If you really want an expert opinion, give Weststar Aviation (formerly Premier Air Center) in Alton, IL. a call. They are a factory authorized Citation service center. Ask for Pat Welch - the guy is a walking encyclopedia of Citation knowledge. They would be a good place to have a pre-buy done as well, if the location suits.
A VII is not an airplane I'd want to do "a quick once over" on.
I'm not affiliated, but they do a lot of work for us and we have been very satisfied.
