Thank you Mike, for the reply.
That is the exact one that I am asking about. We actually haven't even seen it yet. We were going to go tomorrow, but thought I would ask some advice before we do. If we think we like it enough, we will definitely hire someone certified to inspect it for us. Do you have any other advice? We do have a checklist of things to look for ourselves from a book I purchased. Wondering if that make, model and year has any kind of reputation in general?

ask to see the maintenance & service records check the sides for delamination and water damage inside and out

I would also look at the age of the tires. Look at the sidewalls for cracks and check the date code on the tire.
Also like Mike said, look for water damage. Open the over head compartments and look for water stains. See if it smells moldy.
Good luck! Let us know what you find. The picture makes it look real nice.
