Got a used EVO for a deal

I just got a deal with an 03 Tarmac Black evo for 22k with only 18,000 miles on it. Are there any things like maintenance wise to do to the vehicle? i know it needs to be detailed cuz its a black car but yeah im excited! anything like spark plugs or transmission? the oil change has already been done with mobil 1

well...its been on autotrader for like 1 month so i was like ok...then he dropped the price from 24k to 23k! i was damn! and i talked to him and it went down to 22k. It has scratches on the front bumper and no sunroof but i can live with it and it can easily be fixed... man im not used to AWD i thought i broke it when i shifted 1-2! the tires didnt chirp or start spinning like my turbo rsx!

Oh crap, I'm a bone head, wasn't paying attention, for some reason I thought the price was $18K and miles was 23,000. Still $22K is a great price

What is your idea of a good price? Bottom bargain I would probably go with the ACT 2600. Personally, I chose the Exede Twin Disc Street/Race which is more expensive but also comes with replacement for OEM flywheel. I would definitely be prepared to replace it if you drive your car aggressively.
