Hi and welcome to the forum,
I've owned a Mk3 CL .. things i'd look out for is mainly the idle .. make sure it sits nice .
also have a good look under the bonnet for leaks in coolant hoses and the plastic joiners .. they do get brittle at this age ..
pay no attention to the boat like suspension .. it was like that from the factory ... coilovers make them feel like a go Kart !
other than that .. i suppose it differs from each shell to the other on the amount of rattles .. mine had zero rattles when i bought it ..
best of luck ! and be sure to put up a pic of the new baby !
