I hope this is in the right section if not feel free to move it . I found 2 sundown sa 12s for sale on Craigslist guy wants 250 says their 2 months old . My question is what should I look for as problems I thought I would bring my multimeter and check ohm levels of coils a flashlight and check color of coils anything else I should check thanks for your help

Check for torn spiders/separated glue

No tears/hole in the surround

Ohm load of both coils

No shifted magnet

Free air them to full excursion and check that there is no clicking/popping/rubbing. A "whooshing" sound is normal.

General cosmetic condition is usually a pretty good indicator of how well the owner has treated them overall

Depends. I would see if you have a local Sundown dealer first and if so, check their prices. I got two 12"s for $260 brand new.

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
