    Normal stuff. Take for an extended test drive at various speeds.

    Also, check or verify timing belt replacement - was due at 90 or 100k miles. If not done already it is a costly maint. item around $1k. If not done, factor that in on price.

    And Welcome from TX!

    Even a new frame can rust after 8 years so check thoroughly.
    Other then that I would check for timing belt replacement as it should be done every 90k miles.
    Check the condition of the transmission fluid (just pull the dipstick and check the color). Red is good. Dark red is okay but due for changing. Black is bad and could spell transmission damage.
    Also see if the lower ball joints were replaced when they did the frame swap.
