Going to see this car on Sunday. Does anything stand out to you guys? It’s a 1990 LX with 60k miles.

Yes good eye when I spoke to the seller on the phone he explained to me that the car was repainted and had a new front and rear bumper installed. I’ll be sure to check for any bends in the chassis to see if it’s been in a crashIt’s had a repaint; front VIN labels on inner fenders have overspray…. Plus entire rad core support is painted over, hood latch shouldn’t be black, ground bolts shouldn’t be black, they are green…etc…
Be sure to really check it over, especially if it’s on the high side of the price range.
Make sure to check the lower frame rails to strut towers for rust/rot. Check rear upper and lower torque boxes for tears in sheet metal.
Update: Saw the car, chassis looked good, engine looked good, needs new shocks and brakes. Agreed with the seller to meet again at my mechanic so we can get the car on a lift and check it out. And yes it is 160k miles not 60kProbably 160.000 miles not 60.000
Good luck with the inspection. I just joined the Foxbody tribe a few weeks back with this 87,000 mile '90 GT. It's a hoot to drive!Update: Saw the car, chassis looked good, engine looked good, needs new shocks and brakes.
