cop cars and taxi cabs dont usually have alot of miles on them, at least in my town. stop and go stop and go all the time, yours seems like it was driven on the highway its whole life. i say bring it to the dealer, have them go over it with a fine tooth combo. Get a checklist of what definetly needs to be replaced and what tentatively can be replaced. I personally would change/flush all fluids, alignment, plugs, air filter, in cabin filter, etc. Just start with the basics. As problems arise fix them. This car should go to at least 250k no problem. a nd PS the I30 was modded at 120k miles on an automatic trans w/ a valve body. spun through 2nd gear everytime i would spray. your car will last trust me

Hmm IMO... spend another 2-3K and get a G with a lot less miles.... (like 1/2 or better)... siince you are going to be spending at LEAST 15K (if you wanna do a greddy twin + built motor - 15k is a conservative estimate to do it right w/ tune and everything)... and since you are going to be spending another 15k on the car... why not just get a G which has turbos and is for sale... or since you are going to be spending a lot more $$ on the car... just spend extra and start out w/ a more reliable G w/ less miles...
