Turn everything on electrical and confirm in working condition (do the seats heat?, do the mirrors heat? A/C working? etc.). CD all radio functions, fan controls and toggle switches working as should? Engine purring with little to no "noises" when at idle? Rev it up and look for smoke at the exhuast. White = Coolant, Blue = Oil, Black = Rich Fuel Mixture...you don't want to see any of these coming out of your exhaust! Take it out on the road and push it hard....solid? Steering tight and responsive? Smooth Transmission (automatic)? Clutch solid and not slipping (manual)? When purchasing mine from a Chrysler dealership, some of the items I mentioned were not working. They became part of the sales aggreement and were all repaired as part of the deal. For example my passenger seat did not heat up. $500 module behind the dash was the fix.
Consider having the car windows tinted and rust proofed as I managed to have that thrown in for free.
Whatever happens, you will have no regrets.
Good Luck!
