If you can get it up to highway speeds. Check for steering wobbles, and warped brake disc.
Apart from that the usual oil colour, coolent colour.
If you have a raa or racv, or whatever it is in your neck of the woods they do a couple of free car inspections for you and a written report.
We'll worth it imo.

What not to look at? Would be an easier question to answer. Look at absolutely everything. If you can what westy suggests is good too.

By the sounds of it, you got a great car at bargain basement prices.
