Apart from standard things to look out for when buying any car, check when the cam belt was last changed, servicing history including oil breather cleaning and for any rust around the rear arches ;) ;)

also check if the exhaust needs replacing, and see that the rear shocks aren't leaking

purely because these are very costly to replace!
