Default What to look for??

Right... Im going to look at a pug 205 gti (1.9) tommorow, what sort of things should i look out for? Its got 10 months mot no tax, just been resprayed (by the owner) new bucket seats, k+n, s/s exhaust, 16" BK alloys and lowered 60mm! I asked him if it rubs in the arches and he admits it does and cant really take anyone in the back! .
I was thinking of getting hold of a set of original 1.9 gti alloys and whacking them on and selling the 16s?
O.. He was askling £1400 which seemed a little steep but i've got him down to £1100, is it worth that?
130+k on the clock
Any info would be a great help TA!!
