Just remenber that it is a 24 YEAR OLD car. It is NOT going to be perfect after all those years and a number of owners who may have BEAT the hell out of it. All depends on the price, body and mechanical condition, Also if you can't afford to put money into it, PASS.

I am the original owner of 87 IROC and it still cost me a arm & leg to maintain it.

Since it is so old you should expect on taking the engine out, people always lie about how good of shape their car is. Your not really going to know exactly how bad the car is until you take it appart. But thats just my opinion from my personal experiance.
