Some potential issues I would check:


1) Find out if the valve spring recall been performed on this car.



2) Before you take final delivery (I don't know if all the papers are signed yet or the car paid for), make sure you get adequate time and opportunity to take it for a lengthy test drive, look under the car for leaks, and listen carefully for strange noises coming from the motor (rod knock, etc.)


3) Hook up a scan tool and see if there are any stored or pending codes


4) It might be a good idea to do an oil analysis via Blackstone to check the health of the engine internals.



This car has been in an accident and was boosted by someone else and has been driven (likely hooned) who knows how many times by random folks at auctions, transports, body shops - be thorough checking it over.
