Advice for someone looking for a 97-02 GSR

Hello mitsu peeps. Have always fancied GSRs and am now on the look out for a good example to keep and play with. What should a 2nd hand GSR hunter look out for for? What are the red flags? Signals of a bad buy vs a good buy. What are the obvious things to look out for and any notes for listening to engine or even looking at the body.

Basic

1. Walang puting usok na lumalabas.
2. If you know where the engine supports are placed, check if cracked or not. Kaso yung sa ilalim di mo makikita.
3. Clean engine, walang tagas ng mga oils.

Best is to test drive. Dapat smooth ang shifting ng gear, hindi kumakadyot from primera to segunda.

check for any leaks.
also as soon as you get the car, replace the belts and liquids whether may tama or wala. shameless plug: my sister's selling her GSR corsica yellow top-of-the-line (limited edition). if you're interested, just PM me.

Thanks for the tips. Was looking also for some "flaws" of the breed if anyone has heard of any. Cause some models and some marques have their quirks. Or even inherent "flaws". Or if not inherent some that actually seem common.
