.8 with a 5 speed box.
