Check everywhere for body rust. Check to make sure the windows roll down freely. Check to make sure the idle doesn't surge, check to make sure the exhaust doesn't smell like fuel or burnt oil. Check to make sure the throttle moves freely.

I mean, it's pretty basic stuff, there's nothing really different about any car. Just check that everything works in a way you are comfortable with. If they aren't, make sure it's something you're able to fix cheaply and use it as a bargaining chip.
