Great deal and price if you live near beach or up north check frame for rust. other wise just check basic car stuff oil and over all look and feel for how they maintained it. Brakes and check wheels for wear at odd angles. Turn all stuff like radio off roll up windows and take a thorough test ride including 70-80 mph run to check all balance stuff like wheels and bushings and drive shaft bearing. Any can make a wobble at highway speeds. get any and all maintenance records to be sure they did all that. No real tricks except rust on frame for ones in salty areas.
