HOW TO BUY AN S70....NEED TIPS, ETC. S70

i was driving through a town i regularly visit, and saw a '99 S70 sedan, automatic, non-turbo, Blue with +/- 80,000 miles for $6,200.00. here's what i noticed:
the paint is in excellent shape...no scratches, dings, etc.
interior is nice: no rips, tan patterned fabric seats with faux leather accents, trunk is clean, interior is clean, etc. steel wheels (good for winter) and hubbies. overall the car's in real nice shape.

here's the question: what do i look at to make sure i am buying a "proper" car? it seems really cheap for what it is. where do i look for potential problems?

i am currently driving a 94 940 non turbo....love it silly. aside fromthe RWD/FWD conflict and newer technology, and there any quirks with this thing? the fact that it is GM influenced (please correct me if i am wrong) kind of scares me a little.
