Pink coolant crust from a leaking water pump. Check the NAV (if equipped) for full functionality. Plug a spark plug or two to look for any oil on the plug (bad oil consumption and poor compression). Listen for any bad wheel bearings. Get it up on a rack and check it out for an signs of damage.

A CarFax should be a no-brainer too.
