Add it twice more. Rust Rust Rust!

Also see how the transmission shifts, and check the blowby. If you can start it cold, or with minimal glowing and see how it starts.

Did anyone mention rust?

Verify that its a federal model, transmission flaring or hard shifts, suspension/streering feel, climate control and AC function, all the other normal used car stuff.
