Buying a used 4x4 in Al Quoz, what should I be checking underneath?

I'm going to look at a used Land Cruiser in Al Quoz this weekend and I want to be prepared rather than relying on gut feeling. The seller seems decent over the phone but you never really know until you see the car. I'm not experienced with buying used cars here and I don't want to get excited and overlook something obvious. I read a Leading used car buying checklist for buyers in Al Quoz that mentioned checking for overspray on the rubber seals and looking at the undercarriage for fresh undercoating that might be hiding rust, which I hadn't thought of. But I'd still like to hear from people who've actually bought 4x4s in this area. What are the red flags you've personally encountered? And is it worth paying for a proper inspection on a car in this price range or should I just trust my own eyes?
