Make sure that it holds water. A response like that would puts me off a little, but I'm a little cautious about possibly being ripped off.

Take a measuring tape and a calculator with you when you pick it up to make sure it IS 55 gallon... Someone got a smaller tank than they thought recently...

Approx gallons = (length x width x height)/231

Well at the very least look up the dimensions of a 55gal and bring a tape measure to compare the length, width, and height. That way you don't have to worry about calculating anything.
I'd also ask her about whether it holds water. Worst case use a garden hose to try it out at her house before you buy it. Blowing $60 on a broken tank isn't an enjoyable thing I'd imagine.
