Buying tips!!
I need to learn more about these cars before buying one. Are they prone to rust like most japanese cars that were made in the 80's?
What should I look for and what parts of the car is more susceptible to rusts?
I am looking at 1987 turbo car for purchase right now and our biggest problem with cars up here in Minnesota is salt on the road during winter.

We are a Seasoned crew..
But Honestly,you can find Flawless cars In Canada.Some guys do take care of them meticulously,storing them instead of Driving them in the Winter's Road salt,which can Make the car into a Beater real quick like.
Now..to the Poster..Read Aaron's Write-ups.. and for that,you will need Coffee..no Salt!
