How to buy a st162.

Hello people,
Alllrighty, I am in the selection stage of getting myself a SX st162 celica.
Now before I start I would like to say I have been doing a bit of reading (11 pages of the st162 thread). I am actually looking to buying my own first car, (no more parental loaners!)
Unfortunately I have little experience with how to actually go about buying a car and what to look for in one of these celicas..
What i do have though is a bit of experince with working on cars and lotsa engineering mates from my course who are good with playing around with toranas', 280zx', calais' n xr6's, ta22's to mention a few.
I pretty much want to get a car in decent mechanical condition and average interior/exterior condtion. I plan to add some decency to the looks car..(read sleekness, not ricing). I am not thinking of many major mechanical overhauls ie leaving the motor and gbox alone maybe a new exhaust/pod/cat system and a new wheel/susp/brakes package but thats all as I only plan to own the car for 2-4 years and then sell it without loosing too much read (more than 100% of its original buying price  )
So.. what should i make sure i do and dont do when buying a car.. and what should I look for in particular in this car.
Thanks,
Praz
ps. i'm in brisbane if anyone feels the uncontrollable urge to offer me their car for sale. i know this aint the wtd section but yeah i'm just waiting on work approval to part-time or for the cash to build up a bit more.. whichever comes first
