Chains are cheap, most parts are cheap. I'd ask about the frame:

Any crashes?
Any dents?
Paint chips?
Rust?
Any frame damage at all?

Then ask about the wheels (the next most expensive part):

Running true?
Any damage to the rims?
Any bearing play?

Then you can worry about the easily replaced stuff.
