Default Need maintenance advice, 90k

Looking to pick up an '05 6 m/t base with 90k. For ~$10.4k

Met the guy up today, car looks to be in pristine condition. Car drives fine, paint/interior mint and carfax checks out.

My question is what will I be running into maintenance wise buying this car? I just going to assume he didn't do anything just to be on the safe side... I'm going to do a tune up when I pick it up Thursday.

Is there any major maintenance jobs coming up soon or already due @ 90k?

Thanks in advanced

A vehicle with 90,000 miles will require more upkeep than one with 45,000 miles. You will pay a premium for the vehicle with 45,000 miles, but less for maintenance.

90k you are looking at new dampers. Check normal wear items like clutch and wheel bearings.

2005 is known for major transmission problems.

You know what if you truly are in DFW, TX go hit up ACIDJAKE (MODERATOR) and he can do all the work for you at a fraction of the price and he actually does this stuff everyday on G35/350z.
