The 87-88 use a hydraulic clutch, no cable.
Look at brakes, the ABS. Make sure all the electronic stuff works, A/C, ride control seats and windowes, locks, auto light on and auto dim lights, pwr seat conntrols. locks.
Also see "Just bought a TC, What should I check?" in the FAQs
Good Luck

See if the oil dipstick blows out of the tube. Make sure is in all the way then take it for a test ride and check it again. If its out a little that means the engine has a lot of blow by.
