They've hit all the big ones, but I'd like to add a couple more:

1. Does the car come with a complete service history (including receipts) ? If so, look it over for things like when the tires were changed, when the break fluid was changed, how often the oil was changed, has the IMS bearing been changed (and by who), etc. If no history, assume you are going to spend money on those things.

2. (this one is more of a plus than a requirement)... was the previous owner a PCA member? It's been my experience that PCA owners tend to be a bit more religious about maintaining their cars than none PCA members. Also, if you buy the car I recommend you join PCA (most dealers will give you a 10% discount on parts).
