LOL It depends on how the car was maintained.

Tell him to listen to the engine, it should sound smooth, also, tell him to drive it next to a concrete wall like a highway divider at a good speed and roll the window down to hear if there are any weird sounds coming from the engine at speed... Is there any smoke coming out of the exhaust, does the car 'feel' healthy when driven? etc etc etc...   If you wanna really find out have it tested for compression I guess

yea that's the obvious stuff but i think he means stuff like know things to have been lemon's in the car. Such as parts that nissan has forgot to make un shitty even tho there are none, But i hope you catch my drift.
