PPI is a must - you will know what the problems are, and you will know if the warranty covers those problems or not.
suspension - check the front suspension, the CV boots. check rear frame bushings.
check guibo
check play in steering rack
check to see if the paint is uniform
check to see if the panel gaps are uniform
try to start the engine when it is cold and listen for foreign sounds, like "marbles in a can", some hissing, unusual idling
check the battery, to see how old it is (part of future maintenence replacement)
see if the engine bay is dusty or clean - if clean, be wary, look for any fresh oil stains/leak, if dusty, is much better, any leak will be easily spotted
run the VIN though the vin checker site to see what was included in the car from the factory (for example, you say it has factory nav, but it was never installed from the factory, so, it must be a retrofit)
PPI is a must... pricewise - you should know better what you are willing to pay...
Good luck!!!
