subcyclist Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I'm checking out a 91 AWD 5 speed wagon tonight and wondering if there is anything I should pay extra attention to?? Thanks, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Make sure all 4 tires match, same brand, same tread, same style, same tread wear. If they arent same, then deduct from the sellers price the price of a set of 4 new tires., Also, I might say stay away from the car if it was driven on non matched tires. Look for leaks, duck your head under the front bumper looking for oil drips, or lots of greasy engine on the underside. make sure speedo is working. duck you head under to make sure if you know if its AWD or just a cheap front wheel drive only model car. The AWD will have a rear diff in between the rear tires. Make sure if its AWD that there is a center driveshaft still in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subcyclist Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 thanks for the info. Car turned out to be a Rat but gave it a drive round anyway just because I'd never driven a ej22 powered car only ea82's and mostly clapped out ones. Really liked the extra power and will be getting one when the right one appears. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
