Looking at a used LS, what to look for?

[Mussin]

I am looking at a used 2000 Ls v8. It has 131,000 miles on it and looks to be in decent shape. It has had all new coils and Valvecover gaskets replaced, new front swaybar bushings. It also has a set of Eibach 1.5" lowering springs. The only problems with it are the seat heaters dont work, he rear pass side window dosent work, a few paint chips on the nose and a wear mark (leather wore thought) on the shoulder of the drivers seat. It also has a rebuilt/salvage title, It was in a werck 5yrs ago or so, but cant tell. It also has 18" rims on it and looks killer, it comes with the 5 factory 17" rims and tires. They are asking $5500

My question is what are good things to ask or look for? This would be my daily driver so I need it to hold up.

Thanks guys

i would have said maybe until i read "salvage title." offer him 2 (maybe).

edit: actually, even with a clear title, i wouldnt have said yes for that price. as trilkb mentioned, the window motors are pricey.
