Buying an '05 w/ 90k.. questions?
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

What is a "tune up" ?
Yes,you can play safe and get the plugs changed/filters etc.
If it were me,and the car runs fine,I'd not do heavy duty stuff like plugs.
I'd change the oil,filters,check out the brakes.Change gearbox oil...Check the
belts..should have been changed by now.
Can the owner give you any info on what HE did?

I would have a mechanic inspect that car from top to bottom especially since the car is approaching the glorified 100k mile mark just to be safe. Also, make sure the owner provides the paperwork of the oil changes and maintenance that's been done on the car. If not, DO NOT buy the car! It's as simple as that.
