Is there anything special I should ask him to look out for?
Waterpump. One of the most common problems, as it has a tendency to fall apart at about 40K miles. (Just after the warranty runs out!)
I've had problems with the fuel pump, muffler, tie rods and brake rotors. I believe these came about since the car, before we got it, sat unused for nearly a year as its previous owner became very ill

. At any rate, have him check out the fuel pump at least.
This car is still worth it though. I love driving it!!
