This really depends on what you are buying.
Is it modified? Stock?
If it is stock... get a carfax. Check the vin and see how many accidents.
If you cant get a carfax, things to look for. Check the radiator support. Near the ends where it meets the fender, how's the fitment? Does it align perfectly? If it looks like it's tweaked, check the fender tubs. See if it looks crimped. See around the headlights, see if there's any crimple marks.
Check the body lines, see if they all match up and are straight. Are the gaps between doors, hood, bumper, fender?
Check the trunk, lift up the carpet. Look near the spare tire well, and check to see if it looks straight. If there was an accident, u can see if the floor looks crimpled, bondo, new sealant has been laid down. You can look under the rear bumper too (not on S13 cuz the gastank).
Simplest way to check for accident is checking the body lines. If the frame is fucked, you will see it when the body panels are not aligned properly.
Fuck the mechanical shit, just rebuild or swap a new motor. lol
