What's the mileage? Ask if the transmission fluid has been changed at all. It should be done at approx 40k mile intervals.
If it's not been done get them to do it before you buy it. Gear changes should be smooth and not jerky.

Make sure everything electrical is working. Heated seats for example are expensive to repair if faulty. Check the mirrors close and both adjust from the drivers side. Make sure the AC is blowing cold. Don't ignore any warning lights either.
I would be somewhat concerned with the other problem you mention that it's not sitting level.

Thanks I will check the level once its on a flat road as it was parked on a slope in the dealership so probably just the way it sat
