Like any car, watch out for rust, electrical issues (unless you are good at fixing them and or like electrical issues) and funny mechanical noises.
One thing I like to check for when looking at a TR is to see if it has been returned to stock, ie. did it have an alcohol kit, K&N air filter, etc. in place and is now being returned to stock to be sold. If the seller says it is all stock, never modified and everything under the hood is dirty except for some stock parts that were just replaced then I know he is lying to me and to look for other issues he might be trying to cover up.
I don't mind the car having performance parts and on it, hell most of us add them on but I really don't like liars trying to dupe me because then you can't trust anything from them.
Just remember it is probably cheaper and easier to fix mechanical issues than it is to fix rust issues.
Good luck,

T Tops leaking down the A pillars, rear frame rust

T Tops leaking down the A pillars, rear frame rust
That was confirmed.
The floor boards are shot- no big holes but lots of small ones.
The A-pillars needs some attention and the complete front top needs to be replaced.
The one thing that was extra was the Driver side door

Is it a T? How many clicks on it? Any pics? Hopefully you found a good one! :cheers:

Sounds like a $5500 car...Texas prices

I wouldn't pay 5500 for it - body repair sucks hard.

The car you are describing isn't a driver, it is a PARTS CAR. :(
