3. Rust - very important to look for this. 1997-2000 models have infamous issue with Front Spring Perches rusting out. Big $$ to fix. These are in the wheel wells by the shocks. Also look for rust on top door seals and truck latches.

87path provided a rather comprehensive list of items. great info.
Trying to explore on the spring perch issue... was it definitely solved in 2000+ model ? Any difference between 4matic model vs rwd ?
As i understand it, 2000+ model has a facelift involving some front-end redesign work resulting in better crash protection... did it also solve the spring perch ?
thanks.
