There will be an auction near me this Sunday (7/15) and they're gonna have a 1994 Celica GT up on the block. I was wondering if I can get some advice on specific flaws to look for while inspecting the car, since there probably won't be a maintenance record for it. I would also like to know what would be a reasonable price to pay for it. According to the website, the car has about 118k miles, so it probably has a long life ahead. They haven't posted pictures, so posting the link would be kind of pointless. But yeah, any advice on specific things to check for would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Take a good look at the radiator. They turn a brownish color along the top (from heat I believe), and like to crack there also. The headlights collect water on these cars(mostly high beams, I think)but this would be easy to see. Look for condensation or brown tint behind the glass in the light. Look at the exhaust, possible cracks at the flex pipe. I'm sure I'll think of more.
