Have the compression checked before you buy. If you have $$ to buy a new engine...then factor that in. Also, check for any body damage repairs...then, there is the regular stuff.

Check for awful smells too....you might find something dead in there?!

Get a history report....

Or even worse... something alive.

This one time I was working on a Brand new land rover and pulled up the floor mats and there was this colony or ants living there.

They must have been british ants as this truck on had 8 miles on it, and came right from the dealer who got it in that morning's stock delivery.
