Pull the trans dipstick and look at the condition of the fluid. Check
the brake fluid also it shouldn't be black. If it is you will soon
need a brake job. Look at the motor for signs of ever being
overheated. Look at the fuse and relay panel for anything melted.
Check the frame for rust, especially around the front crumple zone and
notor mounts. It should shift smoothly and not pull to either side
when driving or braking. The price is about right but expect to spend
money on the car improving and replacing parts after all it is a 20
year old car. The door struts are the least of your worries. If you
buy it bring it to the door adjustment social 4/21. Rob will be there
and can give the car a "once over" and you can buy the struts,
sometimes we get a deal and if you need an adjustment members will be
there with tools to do it if you join. Since you are in NY you might
not be too far, the event is in south Jersey.
