94 formula
 

im goin to check out a 94 formula in the morning. its blue with grey interior all power automatic 64k miles. looks good in the pics. my friends got a 95 formy so i know the basics but anything in these cars i should specificly ask about/look for. hes askin 4,900 which is right about book value. any input tonite would be appriciated

Ask him when the last time the opti was replaced?

yah opti, intake leaks in the back sometimes, brakes warp pretty easily thats about all i can think of that happens often.

Is it auto or manual? Defineltly the intake leak like foff667 mentioned. I know I've had it more than once. Also the whole ignition system is somthing to check. Take the car for a ride, and put it into a high gear keeping it under 2K, and give it a lot of gas under load. Thats the best way to check the spark. A dying opti, coil, plugs or wires will make the car miss under load. Also, let the car warm up fully, and watch the temp. Make sure it doesnt pass 210-220 idling. Other than that, seems like a good price.

well it looked good, real clean and even had a functional 93-97 style ram air hood with the proper filter and ducting. the car had sat unused for about 4 years other then the occasional start up until he recently took it out (it was garaged) but it ran great and sounded awesome, no funny noises or anything unusual
