Bring a Chevy guy with you that hates Mustangs. He'll point out every flaw there is.
 
But seriously, I'm not up on my S550s as much as I should be so maybe someone else will chime in, but these cars have no major vices, rust is not much of a problem. They handle well, especially the PP optioned ones.
Good luck on your find, it looks like a great car.
 
The only thing I can think of that's S550 specific would be A/C noise and functionality and then wheel bearing noise.

Other than that just check for the basic stuff.
Modifications, leaks, check engine lights, have an Oasis report run if it's being sold at a Ford dealership, carfax, etc...
