Considering the age of the car, I would only fret about paperwork.

If it's a salvage title, stay away from it. Some vehicles can never be corrected depending on the nature of the accident and the repairs performed.

Abusive treatment or lackluster maintenance shows up pretty early in the life of a vehicle...
