She has a Dinan high flow throttle body, stage 3 software and a non-Dinan cold air intake (which I'd like to upgrade to Dinan). The service records show very consistent maintenance up until 1 year ago.

The pre-purchase inspection suggested replacing the valve cover gaskets and CV boot. Other than that she seems pretty clean. The service advisor at the inspecting dealer wanted it for himself. I am taking care of those, but wanted to tap this forum to see what other maintenance items I should be looking for or checking right away. She is not a daily, but I'd like to take care of things before they become a bigger issue.

Thanks All, I appreciate the expertise.

If you plan on keeping it get the timing chain guides done. Age is just as hard on them as mileage.
