So on Saturday I will be checking out a UCF10 with all major service records included. Just for good measure i'm gonna have my mechanic check it out. Are there any common problems or things I should look out for?

Your help is much appreciated!

Check how it starts. Look for hesitation; a sign the solenoid could be going bad.

Driver seat recline. Usually broken and ends up gangster leaning to the left.

Climate control LCD panel on the UCF10 are usually burned out.

Power steering leaks. Be thorough when looking for any fluid leak. PS leaks are common.

Thanks mclarenf1k! I'm pretty sure the power steering pump has been replaced but ill definitely check for that problem with the reclining seat and how the car starts up

take it to a mechanic with a lift and have him check ALL the rear suspension bushings. the motor/transmission mounts, and all ball joints, mainly uppers as they are part of the arm and exspensive to replace, any leaks? remove the trans inspection cover to see if the rear main is leaking(not a cheap fix), gauge cluster lights(easy fix), working gas gauge, and then the normal stuff like the belts, hoses etc... when was the last timing belt change done?

Well supposedly he has had all major services done(New power steering pump, battery, etc.) and the seller will be bringing all service records with him. Because I am a 14 hour drive away from the car I haven't been able to check it out yet until I get back on Saturday. I will definitely inform my mechanic to pay close attention to those problems you mentioned willamb82. Thank you so much!
