    A superficial inspection that just touches on the peripherals 😢. Start with the serious core issues. Structural rot and accident damage. Then compressions, and oil pressure when hot. These are serious issues $$$$$ to put right and are what define a good car from bad. Brakes, suspension bushes etc etc are cheap to rectify in comparison. A bent or rotted car or one down on power or oil pressure would cause me to walk away. Not these peripheral issues such as brake calipers or arb bushes!!!😮
