Default I'm buying a Cadillac, please help?

I am buying a used Cadillac. I had a 91 Fleetwood a couple of years ago, but it had been pretty beaten. But, I loved it! Below is the ad for the car I’m looking at. Any red flags? Or questions I could ask? Or things (problems) I should look for?

<<<Amazing '91 Cadillac with only 98K miles. (75% highway miles) This car looks beautiful and has been maintained very regularly. The following work has been done in the last 6-8 months: 2 week old battery, new water pump, new oil pan, new heater hoses, replaced original spark plugs, new motor mount, new rear brakes and power steering hoses replaced. This car is a steal at $3000 considering its look and major work recently done.>>>

I read somewhere about checking error codes?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks

(sorry if I posted on wrong forum)
