tune up.
plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter, air filter, oil change and filter...
and then detail the interior.

^^ Yes.
And resist the urge to paint stuff at random. A groundwrire kit is helpful, and CAI.
The MOST useful thing you can do is read the FAQs, and search any questions you can come up with.
Good luck, and welcome to the site!

Nice, just keep it clean an original man. The car will have better resale that way and it wont look out of place. My advice is to seek out any problems with the car like missing clips, plastics, wipers and all that and find replacements to get it as close as you can to being new. Then you will have a nice mx3

Great buy! Even the driver's seat is in great shape. Don't let the lanyard get caught in the pedals. You'll think you're driving a Toyota
