#7 is the red flag and it all depends on what type of person he/she is. If she is working and making at least as much as you are, then I see no trouble at all if you want to buy the car. But, if she's those type of girls who likes to spend on clothes, makeup, gazillion shoes, wants you to spoil her all the time buying flowers etc, then urine trouble.
In all honesty, only buy the car if you have a garage or shelter you can put it in away from plain eyesight of people, because there are assholes out there who will do whatever they can to damage a good looking car. I've seen a kid running towards my car, looked at it for a second and then started pounding on my bumper, needless to say I had to do what I can to get rid of that rug rat.
