Look for:

Service records.

Worn out suspension components (How does it drive - when you accelerate at highway speed, does the car yaw to left or right?)

Do the brakes stop smoothly and straight - no pulling.

How does the tranny shift?

How dirty is the transmission fluid?

When were the timing belt/tensioner/water pump replaced (105,000 max per belt)

Make sure the PCV system is maintaining a slight vacuum on the crankcase (rubber glove or oil cap jiggle test).

Does EVERYTHING on the instrument cluster work?

Have someone rev the engine a bit while holding the brake in gear - do the motor mounts flex much?

Any shaking in the front end when accelerating hard? (CV joint issues)

Are there at least two working key fobs ???!!! (They're expensive)
