rust - just look for rust.

You have to replace radiators about every year or 2 - they plug up and the car slowly overheats. But they are only around $115 so not too bad. Never had a turbo loyale, subafreak can talk turbos.

Other than that they are little tanks. I beat the hell outta mine and it still runs at 275k. I really can't think of anything else to watch for - we bought this one new, put that many miles on it basically changing oil, timing belts, radiators, and cv shafts.
Original clutch went around 215k and it was abused. Severely abused. Sidestepped at most take offs and 2nd/ 3rd gear shifts abused.

Damn, I love that car.
