I cant really tell you much about prices except from 11k for an 89-90 to 14-15k for a 92-93 (these are stock btw) private sale
as far as what to look out for, firstly the clutch being an AWD people like the quick take offs and cause the clutch is the only weak point in the driveline its cops a hammering if the guy is a hoon...
If it has been modded i.e. FCD and Boost controller, if its been running anymore than 12psi on original head + gasket do a compression test as the higher boost levels if improperly monitored could have spiked in the past blowing the HG.
Check the exhaust for white smoke at idle and when driving as it could be blown turbo seals....infact when you drive it make sure boost comes on around 2.5k rpm a bit lower if a down pipe is fitted...
obviously do the usuall things...check the coolant for bubbles, milkiness or sediment, listen to driveline noises or any clunking coming from the rear diff when accelerating or changing gears (worn mounts). if you got time check plugs aswell to see how its been driven.
