I know that you plan on driving the car a lot so mileage probably isn't the most important factor, but make sure you budget at least $5k to have the car gone over. All maintenance items from suspension parts, to brakes, to tires, to clutch, etc. etc. It might be all taken care of, but who knows. Also another $1500 for paint correction would be a good idea to have on hand. After that, do to the higher (relatively speaking with these cars) mileage, you might want to consider upping your annual maintenance budget for larger wear and tear items on the suspension and drive train.

100% street miles. 2nd owner car with 6000 miles put on it since 2009. Oltoff racing did the TKO600 and 3:31 rear end in 2009 and went through the car. The exhaust and suspension were upgraded last year. Haven't really considered the cost of maintenance to be that high but good point. So far paint looks pretty flawless
