Aside from the cosmetics, I never buy anything that can't be driven away on its own power. Check under the car and see how much oil is leaking, and where. Does it start after one or two tries? After it starts, let it warm up until the cooling fans come on, and check the temp. Listen for engine noises. Check the lights and make sure they work, and other electrical things as well. And, most importantly, make sure you can register and tag the car.
My own 99T is a work in progress, but has been my daily driver for nearly 3 years. It met the above criteria, and I am happy with it...
