I went to look at it, body's good, couple dents and one rust spot, interior is mint. Engine pulls hard. Couple drivetrain issues..
1.) When idling in neutral, a whirring-type noise comes from the engine bay. Goes away when clutch pedal is pressed. Throw-out bearing?
2.) While moving, the transmission whines while in gear. Shifts fine, no grinding, but whines.
3.) When starting from a stop on an incline, goes into gear, I come off the clutch and add gas, transmission/driveline clunks, then goes. Same thing for high RPM shifting. Really worn out bushings on the rear diff?
4.) After hard test-drive, plume of smoke rises from driver's side front, near the corner of the engine block there. Comes from beneath the engine, probably smoke from oil on the exhaust maniford (it was blue), but not sure what could be leaking down there.
The timing belt hasn't been changed for the 2nd time yet, and these problems exist. I offered him 800 less than his asking price, he has another offer for 300 less but the guy hasn't looked at the car yet.
Any advice? Thanks for help
) Could be RFI, just a stab in the dark on that one. 
I'll try and replecate it as best I can.
. He obviously doesn't know what he has or doesn't care. Those bumps and bruises on the car don't make it any slower
