hope this is not too late
- opent he radiator cap, check the colour etc.
- check the radiator mounts, maybe they are new showing it has front end accident
- check around alls seals for rust.
- check exhaust piping oem often rusts through, either muffler or cat or the piping
- make sure the odometer numebrs all line up
- get under the car, make sure no chassis bends etc.
- If you have a good eye, you can tell if its had panels resprayed, some orange peel on panels etc, different texture.
- Log books
- wear and tear on the inside, you dont want to have a car that is too junked around.

if its right the car is right, but if you have doubts straight away walk away, dont kid yourself to buy it.

also check for ripples around the strut tower mounts..this is also an indicator of a front end impacts...
