What to check before buying

Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
