88 would be a solid axle front.
There a great honest vehicle if they have been looked after.
check for good service history of 5000km oil and filter changes.
check oil condition, is it thick, or runny when cool.
These motors soot up their oil, and dont have alot of oil in the sump, thus the required frequent changes.
Check for rust in the drivers and pax foot wells, pillars, and along the roof line.
if you dont know what your looking at mech wise, invest in a mechs report that you trust. or a mate who knows them.
Most common faults are flogged out spring bushes, worn front axle hubs, and leaking oil around the front axle seals, no biggies, easy to fix, but take time.
