If u wanna buy an s13, check engine compression as many of these have been overboosted. Check for turbo blow by as too much oil means turbos about to go. Check for smoke on boost as that would also mean turbo is about to go. SR20s tend to lose their big end pretty easily as well, so any sounds when idling is no good. As for crash repairs, some car check services do a paint depth check. They can check for all imperfections in the paint. So they can see if its been repaired before or not. Also chekc for leaks on the diff.
But i don't think i'll end up getting a 180sx, gf is opting for the new Jazz vtir.
*sob sob* haha let you guys know if i'll end up getting one myself anyways!
Look around the radiator supports for weld or bog..
And also tap around the back fenders to hear dead / flat sounds.
A magnet helps!
Look into importing one, sometimes there are some good ones. But it's a lucky dip!
May I also suggest this,
Never under estimate this nugget!
this is key... a weak fridge magnet will do.. i used to use a decent magnet which can't detect bog because its strong enough to go through
