The guys above are dead on, I would suggest when seeing it to take a ride long enough to listen to everything, suspension bumps, cv joint knocks, body squeaks, see if heater works, etc. After a ride long enough to get the engine/tranny warmed up, as you go over it look for engine/tranny oil leaks. I found one suprising area on a couple of parts cars I dismantled and cut up over the last few months. The torsion tubes had severe rust issues along the top where they pass through the body/frame. They looked very good until the rear seat pan came out. After I pulled the torsion bars out I dumped the rust out of the tube into a 1 gallon plastic bucket and it almost filled it up. Just wanted to pass this on to you. Also take a small refrigerator magnet with you, you can use it to check body areas that may look like they have been filled with bondo. Too much or too thick and it won't stick. Hope this turns out to be a good one.
