Buying Tips
Buying tips	Scabby bodies are a real turn off with these cars, but they pain of a rusty arch is nothing compared with the horrors you can find underneath. Strada models with electric windows and sunroof might seem appealing, but it's doubtful if either feature works now. Rear suspension needs careful checking out - as do the front links and damper inserts. A notchy gearchange needn't mean trouble with the 'box (the transaxle is variable in quality at best) but you could have linkage problems.
