First thing I looked for was holes in the roof from the sign or holes in the dash/floor from the mount for the Taxi meter lol. Taxi companys here paint them white, yellow, orange, or red, and they don't sell them usually, they run them into the ground. I also looked for decal burn in the paint from where the security company decals would have been. I think this is just a car that saw a lot of highway use. I just know how things go when you sell a car to someone you know - if I sold it to a stranger I am sure it would be fine, but if I get it for this guy then sure enough the traction battery will crap out in two weeks lol.
