Good choice  :happy2:
Have a thorough look for rust on the front wheel arches and door sills. Also under the boot badge release and the gap where the rear screen meets the paint work. These are all common places for rust unfortunately. It's all fixable, but at a price, so if you find any it would be a serious haggling point.
