The car looks good from the pictures, but all cars look good if judging solely by the pictures provided. They have the car listed as a Sport, but based on the interior pictures (white gauge needles, piano black trim, leather seats, Bose sound system) the car is actually a Grand Touring model.
When I looked at MS3's, I checked the following things:
1. Oil level and quality on the dipstick (make sure it's dark brown and isn't milky)
2. Check all body panel gaps to make sure they're even
3. Bring a strong flashlight and check for any oil leaks
4. Check wheels for curb rash or other damage (can show signs of how car was driven)
5. Open and close all doors to make sure they close securely and straight
6. Look at bolts in the engine bay for signs of removal which may indicate modding
That being said, I purchased my MS3 used on Craigslist and I got a great deal. I've put 15k miles on it in the past year and have had no issues. My car always starts when needed and runs like stink when I push the skinny pedal on the right.
Good luck with your search and hopefully you get a good price on this MS3!
