There isnt much out the ordinary to look for really.
Just look for any signs of excess ware.
Clutch brakes seats and general stuff like that.
That add would make me check it out cearefully as all that sound stuff could either be badly installed or signal that a younger person has owned it. Not to tar all youngsters with the same brush (hell im still young) but some get hold of expensive cars and dont look after them as well as they could do.

Hey man, welcome to the site.. Is this Dna from the mlr?.. thats a stupidly good price for an fq 300.. id pay for an AA mechanic to come with you (think its about £200) to have a good look round it, but at that price id snap it up mate
