RE: How many gears?
 

Of course there's the usual things to look for:

Rust, corrosion..etc
Make sure the A/C works
check for any oil leaks <-- Very important
Yes, definatly ask him about the timing belt.

RE: How many gears?
 

1. A/C is not working, they need to change like 4 parts in it for it to work
2. Odometer is not working, its stuck at 79k miles
3. Velocimeter(not sure if this is right) is not working, it wont show at the speed im going
4. I have to paint the engine hood, and the fenders
5. Bumper is WHITE, well is black and white.
