Look into the engine man, is there a bunch of stuff broken under the hood? 180k, new timing belt recently? Oil in the raditor coolant or white goo under the cap =BHG and a bad buy. Drive it to feel the tranny, grinding noises? How does it handle? Sink in the turns due to blown shocks? Interior trashed? Fluid leaks? A/C work? All the buttons on the climate control work? Windows, headlights, antennae up and down? Gas shocks on hood and trunk wasted? Turbo charger spool and produce at least 4lbs? All the power seat functions work? Damage to the interior? Spare tire and tools there? You need to really sort through a car before you buy. Listen for noises when you test drive. Does it start without having to crank it a bunch?
