How’s drivability?
Any warning lights on?
Maintenance records?
For peace of mind give the car a thorough going over. Check and change fluids/hoses/filters etc as needed. Go over the suspension, brakes, tires and repair/replace/upgrade as needed

My Personal "New To Me" Checklist
  1. New Battery
  2. New Pads and Rotors
  3. New Tires
  4. New Filters (Air and Fuel)
  5. Sea Foam in the tank (3 tanks back to back)

I take the vehicle out on a very familiar road and do a full Mechanics test drive.
