..Make sure the muffler bearing is good..(seriously)
Also make sure the wheels are on forwards, otherwise when you post pictures, everyoe will point out "Your wheels are on backwards"

Slightly more serious checklist...
-Matinence records are a BIG plus
-Transmission:Though its a later year and should be alright, make sute it shifts smoothly, ect.
-check all the fluids. oil, atf,and diff fluid are key
-make sure theres no cracks in the windshield, its a very expensive part
-Make sure there's no noise from the rear wheel bearings. Some svxi are fine, others are plauged by bearing problems
-oil leaks: Valve cover gaskets and front seals. Fairly typical for a 10 yar old car, but will require replacing nonetheless
-brake rotors may be warped
-Check radiator top tank for cracks / leaks

Also some more benign problems that are typical
-Bad hood and trunk lifters
-sunroof may need a light push to get it opening
-check out for any excessive wear on the seats, steringwheel, ect.
-paint may be faded / peeling from mirrors and plastic peices below rear windows

Being you say its a one owner car with service recors, and well maintained...Id say all is well. Just check out them records and see if the timing belt and other 60k matinence was done
