Don't start modifying it.

See what (if anything) needs to be done mechanically wise (new pads/rotors/tires/cabin filter/air filter,etc)

Take a look at the required maintenance and see if anything needs to be changed. I believe you are 20k away from plugs/trans fluid and filter swap.

Also when you change the cabin filter, do not try to force the door open by force..you will break it and be out 1,000 dollars for a blower assembly. Read the directions in the cars manual and do it exactly as it states.

Congrats on the purchase. Great deal. Did you get an extended warranty? If not, you might want to check out some of the options. I doubt you will have any problems but peace of mind means a lot then it's easier to put some money into mods.

Congrats with the F! I'd also hold off modding. You might need some new tires or rotors as MisterSkiz mentioned earlier. After all that, if you don't have one already, I'd look into an extended warranty for extra protection. After that, happy modding! You're going to like what's available for the F.
