Make sure it has oil in it and that you have some to spare. If you 
can, do a valve adjustment and tune-up before you start out. Don't 
lug the engine on hills, but don't over rev it, either. Of course I 
realize that if you are a first time owner you really don't have much 
of an idea of where the 2 limits are.

I would be very suspicious of anyone who sells a car that has just 
300 miles on the engine. No one would sell a car in this condition 
unless they knew that there was some "hidden" problem in there.

Good luck!
