Found a Duster for sale locally, Pretty straight looking car, It has the 3.0 and the rare 5 speed. Could anyone loan me some advise for what to look for? Like problem areas? Also how peppy are these cars? I know the 3.0 in my friends van moves I'd assume it'd be nice in a small 5-speed car. Any advise would be great!

Look for rust around the fenders and on the hatchback. See if there is any oil coming from the valvecovers (if there is, it's a fairly easy fix).

The 3.0 is very peppy, especially with the high torque output of the V6.

 

Also check the floorpan, the area around the parking brake tends to be a good spot to find rust
