Congrats sir!

It's a solid (and rare) car that you got yourself. With it being 13 years old, I would suggest on changing out all fluids (engine, tranny, differential, coolant, brake, etc.), cleaning out MAF/TB, check plugs/battery/etc. Most importantly, I would check to see if the CMC/CSC have been replaced. If not, I would make this the #1 priority and ASAP.

Congrats on the new car!

I'd begin with the basics. Go for a full service first - oil, filters, fluids, brake check, suspension check, and then proceed from there.

Welcome.

I agree with the above for sure on any car you buy.
