Default Becoming an owner

I am going to look at a 2004 enthusiast with 150k miles, owner says he just put in new clutch and catalytics. Any advice of stuff I should be weary about? Any advice would help!

Price? Modifications? What major repairs have been made, if any?

I'd ask what repairs were made during painting or if it was strictly cosmetic. The asking price seems a bit in the high side for the age/mileage. I'd definitely invest in a Carfax (although no guarantee there wasn't damage to repair).

Pay for a full and independent mechanical assessment of the car. The owner should allow this if you're serious about a purchase.
