Finally got my Max! Need advice!

2000 Se, my mom just got the 07 SL so it got handed down to me. Its got 133,000 miles on it and a brand new alternator as of a month ago. It seems to run ok and still has its horses.

I was wondering whats the first work on it I should do, if any at all. Is it too old to even bother doing work on? Should I think about selling out? Should the 1st thing I do is engine work? Etc etc.

Specs: 4 Speed Auto :/

4 Speed Auto, my fault I should have added that. I'll definitely start researching all that stuff you listed.

Did you Mom do the scheduled maintenance? If not, do that first. For mods, do

1. springs/struts
2. intake
3. window tint
4. wheels/tires
5. stereo
