Check CV boots and shaft boots etc..

Do the usual drive around in a circle in second to see if any of the above is worn and clicking.

As above, oil leaks, service history, check around the head for any leaks...

Check the shocks for leaks too

try to find a car with as little modification..

^^ yeah wat they said, thats if you have the skills on finding these things yourself, general things: if the car smokes on accelaration/deccelaration, any leaks around, over heating, dings, bog work around, chasis rails on the bottom of the car, if the k's been played with, rush around the b pillar, c pillar, in the boot around the spare tire, next to the firewall.

if u dont, then try and get a mate that knows a thing or 2 about cars.

u dont wanna rush into things, or ull end up with a lemon.
