Thanks for your input, but my main question was, while test driving it, and looking at it, what are some specific things that commonly go wrong with these cars that I should pay close attention to?

The tailpipe in the aftermarket exhaust is off center. However, the maintenance records are key. Obtain them from the past owner(s) if at all possible. Lastly, I'll repeat my earlier warning:

Do you say that I should get a n/a just because it would seem to have been beaten on less? and also, if i were to get a n/a, what should i upgrade in order to prepare it for a big single turbo?
