Welcome to SLi.

Nice choice. B4 RSK is dirty legacy to be rolling around in.

Basic things to take note:
High mileage motor = high mileage turbo. Signs of a bad turbo , shaft play, damaged fins, blown seals.
Timing belt, water pump, basic maintenance. have they been done or when should they be done
Common rust spots. Top of the windshield, rear quarter panel (where the bumper and quarter meet), around the gas cap
Damage to the underbody (previous owners mistakes)

there are so many things to check when buying a scooby.

Good luck and once again welcome to SLi.

Cheers Chuck... Belts have been done & also clutch.. car shows no signs of rust so assume that previous owner took care of her...
