Just the usual mate..

drugs hidden in places..
weapons of mass destruction in the boot..
both mp5's behind head lights work and are loaded..
stinger hasn't been used..

Na on a serious not nothing more than any other car.. just make sure the rear wash/wipe both work.. all interior switchs work as they should.. no crunches in gearbox.. drives fluently and not sluggish.. no rust..
