46k miles? nice find. The only thing that I could say would be the coils, if they are the updated ones with the grey dot. Other than that just regular maintenance, OEM belts, spark plugs, synthetic oil, tranny flush(automatic?) just the regular. Good luck with your great find.

Coils and o2 sensors tend to go bad prematurely. Nothing major though.

You bought that one? Nice man. You're gonna have a lot of fun with this car. I love mine to death. Just make sure to wash it and yeah like the others said above. Beware of the notorious rust on these cars. Mine is a grey AE with 115k miles (bought it with 100k 2 months ago) and it just started getting rust ok the rear quarter panels. Other than that have fun bro!

lol, kinda surprised by that, but I guess with that mileage I wouldn't be surprised if it was the lowest mileage 20ae around

If i recall the tint was turning purple, which means it was cheap tint or some cleaned it with windex or similar product. Should look to get that redone when you can.

Yes. ECU failures caused by failed actuators (engine mounts, IACV) are reasonably common, very annoying, and needless. This note explains how to prevent them: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6O...1fNlF5QjQ/view
