need help finding info and advice on old car

[JJCRU23R]

gday,

theres a guy that lives on my block thats selling a 3door auto 1983 honda accord and i was wondering if anyone knows anything about this particular model of accord?

any known hazards or things i should really be aware of?

im looking to get this car for my wife to practice in while shes on her L's.

since i am a dedicated toyota owner, i know relatively nothing about hondas so any advice or useful websites would be much appreciated.

im gonna look into laying down a deposit so i can drive it to the mechanics to have it properly checked out before i decide to pay the full amount.

ive given it a test drive already, it drives pretty straight and the engine sounds pretty smooth but then again i didnt drive more than 50kms/h, just went around the block since the car was basically empty on petrol.

any help would be much appreciated.
