Find one with the least amount of previous owners{PO}.The most service records/paperwork.The least amount of miles.As new as you can afford.From an area that does not use road salt,or if not then an owner that was thoughtful enough to rinse the grit out of the wheel wells.See if the fluid in the trans was changed regularly and then you continue to change it at 30k mile intervals.I am a 5 speed guy but this is what the auto trans guys say.Make sure it shifts distinctly and smoothly.Condition will be reflected in the price so adjust your criteria accordingly.Also try to find one that has had things like Head gasket,heater core,and blower motor
replaced already.If not then factor those things in as possibilities after 100k miles.You are making a smart choice as these are high quality cars that cost the original owners 40k dollars new but luckily can be had for substantially less.Good luck.The hunt is just as thrilling as the find.
