Things to look for when buying

I am looking at buying a 2002 Nissan Maxima SE 6spd black on black. I wanted to know what are some things I should look for when talking to the seller about it, like common problems, things the seller has or hasn't fixed?? Thanks!

if from a dealer, make sure he gets you a carfax on the spot.

check the quality of the paint. Nissan paint is pretty bad and is prone to chipping, especially on the front bumper and the hood.

If it's a 6spd listen for a howling clutch

open the hood and trunk. run your finger along the sides ( where the trunk and hod normally cover) to check for overspray. this way you can check if the car has been in an accident. something carfax does no catch.
