Common maintenance needed?

I'm thinking of purchasing the following:

The car is a 93 Z28 A4, around 120K miles, has a fresh rebuilt trans with a 3200 stall/trans cooler, and a new opti back in September.

My question is..is there anything I should be worried about replacing in the near future mechanical or maintenance wise that is prone to go out on these cars? The opti is all I've ever thought about going out, other than that, they are pretty reliable.

The rear end is making a little noise but that wouldn't be a factor anyways cuz a 12 bolt or 9 inch is in order regardless just because where the car would be going down the road. It also has the power steering and A/C fully deleted so neither of those are any concern either.

Thanks

Re: Common maintenance needed?

Do you know where the tranny was rebuilt? A lot of shops can't seem to get the 4L60/4L60E rebuilt right and they'll only last 10-20k miles and let go again.

Other than that, it's just like any other car, at 120k you can expect things to go wrong every once in a while, if the engine was treated right you shouldn't have issues with that.

Trans was built by a reputable shop. I had them build the tranny what was in my GTP. It held up to a lot of abuse just fine.

Thanks for the info.
