Default buying volvo 1989 745T

I'm going to look at an 89' 745T 4-speed man. It has a 189xxx on it, overdrive doesn't work, and of course the headliner is sagging, Has a rebuilt engine and apparently the turbo is ok. I think I can get it for close to a $1000. What should I be looking out for when I go to take a look? I'm somewhat mechanicall inclined, but would love some advice on things to watch out for on these models specifically. Getting it for only $1000 I do plan on spending a bit to get it back to tip top shape. I just want to make sure i'm not buying a complet money pit. thanks

Man, any 22 year old car should be a money pit. Post in the 740 section and you will probably get some feedback.

Thanks for the reply. I posted this in the 740 section. I know any 1000 dollar car will cme with more than it's fair share of issues. Just want to know what I'm getting.
