tnord is an unknown quantity at this point
check the body bolts/screws to see if the paint on them is still perfect, that'll help you tell if the car has been in a wreck. also check for orange peel and dust in the paint. those are easy things to see that the seller thinks they can hide, but you can't hide that from a trained detailers eye :::cue evil laugh:::

i always have the owner take me for a drive first. you can get a general feel about how good his is with his transmission and clutch. also, if he's an idiot, he'll try and rip around right after he starts it up cause he's trying to show the car off. if he does this, jump out of the moving car and run away as quickly as you can.
