it's a used car.
you are going to be looking for used car things.

Does it track straight?
does all the electronics work?
does it shift nicely?
does it drive nicely?
are all the tires in good condition?
does the A/C work?
Does the heater work?
is the alignment good?
is the body panels straight?
any paint issues?
does the sunroof work?
does the car pull in every gear?
are there any leaks?
does the radio work?
does the navigation work?
How does the interior look?
any funny noises upon startup?
did the seller change the oil?
can you get your hands on the carfax or any records indicating it was well maintained?
etc

I love these threads. As my law professor would always answer questions....it depends

We have no pics or link or other details to provide solid feedback
Have you been able to address each of Justins points to your satisfaction?
Do you have skill to turn wrenches (you a DIYer) and can handle fixing what needs to be fixed?

Heres a good start...per Thoi's post...

OP is this the one located in NJ? I'd say it's a good deal. If you'd like a Carfax report I can hook you up.

check to see if the timing belt was changed already... check the service records to make sure routine maintenance was done.

shifting smoothly
how well does it ride?
shocks / struts ever changed?
overall look
brakes
oil
bluetooth working?

carfax it and see whats up. if the timing belt wasnt changed i'd drop the offer to 8k, 125k miles is nothing
