ummm to my knowledge, SX doesn't need to have a sunroof.
neways thinks that i would check for it in it:
-any nosie as state above
-smokey exhaust
-how the car takes bumps ~i dunno if this is also a problem in the 162, but it is in the 184 i drove a few that have loose front A frames~
-check the log books if they are avaliable, and look for your major services that should have been done ie, timming belt, coolent flushes, wheel alignments, etc (timming belt should be done every 100kms)
-another common problem is with the gearboxes, try putting the car in to 5th at 60kms when you release the clutch, your are looking too see if it comes out of gear or just pushes back.
-check the dip stick as well, you are looking at if there are any spalshes up the dip stick.
another question i would check with the owner about is if it really is a gen 2, when was the conversion done, what was done to the engine in the conversion etc. 200 000+kms seems high for a car with a conversion to a gen2, but its still possible. was the engine reconditioned b4 put into the car, is it JDM, modded plates.
thats just my input its all yours now
