What shape is it in and what are any known issues. How does it start up? How does it drive? What shape is the interior in? How clean is the engine bay? Does it smoke any? How does it shift?

That should keep you busy for a while, and us.

I always like to look at the fluids - if they are ugly looking or real low I know they didn't maintain it. Then I start looking at everything else.

That's another excellent point. One time I was looking at a Pick Up, from a private party.

I checked the oil and it was full, but you could tell he had just put a fresh quart of oil in it because the oil on top was obviously new and the oil beneath it was dark.
