Re: Questions about buying a gst/gsx
when the car is cold(hasnt been turnd on) remove intake from turbo if it has it (which it should) check if theres a bit of shaft play more than usual then i would turn on the car warm it up 5min or so give a couple revs then check again for shaft play if there is then more than likely the seals are gone and needs to be rebuilt (if seals are busted more than likely the car will be smoken...

Also check for rust Anywhere in the car, especially strut towers. Check the fluid levels and listen for any weird noises. Drive with Windows down and listen for any noises when driving or during braking.
