Seems like you got it for a good price. The only thing to look for is sludge. You can drain the oil and use a wire coat hanger and scrape around the oil pan and check if anything comes off on it. You can also remove the valve cover and look to make sure everything is clean. Make sure you change the oil on a regular basis. Being 10 years old and 100k plus miles things tend to break. Suspension will eventually need replacing. The exhaust has a flex pipe that tends to rust and break but it is probably the best exhause design in the world and is extremely easy to fix. If you like to work on your own car or need to solve issues come back here all the time there are pleanty of people that work on their own cars here and every issue has been covered and people are always willing to help.
Good luck with your new ride,
Rich
