add exhaust manifold and engine mounts
18" wheels not recommended by the manufacturer. Unless the wheels/tires are in terrible shape, upgrading is very expensive.

A pre-purchase inspection should be mandatory.
Make sure you ask how many miles are on the clutch. Clutches typically only last about 80k miles on a Turbo. These cars are also prone to have electrical gremlins, so make sure all the power accessories work. The cruise control in particular is very common to be non-functional. |
