Next, inspect the tires, depth of tread, weather checks, cracks, etc. Do the tires match? particularly important for rear tires. New rear tires can cost approximately $500 for the size you are looking at. Next, how many hours are on it, just like miles on a car. If the hours are high, find out what repairs have been done recently, and ask for proof.
