Things to look for

Super strut wear / replacement, can be pricey to replace depending on what Toyota's prices are, fairly straight forward job to do yourself though

Inner CV - to replace you have to buy the whole drive shaft, if buying genuine from Toyota

CAS oil leak, fairly common from what I have found by doing a bit of digging around

Dash cracking / pulling apart due to sunlight at bottom of windscreen

Other than that just general wear and tear really

Wow - there you go... it's my old car!
I was first NZ owner then I sold it to another Toyspeed member (not active on here now).
It was factory standard when I owned it. I looked after it and serviced it well.
I'm pretty sure the guy I sold it to was the same.
I installed new toyota genuine superstrut links (the bits that usually wear out).
I also put a new clutch in it (this was about 6 years ago)

I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!
