Check under door for rust. Make sure battery isn't too old, as these cars are voltage sensitive with all the sensors it has. IC pump probably has been replaced with the miles it has on it, but worth looking into. The pullies on the front of the engine, idler, s/c, need to be inspected. The rest is general. Wheels, wheel bearings, that you would normally look at on any cars with that mileage. Good luck. I am serious though, if you pass, please let me know. This is RACE CAR material right there...lol....for me anyway...
There are a few things missed here. If you notice that you are losing coolant, search this site for information on intercooler leaks. It's a common problem that can be corrected but the dealer has no idea of diagnosing the issue and will charge $1800 for the part. If you have fault codes or electrical issues that show up, again search the site before getting any work done. The knowledge here will save you big.
Congrats on the car. Even with 100K on the clock it will still beat on cars costing 4 times the price.
