So it is a 1983 sedan, right? Is it a DL or a GL (GL trim leverl usually has power windows, and may have leather seats).

What engine does it have? The non-turbo 4-cylinder that year is a good solid beast, the B23F. The turbo is the B21FT, and is OK, but uses a different fuel injection system. The V-6 gas engine is best used as a boat anchor. The I-6 Diesel engine is OK, but has the caveats of hard to find parts and technicians, and if the timing belt goes, the entire engine is junk.

Check very thoroughly for rust. Wheel wells, under the carpets in front seat footwells, along the rocker panels and inside the trunk around the tail lights.

Can you get the service records? Wioth no rust, and good records, you may have a good buy there. Negotiate anyway. How badly does the seller need to sell?
Too many cars in the driveway? Wife yelling about that?


Good Luck,

Bob
