before finalizing the deal, CHECK THE COMPRESSION. you want to make sure the motor isnt almost carbon locked. Also check the oil cooler lines, verify they are not leaking. Look at the oil coolers and radiator, make sure there are no holes, bad dents, etc. Also check out the exhaust bolts, to see if the have been broken loose recently. that one may be kind of hard, but if the bolts are scratched up the car may have been previously "modded" and then put back to stock before selling. There are alot more things to check, but that is were I normally start.
