Hello all!

After 10 years of telling myself no with a variety of likely silly reasons like "oh well it's 300 miles away" , there is a VX for sale 2 miles from my house at a dealer. I already put 100 bucks down to put it on hold for this weekend because they have silly hours.

I don't want to ask anyone to talk me out of it...I just don't see that happening. But do tell, what should I get immediately serviced upon purchase? It has 115k (2001 model) miles on it, timing belt, pully, water pump etc. Is already planned. Any common frame rot areas I may need checked? Transmission flush? Gaskets?

It looks amazing and they only want 5k bucks. I was tossing around the idea of a wrangler because we have particularly bad winters here, and my other car is a cayman. Apparently wranglers are horrible in ice and snow on roads, how silly. Obviously I prefer sportier feel too, which that absolutely did not have.

Bottom line is, what are common things that would leave me stranded? At that mileage/age that aren't immediately visible?
