Question

I've seen a scooby that i'm really wanting to buy as i have been considering one for years. I haven't driven one yet but i just know i'll love it. The car i'm looking at is a uk turbo, 98 model, mica green with 45000 miles and FSH, it has a prodrive ECU, exhaust and induction kit and 17" gold prodrive alloys. In other words, my dream car. As i may buy it tomorrow i'm just looking for some advise on what i should look out for. The car is from a reputable garage and i'll get it hpi'd, etc but was wondering if there is anything else to look out for apart from the obvious. Thanks in advance
