#1. Sloppy front steering linkage (tie-rod ends, balljoints)

#2. Normal like any other car.

#3. Around 2000 I would assume.

#4. No, fairly cheap.

For the price you are paying for it I would buy it.

So aI'm about to buy one of five Tempo's here in Sweden. It has done 50000 kilometers, and it will set me back 5000 sek. That's about 710$.
Now i have a few questions.
1. Is there something in particular that you should look out for with theese cars?
2. How's the rust on Tempo's in general?
3. The one I'm buying has the 3 speed automatic transmission. When you are doing like 60 MPH, how high do the RPM's go? (Not sure how to say that correctly)
4. The car has a broken ball-joint or steering end, don't really remember what it was. But would any of that be an expensive repair?

Thanks!
