Low mileage is not necessarily best.
These cars like to be driven and also like to be driven hard from time to time.
It is a good think to get close to redline or even hit the rev limiter every now and then.
Frequent oil changes is very good as sitting oil starts to turn to crap and running it hard burns off the crap. DIY oil changes are really easy and depending on what oil you use, oil and filter is $65 to $150. I don't want to turn this into an oil thread, but you can get Mobile 1 0w/40 at Wallyworld for around $26 for 5 quarts. Drink whatever kool-aid you like as far as oil.
If you are driving 50 miles every day, it will get fully warmed up each way and that is a good thing
Depending on how and where it has been driven, the clutch could last way longer than another year. I have 75 k on my 04 and it is the original clutch and I have 6 track days and 4 AX in the last 9 months as well as lots of canyon carving on the great back roads here in San Diego.
There is basically no indication the clutch needs to be replaced until it starts to slip
your should probably flush and refill the brakes, unless it was done in that last year. In any case, it needs to be changed every 2 years.
Much of the maintenance is easy DIY. For example, it takes longer to jack up the car and remove the wheels than it does to actually replace the brake pads.
What is the asking price and what are the options?
Lastly, even if it is your best friend and there are complete service records, you should have an independant PPI done
Oh yea, without pictures, it ain't real
