Be careful with your warranty, most stories I have read were bad relating to coverage.
Have a good "idependant shop" do a pre inspection.
leak down-
RMS check [oil leak]-
Check engine light operation [make sure all lights on your dash operate "CEL"]
Many other tests, but those being predominate.
One easy test is to ask for the last smog readings. They will tell a lot or if you are set on one car. Spend a few bucks and do a pre test.
A bad/ problem motor will smog with high numbers O2's or "cats" going bad; Close to failure.
Also ask what type of gas have they been running. If they are running Chevron it will be a healthier motor then normal gas. We have some bad type's of fuel in San Diego [Arco] which will make big fat rocks on your valves.
This information was passed to me from a smog guy I know.
Good luck -
Scott
