Ive got one tip. Dont believe the previous owner when he tells you "Dont worry if she uses a bit of oil, all Ferozas do that"

$3000 later I beg to differ :D

Check under the oil cap for any white foaming - I didn't notice on mine, $1200 to replace head gasket and flush everything later.....

Get it checked out by a mechanic you trust.

One thing to check that hasn't been mentioned before is the wheel bearing and steering. Tug on the front wheels and check for free play.

Check for bent up underneath to see if its been racked... i couldnt pull off my gearbox support to replace the mount (also engine mounts are often broken) due to it being dinged up, shows the guy who owned it last did some hard driving in it...
Fear the mighty Daihatsu!
