Make sure you drive it.
Make sure there is no weird tire wear.
Make sure there is no shake in the steering wheel.
Feel out the clutch
Small things to check on to see if someone could have done mods.
The small black clips that hold under side engine cover - I have never removed all of them without some marks etc.
Spark plugs - Compare mileage with color of plugs.
Lastly,
No the reverse swap is easy with the radio. I believe the process is in the How TO section. Just reverse the process obviously.
Make sure the stock gauge goes to 1.2bar ish - Also make sure it is not pegging at 1.5.

Check and be sure that there is a vin stamp on ever body panel (fenders, bumpers, etc) - if there isn't they have been replaced which means it was in an accident. I found this out the hard way but I ended up getting a new IX because of it so it was a win situation.
