Greetings to all.

I've been lurking around here a bit in the last few days and decided to register this morning and ask a few questions. I used search a little bit and was hoping there was a "Buying Guide" FAQ or something similar, but I didn't see anything. Anyway, my situation is this:

My parents called me a few days ago to tell me that a "friend" of theirs had a clean 1992 Accord EX (fully loaded) for a really low price ($3,000). The car is supposedly in great shape but everyone says that! I've done a carfax on the VIN number and it has turned out clean but I have yet to look at the car. I plan to take the car to a Honda specialist at some point. However, I am short on time and would like to know if there are obvious things to look out for so I can do a quick checkup on the car myself BEFORE having to take it to a specialist.

Clearly, I'll have it checked out...but if there's something obvious that is broken/lacking/etc I'd like to avoid having to take off work, find a place to take it, etc. So.........is there any website that has a guideline of what to look for on Fourth Gens? Perhaps you guys have some advice? If I've posted in the wrong place or missed a feature you guys have that would answer this, I apologize in advance!

Thanks for any help you can provide. It is greatly appreciated!
