1985... that would be a 5M-E (not a 5MGE) yeah?
(someone confirm)
hmm.... have you checked for rust and stuff?
Check everything else too.
Check inside the oil cap for milky buildups, check the catch bottle and radiator for gunk and the colour of coolant or water, start the car and look at the open radiator, are there bubbles coming up?H
ow many kilometers does it have on it?
What's the interior like?
Check the door jams for rust, and the bottom of the doors.
also check behind the rear wheel arches for rust...
Suspension? Does it creak and squeak when driving? Have you taken it for a test drive yet?
Feel like more of a boat than it should?
Check the bushings, see what condition theyre in.
Also, I think you should ask your questions or any further queries or at least, if you do decide to get the car, you should visit www.toyotacressida.net
Very good site, VERY handy for when I had my cressida... (i still visit there, very nice bunch of knowledgable people)
