Default Check on a GS before buying?

Hey guys curious on the top things to check when buying a GS to avoid any problems or to avoid what the seller isn't telling me.

I am selling mine. It will be in the classifieds once I get the time to get things together. The car is flawless, modded, maintained & ready to go.. I am local too There are many here that can vouch for my car. Don't go for the unknown.

If you're going through a private guy, make sure to check carfax, and take someone with you that knows about cars. Check all the lining of the car to see if all lines are parellel. Check for maintenance records too. You should try to get with someone on CL to go with you.

Check VIN on the doors and front fenders. make sure they matchup. There should also be one on the hood and trunk lid. If they don't it could indicate and accident. All body panels should have a VIN.
