The turbo for this year has the same engine (almost) and same fuel injection system as the naturally aspirated DL/GL. K-Jetronic is pretty reliable, but it wouldn't hurt to invest in a mechanical fuel pressure gauge - Kjet is all about fuel pressure, and when it doesn't work that is usually your problem.
It's a pretty basic car. Nothing really 'electronic' on this one, except for an oxygen sensor and an 8bit "computer" to control the loopback system.
I'm sure that the turbo has been replaced or rebuilt at this point. However, check for play in the shaft. Look for excessive oil in the intercooler hoses (if it has an intercooler) and airbox. Look for cracks in the exhaust manifold and leaks in the manifold gasket. That job is probably the biggest PITA repair on this car.
Despite the lack of real electronic fuel injection, there is still a wiring loom under the hood. The loom for turbo K-jet cars is actually the cheapest to replace, if this hasn't already been done.
Check grounds, fuses, and the like. Has the blower motor been replaced?
Motor mounts, transmission mount, clutch (if it's a 4spd+OD), and TAB bushings.
For $2000, it should be close to pristine inside and out, and not have any of these issues.
