Look very carefully for previously repaired accident/water damage. If you don't feel comfortable doing that, IMO it would be best to have it inspected. If you do and if everything checks out, it sounds like you found a good deal. Negotiating the price down a little could only sweeten the deal for you. Enjoy!
