Hi,
I have a chance to buy a 1985 Supra. I'm reading up as much as I can about 1985 Supras, but some advice would be appreciated. Here's the ad blurb:
------------------- start ad
1985 Toyota Supra, 6 cylinder, 5 speed, 160k miles, all power equipment (including sunroof, steering, brakes, windows, locks), tilt steering, stereo, alarm system, all original.
Two owner car, never wrecked. Owned by older (retired) lady for last 14 years.
Straight body, small rust spot "nickle size" around missing antenna. Needs clutchfan for A/C, quoted at $132 (A/C already gassed up). Has brand new battery. Good tread on 14" Toyota Supra tires. Was licensed in NV. Doesn't smoke, doesn't burn oil, never has any problems passing smog. Excellent gas mileage, about 27-28mpg in town.
Fast and peppy little car, very sporty and a head-turner. Has never been raced or torn up. Has been garaged or under carport most of the time. This has been the most maintenance-free car I've ever owned. Passenger side window needs to be put back on track after a guy in las vegas tried to break in last summer. I have the rollers but hadn't gotten it fixed.
Dark silvery-blue color (original), blue cloth interior.
Cleaned up inside and out..... ready to go....
Reason for selling...sits too low, have back injury and difficult to get in and out.

What things should I pay attention to while looking at this car? while driving?
What things should I ask a mech to check out?
Assuming things check out, what would be a fair offer?
Thanks,
Hong
