m1 garand owners..what to look for?

In the local paper here today there is an personal ad for 2 garands. It reads that these rifles are from the springfield armory and they also put the first 3 number into the serial codes follows by x's and then agin in a second set. E.G 999xxx 999xxx.

I called today and it turns out this gentleman is a collector and part of a m-1 society here locally. The 2 that he has for sale are a 1942 and a 1944 model. He's asking 650. for each. I really want to get me an m-1 as i have wanted one for a long time now. What should i look for when i go to check these rifles out?
