on a serious note:
you might want to look @ the following:
waterpump (see if its new)
optispark ( see if it looks new) if not and it has a new waterpump then likely its gonna need a new opti due to the waterpump leaking
front crank seal ( common to be damp or dirty surrounding it, but make sure no major leak
rear main seal ( look to see if any trails of oil or oil stains @ rear of pan/front of inspection cover on trans
battery (whats the date on it)
clutch (where does the pedal grab hi or low) if high gonna need clutch soon
rear tranny seal (check for leak)
pinion seal on rear (is it leaking)
wipers (are they dryrotted/cracked) worse case you can bitch and get a set of wipers for free !
tires ( dryrot/cracks/wear)
brake pads ( look through wheel to see how much pad left on them)
front end (check for looseness in sterring, also any groans or howls when turning left or right) hub bearings common on them, if bad i have brand new one in box i got stuck with can sell cheap !!!
a/c (blow cold?)
temp gauge ( stay @ 220 or less?)
oil pressure should be like 30-45 psi cold / 15 or so hot @ idle
i think thats enough to check
obviously any engine noise no good !
