Anywhere where there are joints, welds, etc. Checking around the engine compartment wouldn't hurt either. I'm sure it's just as stuffed as any FF car, so don't be afraid to bust out a flashlight and break yo neck fool...
Ok, so I'm back. I ended up buying the car for $3500. There some things wrong with the car but they weren't big deal. There's a rip in the driver's side seat backing and there was a small bit of rust where the rear bumper meets the rear quarter panel on the passenger side. Also, the engine bay was pretty dirty but I figure that's something that can be cleaned up without too much trouble.
Also, the big thing was that the timing belt has never been done (at 134k miles currently.) So I've gotta get that done soon along with an oil change/tune up. The car had been sitting in the guy's garage for quite a while. I'm pretty pleased with the car though and will hopefully get some stuff done on it this weekend. I'll post some pics once I get it all cleaned up.
The pictures are kind of misleading. It needs some "reconditioning" but should look really good by the time I'm done washing/waxing/detailing/whatever.
