Message 1) Look inside the engine compartment for any signs of body work.

2) Look on the panels for body work.

3) Look for paint that might be faded in certain areas.

4) If it looks ultra clean under the hood ask him why? If he had the engine steamed cleaned that can cause major issues.

Overall just examine it well visually to make sure it wasn't in any accidents. If it was in an accident(s) just make sure they were minor.

Driving it...

1) Make sure the car shifts smoothly.
2) Make sure the turbos are kicking in around the 3500 RPM mark.

Find out if it was garaged, owner history etc...

Play relecant buyer... I was too excited when I bought mine but I was able to make clear to the previous owner if the price was not right I would walk.

Good Luck! keep us posted...

New Sig is coming!
