Definitely look at the mileage, stay away from anything with leaks (coolant & oil), finding something stock & unmolested will help you not inherit someone's problems or poor judgments. Look for other typical used car issues. FD's are all factory twin turbo.

I, too, would look for non modded stock one for any type of vehicles. High mileage (I don't care if its hwy miles) it's still wear & tear on various components. Look at exhaust and check for smoke.

Yep, that's the best way to minimize headache later down the road.

Yep if you pop the hood & there is only one turbo looking up at you it's has been modded. FC's came single as well as the JDM FB's.
